Hey WordPress! What’s with the ads on my website?? – UPDATE – issue resolved

Posted: December 24, 2012 by tallbloke in Blog

UPDATE: This isn’t a WordPress issue, so apologies to them. Google Chrome told me to restart to complete an update and enabled an ads generator plugin called ‘coupon companion’.

Hey! WordPress!! I pay you $30 per annum not to have advertising displayed on my blog. You seem to have broken the contract.

upgrades

My readers made donations a year ago to pay for the no-ads upgrade. You are making me look bad.

SORT IT OUT

    I’ve a similar subscription, but http://wiert.me/ does not show ads, and your site does not either.. At least not on the browsers I tested. Your site only has a donate option in the left column.

    Thanks JP, I’ve tracked down the problem now. Panic over.

    The cynic in me wouldn’t be surprised if some popular sites get adverts surruptitously added to them without the knowledge of the owners. I presume it’s very easy for google and others.

    Last time I checked, the BBC puts adverts on its US website.
