WP125 for ads

  • very strange I had already posted on wordpress forum but cannot locate it when I return next time?

    Installed wp125 ok. Have several ads in left sidebar. Cannot also place ads in right sidebar because their is only one widget?

    Comment on installing ads in other places is to use template tags, do the mean conditional template tags such as Is_front_page() —- Can you give an example of how to place ads other than sidebars.

    I was able to put an image in the widgets, other have default widgets. They need 125×125 sizing. It appears that I must now become an expert in creating ads — any advise here.

    It appears that this plugin does not include adding scrips to create ads as I’ve noticed is a requirement in other ads plugins. Is this correct?.

    Installing ads in other places you use: <?php wp125_write_ads(); ?> in your template files.

    If you’re using widgets instead and you’re images are not the correct size then you can define the height and width in the image code:

    <img src="https://imageurl.com/imagename.jpg" height="125" width="125" alt="image description" />

    Not sure what you mean about adding scripts?

    It seems to me that wp125 allows for inserting images only in the left sidebar. Many other ad plugins or ad services provide script ad coding which generates the ads. To use these scripts, now, it appears that I must use another plugin (which accepts scripts (sometimes called snippets) or custom fields in a text box. This is very similiar to the methods used in Atahualpa options. In fact I can see where an ads option could easily be added to the ATO.

    It is still unclear to me how <?php wp125_write_ads(); ?> would be used. Can you expand this explanation in some simple code which would also place the ad in the desired location..

    I realize this thread is kind of old but I’m having the same issue – would love to be able to use WP125 in BOTH sidebars. If I insert the php tag in the right sidebar, it just shows the same ads as the left sidebar does.

    Does anyone know how to set up a second “zone” in WP125 or is that not possible?

    Hi Laura

    Started to google wp125 again and there you were. If you were able to insert wp125 in the right sidebar just like you you did in the left sidebar you should now be able to change the url to point at a new image (ad).

    I am now concentrating on adding ads to my website and the various ways to do so. With wp125 plugin the vendors would have to provide their images (ads) Their are also text ads and ads provided by vendors using scripts. I am also concerned with accumulation of stats and revenue sharing. Can you add any words of wisdom gained in your own research.

    Hi alfieb, I ended up using the AdRotate plugin, but haven’t gotten too deep into it yet – other projects have been sucking up my time.

    But what I’m doing is having advertisers fill out a form, choose an ad size, pay for it, and then I’m creating the ad for them and putting it into the rotation. The advertisers I’m expecting to get for the site are local and not tech-savvy enough in general to submit their own ads. Don’t know if that helps you or not. ??

    Thanks for the info about WP125!
