Hey everyone,
I have a theme that came with pre-existing 125x125 ad slots as well as a horizontal ad unit slot on the top of the blog, see here:
http://www.corusa.com/
Now, I have Adsense-manager installed, but when I go to ad my ad to the widget bar, it creates a new slot underneath the 4 already esiting ones....I need it to use those slots. Also, I only wasnt 3 on a page, so I want to use the top horizontal ad and two of the 125x125 boxes, and delete the other two 125x125 boxes
So, how do I use the pre-existing ad slots?
THANKS
on my theme, I had to manually insert the code for the pre-defined ad slot (my theme only had one). Then I used the Adsense widget to add more adsense code dynamically in my between my posts. Interestingly enough, I set the Adsense widget to a limit of 3 ad units - and it counts the pre-defined one that is in the header.
I think you will have to edit your theme files to remove the unwanted pre-defined areas.

is there a way to delete the 125x125 pre-set slots altogether? and just use the widgets you manually add?
i'd like to do that, except for the top banner...i need to know what code to change to put a AdSense ad there.
on my theme, I just edited the header.php file. In your theme header.php file, locate this
<img src="http://corusa.com/blog/wp-content/themes/Choc/images/!ban.gif" alt="banner" />
and replace it with the code you get from your google adsense account for a 468x60 banner ad. The theme lists it as a 480x60 ad, but adsense will provide 468x60, so it will leave you some spacing.

i tried replacing that EXACT text you told me to replace for the banner with the google adsense text, but now I get a banner that says "page not found"
whats the deal? i made sure that i did not paste of anything that you didnt tell me do. i replaced the exact text you typed

that's "< a href = # >" code...forgot to put spaces in my last post, so it translated it as html, lol
yes, you are correct about removing the a href stuff - my mistake to not include that.
When I first did mine, I also got the page not found thing - I let it go while I worked on other changes and the problem worked itself out, so I never spent any time trying to figure out what was going on.
I just looked at your site - I see 2 ads - one 468x60 at the top, and a 125x125 (or so) underneath the 4 predefined slots.

i check for the 125x125 one, in index.php, there is no ad code in there at all. what page contains the 125x125 preset code? because it isnt in sidebar.php eiher.
I don't know for sure - I just figured it was in the index.php file since the CSS div is "body_right". you will need to dig around a bit.
Don't you think the 125 one that is displaying is probably added by your Adsense manager widget thing-a-ma-jig?
