 * Hi, I installed a fresh copy of WordPress on a new subdomain and found a bunch
   of ads in the header tag of the 2023 theme using the inspector. So I installed
   a new WordPress site on my laptop with xampp – same thing. Anyone know why this
   is happening and how can I get rid of it? 
   Thanks in advance

 * What are these “bunch of ads”? Can you provide a screenshot to help us understand
   what you’re seeing?
 * I checked the link you provided, and I don’t see any ads at all. I even inspected
   the HTML code behind the page, and I didn’t see any signs of any ads at all.

 * Your Google Drive link is private, so no one here can see it.
 * Either make it public, or better yet, upload the screenshot to a public space
   like [https://snipboard.io/](https://snipboard.io/) and share the link here.
