If you do then it could be overridden by a theme update and in general, you should not use PHP unless you know what you are doing. * If you want to place an ad manually somewhere else then use the shortcode, e. g., `[the_ad id="3655"]` or the Advanced Ads widget or block. * Please let me know if you need anything else. * Best regards, Thomas Viewing 1 replies (of 1 total) The topic ‘Just some basic info please’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/advanced-ads/assets/icon-256x256.gif?rev=2773443) * [Advanced Ads – Ad Manager & AdSense](https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-ads/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-ads/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/advanced-ads/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/advanced-ads/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/advanced-ads/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/advanced-ads/reviews/) * 1 reply * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Thomas Maier](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webzunft/) * Last activity: [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/just-some-basic-info-please/#post-12011548) * Status: resolved
