Thanks.

Adsense, cannot find that setting: ad_platform_through_trust_level

this is a hidden setting with default trust_level_2:

plugins/discourse-adplugin/config/settings.yml

to enable it, see here:

@Discourse

How to Edit Hidden Site Settings

Option 1: Rails Console

To modify hidden site settings, you typically need to use the Rails console, a command line tool that allows you to interact directly with the backend of your Discourse installation. To adjust settings via the rails console you can follow these steps:

1. Access the Rails Console:

cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
rails c

2. Change a Setting:

SiteSetting.your_setting_name = new_value

Replace your_setting_name with the name of the setting you want to modify, and new_value with the value you want to set.

3. Exit the Console:

exit

i think you need to do something like this, say if you want to set it to trust_level_3 for example:

cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
rails c

SiteSetting.adsense_through_trust_level = 3

exit

Thanks but typing exit does nothing.

does it not exit you out of the rails console? is this a standard install?
