@alchymyth…sorry to ask this but how do you “wrap the ad code into a div” since you ultimately suggest it for formatting reasons? Unfortunately, I am not a coder and am not familiar with it but can try with direction.

@alchymyth…thanks for your reponse, however it placed the ad righ on top of the “Latest Articles” list rather than directly below the list. I tried placing the code in a few other places within index.php but close to the area you recommend but also did not work. Any other suggestions?

@jnhghy…unfortunately it is not the sidebar. I actually have installed a widget but the sidebar appears everywhere within my site EXCEPT the homepage. That is why I have only one ad on the homepage where I have more throughout the site. I know I more than likely need to place a code somewhere within css but don’t know what the code would be (outside of the ad code) and where exactly I would need to place it. Would you or anyone else know?

Thx in advance…

Andrew…its weird, it actually went away. Not sure how. I had saved and refreshed several times last night and now have noticed the large blank areas are now filled. Thank you though!

@premiumwp…the search box placement is actually a defualt from the theme. If I were to change the placement, where would you suggest would be a good spot? Since I am pretty novice with all this still, would you be able to please tell me how to move it?

Any other feedback from anyone? Any other feedback from anyone on the background color?

Great idea with adding texture. I am pretty new to all of this. I downloaded a texture from subtlepatterns that you had suggested for lewguru. But how do I actually uploaded into my current theme?

@alchymyth

I finally had a chance to give it a shot…and it worked. Thank you!

@alchymyth

Does it matter where I place the div within the ad code? Beginning or end of the code? Where in style.css do I place the text align code?

@alchymyth

I placed a “skyscraper” below that line in hopes that it would fill the gap to the right of the articles but it didn’t quite work. However, I was able to place a “leaderboard” in between the the two bodies. But it is not centered. The code I inserted is below. Would you guys know the code i can type in to center it on the page? If so, where do I insert it within the code? youandthekids.com

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "ca-pub-6461945321126128";
/* leaderboard 728x90 */
google_ad_slot = "4346136366";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;

You are right again…and thanks again!

Theme is Creativix, would you know by chance which php I can try to put the ad code in and in between? I do not see a home.php. This is the list I see:

404 Template
(404.php)
Archives
(archive.php)
Comments
(comments.php)
Footer
(footer.php)
Theme Functions
(functions.php)
Header
(header.php)
Main Index Template
(index.php)
Page Template
(page.php)
breadcrumb.php
wp-pagenavi.php
Search Results
(search.php)
Sidebar
(sidebar.php)
single-myportfolio.php
Single Post
(single.php)
style.php
taxonomy-portfolio.php
Blog Page Template
(tpl_blog.php)
No Sidebar Page Template
(tpl_page_nosidebar.php)
Portfolio Page Template
(tpl_portfolio.php)

@keesiemeijer

Thank you so much! That worked perfectly. There is now a large space to the right of the articles and above the list of latest articles. By chance, would you know which php I can paste an ad code to fill this spacing? Would it still be within index.php? Can I bring the “latest articles” section up to the top or will it have to stay in the bottom?

@potentweb…thanks so much for your help!

@potentweb

Will it stay there permenantly if i were to place it on the main file? If I want the ad placed directly below the slide and another directly below the articles, how do I code it that way with the preset code that I get from the ad supplier?

Andrew and Potentweb: To be honest with you, I am not sure how to create a child theme. If I were to make these changes in the css, is it likely for it to revert after an update? And are you referring to WP updates or Creativix updates, both?
