  My grade 7 students and I have created a website to host their magazine articles. However, we have spotted several times age inappropriate sponsored content on the bottom of their published posts. How do I disable age inappropriate ads? It has been quite embarrassing with their parents and family who visit the site.

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello there,

  You can send a screenshot of the ad and the URL that the ad links to via the form at https://wordpress.com/support/about-these-ads/ if you believe it is inappropriate. 

  The team will review it and will take the necessary actions. 

  Hope this helps! :)

  Hi @amiteshg93 –

  Quick note about this. Ads that are being shown on WordPress.com can be reported directly by clicking on the three dots. That’s the best way to ask folks to report them and if more details are needed our team can follow up.

  webzinestance if you have any trouble reporting the ad, can get a screenshot of it Also, for what it’s worth, the personal plan would remove all of the banner ads:
