## Description
Addexion is an advertising network for African websites. Advertisers target sites
by country, language and topic; publishers earn a share of every billed impression
or click.
This plugin connects your WordPress site to your Addexion publisher account and
displays the ads of your ad slots, without editing your theme:
* **Shortcode** – `[addexion slot="YOUR_TOKEN"]` in any post, page or text widget.
* **Widget** – “Addexion Ad” in Appearance Widgets.
* **Elementor widget** – search for “Addexion Ad” in the Elementor panel.
* **Automatic placement** – at the top of every page, inside posts (before or after
the content) and in the footer.
Ads are loaded asynchronously and do not slow down the display of your pages. Only
ads approved by the Addexion team, and matching your site’s topic, country and language,
are displayed.
An Addexion publisher account is required (free): [addexion.com/publishers](https://addexion.com/publishers).
### External services
This plugin relies on the Addexion advertising service (https://addexion.com), operated
by Addexion, to choose and display ads and to count impressions and clicks. It cannot
work without it.
* **When:** every time a visitor views a page containing an Addexion ad slot, and
every time they click on an ad.
* **Requests sent from the visitor’s browser to addexion.com:**
- `/api/serve` – to get the ad to display. Sends the ad slot token, the address
of the current page without its query string (to show the publisher where
the slot is installed) and, as with any web request, the visitor’s IP address,
browser user agent and the page origin (Origin / Referer header).
- `/api/track/impression` – when the ad is displayed. Sends the ad slot token,
the ad ID, a tracking token issued by `/api/serve`, the IP address and the
user agent.
- `/api/track/click` – when the visitor clicks on the ad, before redirecting
them to the advertiser’s site. Sends the ad slot token, the ad ID, a tracking
token issued by `/api/serve`, the IP address and the user agent.
* **Why:** to select an ad suited to the site, to bill advertisers and pay publishers,
and to prevent fraud (repeated impressions or clicks from the same IP address,
blocked IP addresses).
* **Stored data:** Addexion stores the IP address and user agent attached to each
impression and click. No cookie is set by the plugin.
The site ID entered in the plugin settings is written in the pages of your site (
in a `` tag) so that Addexion can check that the site
belongs to your account.

## Installation
1. Create a free publisher account on [addexion.com](https://addexion.com/publishers)
and declare your site. Once approved, create one or more ad slots.
2. In WordPress, go to Plugins Add New, search for “Addexion Ads”, then install and
activate the plugin (or upload the zip file with Plugins Add New Upload Plugin).
3. Go to Settings Addexion Ads and paste your **site ID** (shown on your site page
in your Addexion dashboard).
4. Place your ads: enable an automatic placement in Settings Addexion Ads and paste
the token of an ad slot, or use the shortcode, the widget or the Elementor widget.
## FAQ
### Where do I find my site ID and my ad slot tokens?
In your Addexion publisher dashboard: My sites your site. The site ID is shown
under the embed code, and each ad slot has its own token.
### No ad is displayed. Why?
Check that your site and your ad slot are approved and active in your Addexion dashboard,
and that the token is correct. An ad is only displayed when an advertiser’s campaign
matches your site (format, topic, country, language); if none matches, the slot
stays hidden.
### Does it work with caching plugins?
Yes. Ads are loaded in the visitor’s browser, so cached pages still show fresh ads.
After changing the site ID, clear your cache so that the new `` tag appears
in your pages.
### Does the plugin set cookies?
No. See “External services” for the data sent to Addexion.
