Creativix Theme: Placing ads on the frontpage

Please can you answer this question
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/creativix-theme-want-to-underline-when-hovering-over-a-link?replies=2
On both this and that thread?

There is no HTML page, you have a php pages intermixed with php and html. Some html is already there and others will be generated by php. If you targeting just the frontpage, look for home.php

Again you can create a child theme or you can risk can just change the main file.

@potentweb

Will it stay there permenantly if i were to place it on the main file? If I want the ad placed directly below the slide and another directly below the articles, how do I code it that way with the preset code that I get from the ad supplier?

It will stay there as long as you ethier create a child theme or do not update your theme. Can’t tell you where to put it since I don’t know what your theme is nor can I see your code.

@potentweb

Theme is Creativix, would you know by chance which php I can try to put the ad code in and in between? I do not see a home.php. This is the list I see:

404 Template
(404.php)
Archives
(archive.php)
Comments
(comments.php)
Footer
(footer.php)
Theme Functions
(functions.php)
Header
(header.php)
Main Index Template
(index.php)
Page Template
(page.php)
breadcrumb.php
wp-pagenavi.php
Search Results
(search.php)
Sidebar
(sidebar.php)
single-myportfolio.php
Single Post
(single.php)
style.php
taxonomy-portfolio.php
Blog Page Template
(tpl_blog.php)
No Sidebar Page Template
(tpl_page_nosidebar.php)
Portfolio Page Template
(tpl_portfolio.php)

index.php

try to add the bottom adsense block before this line in index.php:

<?php get_footer(); ?>

@alchymyth

I placed a “skyscraper” below that line in hopes that it would fill the gap to the right of the articles but it didn’t quite work. However, I was able to place a “leaderboard” in between the the two bodies. But it is not centered. The code I inserted is below. Would you guys know the code i can type in to center it on the page? If so, where do I insert it within the code? youandthekids.com

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "ca-pub-6461945321126128";
/* leaderboard 728x90 */
google_ad_slot = "4346136366";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>

the code i can type in to center it on the page

one possibility is to wrap the adsense code into a div;

example:

<div class="ads">
ADSENSE CODE HERE
</div>

and add in style.css:

.ads { text-align: center; }

@alchymyth

Does it matter where I place the div within the ad code? Beginning or end of the code? Where in style.css do I place the text align code?

Does it matter where I place the div within the ad code?

yes – look at the example; the div wraps around the adcode.

the location in style.css does not matter, as this is a new css class.

@alchymyth

I finally had a chance to give it a shot…and it worked. Thank you!
