Ads
-
I paid for my site, but I still see ads at the bottom of posts. http://linesofflight.co
Your prompt says: ‘We display ads sparingly on free sites to help cover costs without interfering with the browsing experience. If you would like to permanently remove ads from your site, please consider upgrading to a paid plan.’
But this is not a ‘free site.’
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I am not running an AdBlocker and I do not see ads on your site.
To off-set the costs of providing free hosting to millions of bloggers, WordPress.com has been running advertising on our free hosted blogs since 2006. If the ads you see are found at the end of blog posts then provided you see this small About These Ads link what you are seeing is WordPress.com generated advertising. http://en.wordpress.com/about-these-ads/
Any other ads appearing to you are not placed by WordPress.com. You have an issue on your browser or computer. They are being placed there by software on your own computer, unfortunately. These ads are sometimes caused by malware or a virus, but more often it is due to a browser extension or toolbar that you may have installed in your browser.
These sites have further explanation and suggestions for eliminating the ads:

I’d like to verify whether or not you purchased a Premium upgrade for this site http://linesofflight.co/ The premium upgrade does provide a No Ads upgrade in it. http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/ Simply purchasing a domain mapping upgrade does not eliminate ads. Without a premium upgrade there will be WordPress.com generated advertising. http://en.wordpress.com/about-these-ads/

Lastly, will you please try clearing your browser cache to see if the ads disappear? https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache
If they are still there please provide screenshots for Staff please. You can use http://snag.gy/ or http://cloudup.com to share screenshots and link to them here. If you use the WordPress.com guide for screenshots http://en.support.wordpress.com/make-a-screenshot/ you can and upload it to your Media Library, and return to this thread to provide the file name so Staff can examine it.

I thought I did have a premium site. I’m checking now…
Yes. I have this in an email:
Your WordPress.com Upgrade was purchased successfully.
Item: No Ads for http://wordblooddotcom.wordpress.com
Cost: $30.00That was over a year ago. Is it $30 a year?

Thanks, timethief. The “free” is for the hosting, not the template. Got it.
Correct.
Also, not that removal of the top Admin bar and/or footer credit links is a Terms of Service violation that results in blog suspension and there is no upgrade that changes that.
Terms of Service:
11. Attribution. Automattic reserves the right to display attribution links such as ‘Blog at WordPress.com,’ theme author, and font attribution in your blog footer or toolbar. Footer credits and the WordPress.com toolbar may not be altered or removed regardless of upgrades purchased. http://en.wordpress.com/tos/Custom design – Frequently Asked Questions
http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questionsMay I remove the Admin Bar, credit links such as ‘Blog at WordPress.com’, theme, font, or toolbar links?
All WordPress.com bloggers are required to maintain the Admin Bar (the dark bar that appears at the top of WordPress.com sites when logged in) as well as credit links, even our VIP bloggers. Please do not hide or alter text or links for the footer credits or the toolbar. Modifying the style of the footer text (i.e. colors and font size) is fine as long as it’s still readable. http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questionsThough removing footer credit links, which leads to the untrue assumption that you designed the theme, and that you are hosting your site yourself is not allowed under the Terms of Service, it’s possible to add your own text to the footer area using CSS, if you have purchased the Business bundle http://store.wordpress.com/plans/business/ or Premium bundle http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/ of upgrades, as they contain the Custom Design upgrade.
Then you can include styling credit if you have done any unique styling and/or you can include a copyright notice.
Please use this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform to post to the CSS Forum if you purchase the premium upgrade.
