New to Wordpress themes - how do I add my affiliate ad to theme?

Hello and Happy New Year. I am relatively new to Wordpress, and just installed a theme that is ready made for 468 & 125 affiliate ads. I have looked all over, but can't quite figure out how to add the code to install my affiliate ads. Is there a plugin that I need? Do I need to do something with the widgets? Please help ASAP...my sanity begs you.

 

Look in design, and then go to theme editor. Look at the pages it has listed and then look for something that says "ADS".php.... or similar. You should be able to edit it right inside the box.

 

Well you can try this plugins;

1) WPAds - setup all your ads in one control panel and just ambed the short code any place you wnat, that includes posts, pages or even the template itself

2) MaxBlogpress-stripe-ad - add top panel bar that carries message that you can use for ads..

Check it out..

 

You have to edit wordpress code and insert or just insert banner code in to the blog post

 

Thanks to everybody for your help. I am into the theme editor, and have the html that I want to enter. There is no area that says ads.php...maybe sidebar? Anyway, once I get in there, where do I paste the code? I don't see any html - just php code...

 

You need to understand the html & php structure of that theme before you could add anything to it.. can't do much without seing the actual script though..

 

Yeah you can place ads on sidebar

 

thank you kind of the cash - I guess my question is where do I put the html once I open up sidebar.php? Sorry...Wordpress rookie here

 

The siderbar is different on each template if you can post here your sidebar code we can help you to add if you still having that problem

 

Thanks kind of the cash and everybody else. Here is the sidebar.php code:

<div id="sidebarbg1">
<div class="ads125">
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')|| !dynamic_sidebar('ads125_1') ) : ?>

<?php endif; ?>
</div><div class="ads125hspacer"></div>
<div class="ads125">
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')|| !dynamic_sidebar('ads125_2') ) : ?>

<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<div class="ads125vspacer"></div>
<div class="ads125">
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')|| !dynamic_sidebar('ads125_3') ) : ?>

<?php endif; ?>
</div><div class="ads125hspacer"></div>
<div class="ads125">
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')|| !dynamic_sidebar('ads125_4') ) : ?>

<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
<div class="sidebara">
<div id="sidebar">
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')|| !dynamic_sidebar('sidebar_main') ) : ?>
<ul>
<li id="search"><h2>Search</h2>
<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?>
</li>
<li><h2><?php _e('Categories'); ?></h2>
<ul>
<?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&hierarchical=5'); ?>
</ul>
</li>
<li><h2><?php _e('Archives'); ?></h2>
<ul>
<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>
</ul>
</li>
<?php get_links_list(); ?>
<li><h2><?php _e('Meta'); ?></h2>
<ul>
<?php wp_register(); ?>
<li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>
<?php wp_meta(); ?>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>

For put ad on 125 X 125 banner replace this code

<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')|| !dynamic_sidebar('ads125_1') ) : ?>

<?php endif; ?>

PHP:

with your banner html code and please post here result

 

Sorry...I am in the dark when it comes to php. Am I replacing the functions exists, or the parts that are in red?

 

Can you just pm me your ad code with wordpress admin user and pass ? I'll just do it for you

 

Thanks to everyone for your help. I have figured out how to change the sidebar ads, but cannot seem to change the 160 x 600 ad next to the sidebar. Any suggestions?
