Fix: google_pedestal_container inserted as a white blank block on page

Post by funnyinterestingcool » Fri Jan 20, 2023 12:51 pm

After migrating one of my AdSense sites, I noticed an odd piece of AdSense code loading at the bottom of all my pages (below the footer). It was creating a space for an Ad with the following dimensions:

Code: Select all

<ins id="google_pedestal_container" style="width: 100%; z-index: -1;"><div class="google-auto-placed pedestal_container" style="width: 100%; height: auto; clear: none; text-align: center;"><ins data-ad-format="auto" class="adsbygoogle adsbygoogle-noablate"  data-adsbygoogle-status="done" style="display: block; margin: auto; background-color: transparent; height: 875px;" data-ad-status="filled"><div id="aswift_3_host" tabindex="0" title="Advertisement" aria-label="Advertisement" style="border: none; height: 875px; width: 400px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative; visibility: visible; background-color: transparent; display: inline-block;"><iframe id="aswift_3" name="aswift_3" style="left:0;position:absolute;top:0;border:0;width:400px;height:875px;" sandbox="allow-forms allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation" width="400" height="875" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" allowtransparency="true" scrolling="no">


Each time the container loaded on my site, it would only insert a blank area. This caused for additional scrolling with no content and looked ugly. Unsure how this was being loaded, I simply blocked the google_pedestal_container from displaying on my site in a custom CSS file for my template. If anyone knows how or why this is loaded, please share. We do have auto ads for AdSense enabled on our site.
