• This is my first wordpress site, and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to access the 3 ads windows on the right hand side of the page. Heck I don’t even know if “windows” is the correct term for them!! haha anyways my website is https://www.mysitarmusic.org are those three windows supposed to be widgets? because if they are I can’t access them through my widgets manager!!

  • What files do you have in your template directory?

    Go to Appearance -> Editor

    On the right side what do you have?

    Do you have a sidebar.php and is the code in there?

    If not some templates use ads.php or something similar.

    I have an ads.php page the code reads like this

    <div id="sad">
        <ul>
            <li class="sad_margin"><img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/ads.jpg" alt="ads" /></li>
            <li class="sad_margin"><img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/ads.jpg" alt="ads" /></li>
            <li><img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/ads.jpg" alt="ads" /></li>
        </ul>
    </div>

    do I copy and paste the code from say google ads, or amazon.com into here? and if so where in the code do I paste it?? thanks for your help on this!!

    You can paste between these

    <div id="sad">
    
    </div>

    But your CSS has a specific height and width. So if your ads you paste in there are bigger then you might have to edit style.css to make the changes for dimensions.

    #sad {
    height:125px;
    margin:15px 0;
    padding:0;
    width:390px;
    }

    would I copy over the <li class="sad_margin"><img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/ads.jpg" alt="ads" /></li> or would I copy before the `<ul>
    ` and how would I denote which window it would go in? once again thanks so much for your assistance on this. It is just so technical when you start gettting into coding!! (as I’m sure you can relate haha)

    Yes copy over so you will have

    <div id="sad">
    Your ad code here
    </div>

    It wont go in any window. You said Adsense or Amazon code and I know that doesnt fit in that window so it would actually replace that whole block of 3 ad spots.

    If you wanted to put 3 individual ads then you needs to do something different and all the images need to be the same size as the default ad pictures now.

    Hmmm maybe I can clarify… the windows are set up to use 125×125 boxes, if I wanted to try and use all three boxes is there a way I could do that? would i make 3 different ads.php files? or maybe `<div id=”sad”>
    <Your ad code here #1> <Your ad code here #2> <Your ad code here#3>
    </div>`

    There are a couple of widgets on amazon.com associates that support 125×125 boxes and adsense has one as well I was hoping to use those

    I don’t know if you solved your problem yet, but I had the exact same problem. The ads go in the ads.php section. Don’t try to up them in sidebar.php.

    All you have to do is copy your adsense code into ads.php. Just make sure the ads are 125×125. It will automatically fill in the preset boxes. You will need to delete the jpg files that are currently filling the boxes. Also, if you add more than 3 125×125 ads, it simply wraps around and starts a new row. This is a really great feature because it allows you to add more ads.

    Take a look at my new blog at MMAChalet.com, and you will see what I did.

    Hope this helps.
