• Hey guys, I’m trying to add banner ads to my wordpress site and want to know the best plugin to use for this.
    I want it in the header, footer and sidebar exactly like this site https://www.dreamdictionarynow.com has it.
    I can use a text widget for the sidebar just fine, but for the header and footer I tried to edit header.php and footer.php but can’t get it to work so I need to use a plugin. Any suggestions? I want sonething light so that is doesn’t slow down my site.

  • We don’t have official plugins for banner ads, so your best bet for plugins it to see what’s available and look at the ones with the most active installs and the highest ratings. Here are the plugins associated with banner ads in the www.ads-software.com free plugin directory: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/search.php?q=banner+ad

    However, I looked at the source code of dreamdictionarynow.com, and they are not using a plugin for banner ads, they are using Google AdSense, and have inserted the Google AdSense code into their template, rather than using a plugin.

    When you say you tried to edit the header and footer files you say it didn’t work, but didn’t say what happened exactly. Did it not let you edit the files (side note: you generally would want to create a child theme rather than editing theme files if it’s not a custom theme, because if the theme gets updated, it could overwrite your edits), or was it saving but not showing up on your site? If you can provide the steps you used and a description of what happened, it would be easier to help you troubleshoot.
