Infovarious Table No Auto Ads

Google AdSense “ad intents” can turn words inside your content into links, or show chips, that open a dialog with related ads. When this happens inside a table, the result can overlap or break the layout of the table.

Google documents a class named google-anno-skip that excludes a section of a page from ad intents. This plugin adds that class for you: it automatically wraps every table in your post content with a div element, so you do not have to edit each post by hand.

What it does

• Wraps each table in post content with <div class="no-auto-ads google-anno-skip">.
• Handles nested tables (only the outermost table is wrapped).
• Leaves a table alone if it is already wrapped by an element that has the google-anno-skip class.
• Does not run in the admin area, in feeds, or in embeds.
• Has no settings screen, loads no scripts or styles, makes no external requests and stores no data.

What it does not do

• It does not guarantee that no ads will ever appear near a table. It only adds the exclusion class documented by Google for ad intents. Other ad formats (for example in-page auto ads) are controlled in your AdSense account.
• It does not change your AdSense account or settings.
• It only affects content output through the the_content filter. Tables printed by a theme template outside the post content are not changed.

Customization

You can change the class names with the tnaa_wrapper_class filter. Keep google-anno-skip in the list, otherwise AdSense will not exclude the area.

add_filter( 'tnaa_wrapper_class', function ( $classes ) { return $classes . ' my-extra-class'; } );
