You probably need to deactivate Easy Adsense. Easy usually means inflexible. If it was easy to move the ad, you would have found the way already ?? I really dislike how it inserts ads above the initial html tag — it’s technically invalid HTML even though it works. Deactivation should remove the current ad. Placing ads do not require a plugin. Doing so manually may not be as easy, but it’s infinitely flexible!
You can place your ads anywhere on your site that accepts HTML without filtering, but you do need to comply with the ad’s size parameters. If your sidebar meets size requirements, try placing your ad code in a plain text widget. A long shot but worth a try.
If that fails, place the code on the sidebar template. Be sure it’s inserted outside of any PHP code. The call to dynamic_sidebar() is what outputs the widgets, so the code should be above or below this depending on where it should appear in relation to other widgets.
When you edit theme templates, it’s best to create a child theme to contain your altered templates so they are protected when the theme updates.
