Something to Address Urgently
This week I noticed this statement from AdSense
Earnings at risk - You need to fix some ads.txt file issues to avoid severe impact to your revenue.
I struggled to search where to find that ads.txt nevertheless I found nothing. Even AdSense does not have the clear tutorial on how to locate that ads.txt.
Does anyone from the community worked succesfully on this and is willing to share how to solve the issue?
Thanks for the response that will enlighten us.

Hi Jimmy, seems you are not alone. I just finished reading a post from Janet with a similar problem. I do not use ad sense, but I have been thinking about it.
Perhaps you and Janet can brain storm through this.
Best wishes,
Michael
Yes, I have brought this to the Site Support but the process is something confusing to a non-tech person.
Hi I had this same problem x. here is my post with the solution : ) can anybody help? Google Adsense and an ads.txt file?
Thanks, Sara for your immediate attention, it's good you have resolved the issue.
It's a bit confusing to find where is that root level. Is this something to be done at Adsense dashboard, Or somewhere else? I tried to go to the Ad.txt Manager but I cannot see where is it.
You are very welcome, I spent nearly a day and tried to load programs to help, ended up nearly in tears and just on the off chance messaged site support to just see if they could help. Hope you get it sorted.

Step 1: Create an ads.txt file in your Notepad by saving your filename as ads.txt.
In your ads.txt file, type in the four fields.
Step 2: Go to ‘Media’ in your WordPress. Add your ‘ads.txt’ file in ‘Media’.
Step 3: Add and install plugin ‘Ads.txt Admin. Fill in details same as Step 1. Save ads.txt file.
Step 4: Check if ads.txt is fixed by typing in your website address in a new page with ‘/ads.txt’ added after your website address. The four fields should appear. It is now complete.
I'll try to follow this instruction, thank you very much.
