FAQ

How do I display an ad?

Use the shortcode [itea_adserver zone="your-zone-slug"] in any post or page. To find the zone slug, go to Iteearmah Ad Rotation and Analytics > Ad Zones.

How do I track statistics?

Statistics for each ad are displayed in the “Ad Statistics” meta box when editing an ad, as well as in the main Ads list view.

How do I use Ad Zones?

Go to Iteearmah Ad Rotation and Analytics > Ad Zones and create a new zone (e.g., “Sidebar”).
Note the Slug of the zone you created.
Edit an advertisement and select the zone from the Ad Zones box on the right.
Use the shortcode [itea_adserver zone="sidebar"] (replace “sidebar” with your slug) to display ads from that zone.
You can also use <div id="itea-ad-sidebar"></div><script src="https://your-site.com/?itea_ad_serve=1&zone=sidebar&uid=itea-ad-sidebar" async></script> for remote placement.

Does this plugin require any external services?

No. Geo-targeting relies on server-provided HTTP headers (e.g., HTTP_X_COUNTRY_CODE) typically set by your hosting provider or a CDN like Cloudflare. No external API calls are made.

What happens if Secure Custom Fields is not installed?

An admin notice will be displayed prompting you to install the required plugin. Core ad management features will not function without it.
