    Hi – just come across this plugin 🙂

    Is there a way to exclude posts prior to the installation date? I previously used content template to do the same thing, and don’t need previous posts to have the ads added a second time.

    Thanks!

    Try this code (enable PHP processing – top right button):

    <?php 
    $ads_since_date = '2018-01-06';
    if (get_the_date ('Y-m-d') < $ads_since_date) :?>
    
    AD CODE
    
    <?php endif; ?>

    Set $ads_since_date to a date from when the ads should be inserted.

    Of course, this code will work only inside posts and static pages.

    Hi Igor

    Thanks for the code! I’ve not had a chance to implement it before now.

    It’s not working though – the ads are appearing irrespective of post date being before or after the $ads_since_date string (which I have kept the same). I’ve also had increased ‘webpage encountered a problem and reloaded errors’ since I implemented the code. I’ve turned it off for now.

    I have automatic insertion set to ‘after content’, and ticked Posts, with no modifier.

    My bad – didn’t follow the instruction to enable php processing.

    After that it worked, with a small adjustment – get_the_date > $ads_since_date

    Great!

    Of course, ads need to be excluded for old posts.

    I would appreciate if you could write a short review:

    Thank you,
