FAQ

How to put ads on WordPress?

You can use Advanced Ads to insert ads into your WordPress site without any coding.

To get started, just take a look at

• the general first ad tutorial
• using AdSense Auto ads in WordPress
• the AdSense overview page.
• Ads not showing up? Take a look here.

What about my users’ privacy and GDPR compliance?

The plugin comes with Privacy settings that help you gather consent from users before showing ads to them. The feature works for any ads managed with the plugin, including AdSense Auto ads.

Once you enable one of the Privacy options, Advanced Ads blocks ads that need consent until it is given. You can disable that check for individual ads as well (e.g., for image ads).
You can also deliver non-personalized AdSense ads when that is legally allowed in your area.

• Cookie consent integration.
• IAB TCF 2.0 integration.

Advanced Ads itself does neither save personal information (e.g., an IP address) in your database nor cookies in the visitor’s browser.

You can learn more about how Advanced Ads and its add-ons handles data and privacy of your visitors on this page.

Which ad networks are supported?

Advanced Ads is compatible with all ad networks and banners from affiliate programs like Awin, Google AdSense, Chitika, Clickbank, CJ Affiliate, Amazon, ShareASale, Impact, Rakuten, Booking.com, GetYourGuide, media.net, and also Google Ad Manager (formerly Google DoubleClick for Publishers, DFP).

You can also use it to insert additional ad network tags into your site’s header or footer without coding to integrate header bidding.
Advanced Ads even provides a dedicated AdSense ad type to leverage this ad network’s specific options.

PHP functions and shortcodes

You can use functions and shortcodes to display ads and ad groups.

The integers in this example are the IDs of the elements.

Use these shortcodes to insert an ad or group into your post/page.

[the_ad id="24"]
[the_ad_group id="5"]

Use these functions to insert an ad or ad group into your template file.

<?php the_ad(24); ?>
<?php the_ad_group(5); ?>

In addition to directly displaying ads and groups you can define ad placements and assign either an ad or group to them.

[the_ad_placement id="header-left"]
<?php the_ad_placement('header-left'); ?>

Is there an ad revenue share?

There is no revenue sharing. Advanced Ads doesn’t alter your ad codes in a way that you earn less than you would directly including the ad code in your template. To implement revenue sharing between multiple authors, follow the instructions of this tutorial.

Can I place ads directly in my theme files?

Yes. I would add a “Manual” placement into your theme files. It would allow you to change the displayed ads or groups later without changing your code again.

Does it work with other ad plugins?

Yes. Advanced Ads can be combined with other ad plugins.
Just use their shortcodes in our “Rich Media” ad type to combine both features.
Works with AdRotate, Ad Inserter, Ad Injection, Quick AdSense, Quick AdSense Reloaded (WPQUADS), Simple Ads Manager, and other plugins.
Advanced Ads can be used along Google Site Kit or replace it if you need more control over your ad setup.

Is the plugin compatible with PHP 8?

Yes, Advanced Ads supports current PHP versions and has been successfully tested on servers running PHP 8.

Is the plugin compatible with page builders?

Yes. It works out of the box with all site builders that allow shortcodes or widgets, like Elementor, Divi, SiteOrigin, Beaver Builder, Nimble Page Builder, Pagelayer, and others.
There is also a free add-on to support the WPBakery Page Builder (formerly Visual Composer).

Will ads show up for ad block users?

Visitors who have any ad blocker (e.g., AdBlock Plus) enabled won’t see ads from known external sources (e.g., AdSense).
You can still monetize those spots with custom content.

Read more about ad blockers and the features Advanced Ads has to deal with them on this page.

Does the plugin support an ads.txt?

Google AdSense and some other networks ask you to provide an ads.txt.
Advanced Ads can create that file automatically with the correct information for AdSense, when you enable the ads.txt feature in Advanced Ads > Settings > General > ads.txt and enter your AdSense publisher ID in Advanced Ads > Settings > AdSense.

I am a developer. Can I customize the plugin?

Yes. You can use plenty of hooks to customize Advanced Ads.

Reviews

Very good plugin

That My Pet November 15, 2024 1 reply

an effective tool for bloggers

Fantastic. Just wish full version was’nt so $$$

ozzymuppet October 23, 2024 1 reply

This changed the way I do Ads on my site, finally removing AutoAds which were breaking my layouts, and being able to manually configure most with this plugin. I only wish the full version had a version that was realistically priced for small-time bloggers.

It is expensive

Chakir Mahjoubi October 3, 2024 2 replies

I cannot use the software because it will overlap with the one I have previously selected and I am working with. I visited the software website and found that everything there is against a fee and it is very expensive for me as a freelance consultant.

Extemely slow support

liathess September 19, 2024 2 replies

EDIT in 2024: Extremely slow support in 2024, pop-up ads not loading, disguise ad not working, generally not working. I am referring to the premium version of the plugin, for which i want a refund, but nobody cares to answer.

Super detailed support response

marinca August 28, 2024 1 reply
