Hi, I am unable to verify publisher code. I live in Canada and my publisher code looks like:
_ **google\_ad\_client: "ca-pub-81875578…** _
and when I enter publisher number (without “pub-”) Google does not find it.
How can I get Google to verify (Moving to US is not possible at the moment) 😉

The “ca-” in “ca-pub-” isn’t a Canada thing. The ad plugin is already using “ca-pub-” according to [Google’s instructions](https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/3221666?hl=en). How are you diagnosing the problem to determine that Google isn’t finding your publisher id?

Google won’t verify, and when I view page source there is no string with ad client ID anywhere on the page. Sry, newbie to Discourse..

Maybe you need to do the same as here:
> [@Your site isn't ready to show ads error](https://meta.discourse.org/t/adsense-plugin-site-error-alert-from-adsense/119115):
>
> I use [Communiteq](https://www.communiteq.com) (formerly DiscourseHosting) and their Adsense plugin — I do not know whether this factoid matters but I share it regardless. Anyhoo, I have added my necessary publisher ID and slot unit ID’s and such in plugin settings, and also added my site and subdomain on Adsense under their Sites settings. However, I have received this error, see attached: Did I need to add my site to Adsense? If so, do I need to copy and paste their snippet anywhere? Please help clarify this.…

Nope. It generated following
`script async src=“[https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js](https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js)”
script src="/theme-javascripts/b066ca3b74adbe0d038d57380e72163b79e3f87e.js?\_\_ws=here\_was\_hostname\_of\_forum"1st
Basically first line is ok, but it appears software will serve script as separate \*.js file and Google refuses to validate it..
