About WP AdPosts by Kader Bouyakoub
From the official readme · v1.3.0Description
WP AdPosts plugin allows you to create ads using codes or images and provides views and clicks counters, as well as locations management. You can even use the provided shortcode to insert ads into posts and pages.
Manage Ads
You have two ways of creating ads:
- By uploading featured images only and provided ads links.
- By pasting ads codes (JavaScript) or full HTML.
Note: If you use full HTML, it is better to enter your ads links into the “Ad Link” field.
In order to display an ad on your front-end, you can use the provided php function on your theme’s files like so:
Location here stands for the created location’s slug. So if you created a Header location, it may have the header slug, so you do:
WP AdPosts enabled shortcodes on text widgets, so you can as well use a text widget in which you can use this provided shortcode like so:
[wp-adposts location=”header”]
Using the location, as an argument for the function or an attribute for the shortcode, will display a single randomly picked ad to which it was assigned.
As of version 1.3.0, it is possible to display a specific ad by its ID, passed to the php function in your theme’s files like so:
Or used as shortcode attributes like the example below:
[wp-adposts ad=”123″]
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:
- To display an ad by its ID, make sure to assign a location to it in order to display it with the selected dimensions. Ads with no locations assigned will not be displayed.
- Priority is to ad ID. So if you use both attributes in the shortcode, the ad will be used. If the ad is not found, even if the location exists and has ads assign to it, nothing will be displayed.
Manage Locations
They are much more like “sizes” limitations. A location can have a specified ads sizes so that ads will be contained in them. For instance, if a location has 728 pixles by 90 pixels (728×90), anything that is beyond that is simply hidden.
Views and Clicks Counters
You will see on ads management page views and clicks counters. These are useful to keep an eye on your ads.

/wp-content/plugins/wp-adpostsdirectory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
