  • Hi dang61,
    You will need to put the custom codes in here:
    wpadverts/includes/defaults.php
    You might want to create a child for that if your thinking about updates.
    Cheers.

    Do NOT put additional code in wpadverts directory as this will be overwritten on update, you should either:
    – put the code in your current theme functions.php file (although this can be also overwritten when updating the theme)
    – create a new plugin and paste the code there https://ditio.net/2007/08/09/how-to-create-wordpress-plugin-from-a-scratch/

    The second solution is a bit more complex, but i recommend using it as this is how you should properly extend WordPress plugins.

    Basically what you need to do is:
    – create a file my-custom-codes.php
    – paste a plugin header at the top

    <?php
    /*
    Plugin Name: My Custom Codes
    Plugin URI: https://example.com
    Description: Codes which extend WPAdverts
    Author: Greg
    Version: 1.0
    */

    – below the plugin header paste code WPAdverts documentation.
    – upload this file to wp-content/plugins/ directory
    – from wp-admin / Plugins panel activate the “My Custom Codes” plugin.

    You should NOT change any files in wpadverts directory as this will be overwritten when the plugin is updated.

    You should either:
    – paste the code in your current theme functions.php file (although this can be overwritten on update as well)
    – create a new plugin and add code from Custom Fields document there

    Creating a plugin is more difficult but also more reliable and actually this is a proper way to extend any other plugin.

    What you would need to do is the following
    1. create a file and name it my-custom-codes.php
    2. add a plugin header to this file

    <?php
    /*
    Plugin Name: My Custom Codes
    Plugin URI: https://example.com/
    Description: Plugin extends WPAdverts functionality.
    Author: Greg
    Version: 1.0
    */

    3. below the header add code from WPAdverts documentation.
    4. upload the file to wp-content/plugins directory
    5. from wp-admin / Plugins panel activate “My Custom Codes” plugin.
