AdSense ads txt Problem – Fixed (Authorised Sellers Issue)

✅ 1. Understand why you got the ads.txt problem

Google may show this error because:

✔ ads.txt file not created
✔ ads.txt uploaded in the wrong folder
✔ Syntax mistake in ads.txt
✔ Site recently moved or changed domain
✔ CDN or cache blocking access
✔ HTTPS or www/non-www mismatch

✅ 2. Get your correct ads.txt code from AdSense

Follow these steps:

👉 Go to Google AdSense
👉 Settings → Account settings → Ads.txt
👉 Copy the official ads.txt line provided by Google

Example:

✅ 3. Upload ads.txt to the root directory

The file must be placed here:

👉 https://yourdomain.com/ads.txt

✔ Not inside any folder
✔ File name must be exactly ads.txt
✔ No spaces or extra characters

✅ 4. Fix ads.txt in WordPress (easy way)

If you use WordPress:

✔ Use a plugin like Rank Math, Yoast, or WPCode
✔ Paste the AdSense ads.txt line
✔ Save changes

Then check:
👉 yourdomain.com/ads.txt

✅ 5. Check ads.txt accessibility

Test properly:

✔ Open ads.txt in incognito
✔ Disable cache & CDN temporarily
✔ Make sure it opens without 404 or redirect

Correct result:

✅ 6. Fix www / non-www / HTTPS issues

Ensure consistency:

✔ AdSense domain = website domain
✔ ads.txt accessible on:

• https://yourdomain.com/ads.txt

• https://www.yourdomain.com/ads.txt

If not, set redirects correctly.

✅ 7. Wait for AdSense to recheck

After fixing:

👉 Wait 24–72 hours
👉 AdSense will automatically verify ads.txt

❌ Do NOT keep re-uploading the file
❌ Do NOT submit repeatedly

🚀 8. Confirm ads.txt status

Check in AdSense:

✔ Sites → Your site → Ads.txt status
✔ It should say Authorized sellers found
