Ads create white space on Twenty Twenty-three and Twenty twenty-four.

[arinoch]

Quick summary

When WordAds is active, both Twenty Twenty-Three and Twenty Twenty-four experience issues with excessive white space caused by the ad placements. Scrolling to the bottom of the page, and then back up, resolves this temporarily.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a site using either the Twenty Twenty-Four or Twenty Twenty-three theme.
2. Enable WordAds, if not already active.
3. Write, or import, test content. Or get the user's permission in 8191577-zd-a8c to borrow theirs for testing.

What you expected to happen

I expected ads to display as per normal, no white space.

What actually happened

Consistently reproduceable white space, even with the user's one plugin inactive.

Impact

Some (< 50%)

Available workarounds?

Yes, easy to implement

Platform (Simple and/or Atomic)

Atomic

Logs or notes

Turning WordAds off entirely eliminates the white spacing issue, but also eliminates the user's revenue opportunity.

📌 REPRODUCTION RESULTS

• Tested on Atomic – Uncertain
• Didn't see any ads on the user site on BrowserStack or on Proxy so couldn't see where the issue was

##Message to author##
Thanks so much for the report. I couldn't see the gap on the site, so I tried to create a simple site with WordAds but no ads appeared. Do you know if the user has provided a video perhaps or are you able to see it still?

@rickmgithub, do you have access to the interaction I linked above? The user provided a video there, and it was confirmed by myself and another HE. If you don't have access to the interaction, I can shoot you the video internally.
