hi all.. i have a wordpress website with 6 125x125 ad slots is there a way i can display different ads on different pages with the help of a plugin. currently there is a plugin to display same ads on all pages.. is it not possible to have different ads on diff pages with the help of plugin
I believe all your 125 ads are on the sidebar as is the case with most wordpress blogs. I dont think there is any plugins to customize that but if you want ads inside posts, then you might use manual ad insertion in advertising manager plugin. In fact, you might also be able to rotate sidebar ads too in advertising manager using the same name for that ad spot. Check out advertising manager and the rotating ads function if that helps.
If you're willing to pay for it, the most awesomest wordpress plugin on the planet for this is OIO publisher. I cannot live without it, its superior. Best $47 I've ever spent on a wordpress plugin.
Hiya James, I think it will but let me explain how I use it and then you can fill in the missing gaps of what you need to achieve so that I can work out if its going to solve your problem or not: If they are ad blocks "on the actual page", then it will solve your problem. If they are ad blocks on the page "sidebar" of the page (ie: using Widgets and/or the Sidebar.php template).. then it will still solve your problem but take a bit more time & brain power to implement at the beginning. // Ads on the Actual Page body For instance, if it's ads on the actual page, this is how I'd go about it in OIO: Go to > OIO publisher > Settings > Banner Ads And setup a "Zone" called.. um... 125 x 125 "Health Page" 1. Setup the banner price and terms for that page. 2. Add the 125 x 125 ads for that page. (HTML or Image/URL) 3. Save, and it gives you PHP output code or a Javascript output code.. for that particular "Health Page zone" ie: PHP Output Code: <?php if(function_exists('oiopub_banner_zone')) oiopub_banner_zone(1, 'center'); ?> Javascript Output Code: <script type='text/javascript' src='http://mydomain.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/oiopub-direct/js.php?type=banner&align=center&zone=1'></script> 4. Either of these codes can be placed in your "health" page and will automatically rotate if you have more than 6 ads in that "Zone", but will only rotate the health ads from that "zone" (ie: Health Ads) 5. Then you would setup another "Zone" for your "Golf Page", another for your "Hats Page".. etc.. etc.. // Ads on the Sidebar of the Page If what you are after is setting up a different "Sidebar" adslot per page, I'd probably need more time to come up with a way how, but it will still be possible.. like, just off the top of my head, I'm thinking if I needed to do it in the sidebar, that I'd still use the code as per above, but would need to call a different "sidebar" depending on the page. I'm not a programmer, but to get around my lack of code knowledge, I'd be doing it the hard way (but a programmer will know how to do this straight inside the sidebar.php I'm sure - even some of the premium themes do this already, so its definitely possible - just not sure how to do it right this second).. Anyway, for me, the non-programmer, if I wanted to achieve a different sidebar I'd be poking my nose in the template file(s) that relate(s) to the page/sidebar.php back to my computer, modifying it to be named in relation to the "Health_Page.php" "Health_Sidebar.php", etc.. "Golf_Page.php.. Golf_Sidebar.php".. and using the OIO code that way. Or if I wasn't in a rush.. I would see how the premium themes did it, by looking at their code, and then mimic what they did. In either case, I'd still be using OIO to manage my ads because it does everything for me, and I can even use the Javascript Output codes on my other websites and change it all from the one install. If you let me know exactly what you are trying to achieve (if I've missed the point), then I might be able to point you in a different direction, right now, I still see OIO as your answer..
Actually I just did a search on google for "Different Sidebar per Page" and it came up with a tonne of ideas, mostly to do with template files but this free plugin is probably exactly what you are needing: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/widget-logic/ This plugin gives every widget an extra control field called "Widget logic" that lets you control the pages that the widget will appear on. I'm downloading it now..
