Adsense in wordpress sidebar

Tried about 3 different adsense manager things now and none of them work correctly.

Might be the new upgrade or might just be I'm an idiot

Can somebody link me up to an adsense plugin for the sidebar please?

 

I'm thinking the latter might be the case. Have you a widget ready wordpress blog? What's the site?

 

I've got one working on Captain Quads (really should update that more) and I used the same one on Lolcat pictures and I get the following error
Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in /home/lolcat/public_html/wp-content/plugins/widgets/adsense.php on line 50

Now obviously it's just the default theme that's up just now but I have changed it to various others, including the one on CaptainQuads.com and it's not helped, I get the same error.

Any thoughts?

 

open from presentation->theme editor the file sidebar.php and insert the code manually before 'blogroll' or wherever you want it to show and don't forget to click update file ...

 

Editing your theme isn't that hard, all you have to do is update the sidebar.php file in your theme's folder. You can do it like xxMirceaxx said if your permissions allow you to, or you can go to the file download it, edit it, and overwrite it. It will be in wp-content>themes>'your theme name'>sidebar.php.

 

I create a seperate file called say ads1.php and then in the sidebar.php where I want the ad to show I would put

<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/ads1.php'); ?>

 

Either of those methods work fine. I prefer using includes, but with adsense you can make the changes to the ad within adsense, so there isn't a huge reason to use includes, unless you have a ton of unique pages using the same code, then you can just change them faster using an include.

 

I just edited the sidebar in my theme, didn't take long at all.

 

If you use widgets it's a pain to just update the sidebar though. What adsense managers have you tried?
