WP Simple Adsense Insertion

Description

Use this plugin to quickly and easily insert Google Adsense to your posts, pages and sidebar by using a shortcode or calling the php function from your theme’s template file.

There are many plugins and services which can add Google Adsense to your WordPress site. However I found that even though something like Adsense Manager or Adsense Deluxe provides a lot of customizable options, it can be overwhelming and isn’t really simple enough for people who are new to WordPress.

I found that most of the time I only use two or three types of Google Adsense units in various places and posts throughout my sites.

That’s why I wrote my own Simple Adsense Insertion Plugin for WordPress, to focus on having 1-3 Google Adsense codes saved and use them where ever I want to on my site by inserting a simple shortcode text to my posts, pages and sidebar.

This plugin can also be used to automatically insert in-article ad code. If specified, the ad code is inserted after the 2nd paragraph of every posts.

It also has the ability to automatically insert adsense code at the end of every article.

You can use this plugin to store any ad code too (it doesn’t have to be just adsense code).

Usage:

There are two ways you can use this plugin:

Use the shortcodes:

  • [wp_ad_camp_1]
  • [wp_ad_camp_2]
  • [wp_ad_camp_3]
  • [wp_ad_camp_4]
  • [wp_ad_camp_5]

Call the function from template files:

  • <?php echo show_ad_camp_1(); ?>
  • <?php echo show_ad_camp_2(); ?>
  • <?php echo show_ad_camp_3(); ?>
  • <?php echo show_ad_camp_4(); ?>
  • <?php echo show_ad_camp_5(); ?>

FAQ

Does this plugin allow complex adsense management?

No.

Can I automatically insert adsense code at the end of every article?

Yes.

Can I automatically insert adsense inside every article?

Yes. You can automatically insert after after the 2nd paragraph of every article.

I am updating an older version of the plugin. Will it still work?

The method for displaying ads changed in version 1.2. The old style will continue to work in this version, but it highly suggested that you update all the adcode in your content to the new method.

An easy way to do this would be to install the find/replace plugin (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-and-replace/) and update all your old tags. Example: Find and replace it with [wp_ad_camp_1].

I need to disable the plugin to work on the site and when I do it breaks my Theme now. So I can't disable the plugin without it breaking my site! Not in a good mood right now!

I've used a lot of Advertising plugins over the past 10 years - this one is my new absolute favorite for ease of use, simplicity, and maximum control for ad placements. For most articles, the auto-insertion is perfect - for longer articles, being able to control where the ads go between paragraphs and headings using shortcodes is awesome. Thanks for a great plugin!
