Some Ad Locations hit or miss loading on 5.0.5 Beta 2

I have noticed since this beta update today that some ad locations just show blank spaces. It seems the header, footer, and sidebar are okay, but the set locations within posts show a blank space. The ones after the first post in topics are fine, but any after that don't seem to load. I'm not sure if it's a bug, as of course, this could be a Google issue with AdSense, but other locations are fine.

    Could you add something simple to those locations like a line of text, rather than adsense, and see if those load?

    Thanks @Marc I gave that a go and it seems a very odd error.

    The particular locations which seem to be the problem are anything after the first post one (which seems to work fine, like the header, footer etc).

    I have show Ad after 4th, 8th, 11th, etc and have created different placements for each within admin. I have added 'Ad Location' just after the 4th post one as you mention to test.

    Now, it seems all the ad placements within topics show, but now ALL have the 'Ad Location' text I added, it's so strange.

    It may be set up wrong of course, and Google sees the same code over and over, as opposed to the different code on each Advert. I've also found that it seems to be a problem more on desktop, but mobile seems to be loading okay. This is the one for after 4th post and there are others for 8th, 14th, etc.

    Thanks Esther.

    You have it set to repeat an unlimited number of times. Try changing that to repeat 1.

    Thanks so much, Esther, that seems to have kicked the ads into gear again. I assume Google didn't like the repeating ad of the same code in multiple areas and wasn't serving them properly. I will put this down to that, thanks for your help and guess it's not a bug.
