so simple, so easy, so useful !!!

Thanks

If you have any trouble with it, let me know and I’ll be glad to help.

I’m a total nubie in wordpress. Do you by any chance have a ready to download prosense template that has an adsense ad block in the top left corner similar to yours? Have tried things discussed above and can’t really make that ad block appear! Just a thought… I suppose this will be a very big help to a lot of your subscribers.. Thanks!

Let me know if you have any more problems.

There’s another way if that doesn’t do it for you posted a few comments up… http://www.wahguide.com/2008/11/technical/how-to-insert-adsense-into-wordpress-post/#comment-26554

pub-2286xxxxxxxxxxxx

I assumed that it was my adsense id pub number that went in there

I am new to all this coding and may have got it wrong

Be glad of any redirections as would love to have this google ad systen in this spot as everyone recommends it as the winning place on the post or page

How to Set Up Single Post and Category Specific Templates in Wordpress

It’s not so easy to “simplify” something so complex, hehe, but I tried!!

Hope that helps!

Thanks for reverting so quickly. I read the two links you suggested but it means nothing to me – LOL. I am a total IT retard I’m just going to wait for you to write your ’simplified’ post on this topic, because I understood your other posts. Thanks again!

The only way I can think to do that is to create a new category for the posts you don’t want the adsense on and use a different template for that or those categories. I do this on some sites to rotate different types of banners according to the category.

I’ve been meaning to write up a simplified post on how to do that but haven’t gotten to it yet. Meanwhile, you can get some more info on that here, http://codex.wordpress.org/Category_Templates and here, http://justintadlock.com/archives/2008/12/06/creating-single-post-templates-in-wordpress

Good luck

Are you able to insert the adsense code into some individual posts but not all? I can do it site wide i.e. every single post has adsense, but I want adsense only on some of my posts. Thanks in advance

If you still have trouble, reply with a link to download yours and I’ll look at your single.php and the adsense code page (I won’t publish the comment).

If you’re using prosense,just paste…

<?php include(‘adsense_singlepost_top_square.php’) ?>

into single.php directly above <?php the_content(’Read the rest of this entry »’); ?>

Check adsense_singlepost_top_square.php and make sure that it looks like this…

<div id=”adsense_singlepost_top_square”>
YOUR ADSENSE CODE
</div>

Then check your stylesheet, style.css for…

#adsense_singlepost_top_square {
float: left;
margin-right: 10px;
}

If it’s not there, add it.

Let me know!

If I go in “Appearance” and then to “Editor” in Wordpress, and go to the right side “theme files” I find “single post (single.php) but below that there are several adsense_singlepost_entries and the one that I sent you previously was from adsense_singlepost_top-square.php. Is that the one I replace?

I am still a little confused about the exact entry. If I take the entry from your web page and just put in my adsense code where you have it in Red, and I don’t add or delete anything else, Is that the exact entry that I need?

Thanks, Ken

Just copy everything from these files before you make any changes, that way if something doesn’t work, you can just paste back in to restore to original.

Pasting the code in single.php directly below < \div id="content"\> should place it at the top of the page like you see on this page. (edit: had to add \ to the div tag above because it messed the post up)

Pasting adsense code right above < ?php endwhile; else: ?> should place it under the post, like you see on this page.

Alternatively, you can create seperate text files for each ad size, upload them in your themes folder and include them in the page by pasting < ?php include('adsense_250x250.php') ?> into the template files instead of the entire code.

You might also find something useful in this post, http://www.wahguide.com/2008/12/technical/how-to-add-banner-rotation-to-your-wordpress-blog/

If you have any trouble, let me know and I’ll be happy to help any way I can.

Read the rest of this entry »‘); ?> (verify the adsense_singlepost_top_square.php is the 250×250 ad and replace if necessary being sure not to remove the div tag, < \div id="adsense_singlepost_top_square"\>. It should be but I can’t remember if the default for that was 250×250 or if I changed it.)

If you have any problems with it, let me know.

Edit: sorry, I had to add some \ so that it wouldn’t mess this post up.

Sorry you are having a problem. I will put together a short video when I get a chance. Meanwhile, where are you getting stuck at? I’ll try and help you.
