You can also configure ads to be used in the widgets section of your WordPress dashboard.

Here I have moved over to Ad Block 2, and pasted the banner code I wish to use in my widgets area.

I will want this banner to display in the sidebar on my website.

I do not need to configure anything for this, I simply need to paste my banner code, and save my changes.

Here is the sidebar on my website, as you can see, there is no banner displaying yet.

To insert the banner in my sidebar, I need to first go to the widgets area within my WordPress dashboard.

This area is found in the "Appearance" area on the left of the WordPress dashboard.

When you access the widgets area, you will see the Ad Inserter widget listed among the first of the widgets that display in the area.

You will want to drag the ad inserter widget over to your sidebar area, and place the widget in the section where you want the banner to appear.

I want my banner to appear below the search bar, so I have placed my ad inserter widget directly under my search widget.

Once the widget is in place, you will need to click the triangle to open the widget interface.

In the Block section, you will need to select the block that you want to display, here I have selected Block 2 because that's the block I placed the banner in that I wish to display in this section of my sidebar.


Once the ad block has been properly selected, you will want to save your changes.



Here is my sidebar, with the banner displaying properly.

Good Morning,
I just installed the Ad-Inserter and wonder if you suggest anything to be changed on it from a new user just publishing their website?
I'm bombarded with info right now just trying to get started, but if a couple of things need to be changed in the settings I'll get to it.

I've installed Goggle Analytics and AdSense today so I can start tracking traffic that I want to send to CJ (or another) to join their program. I'd start with Amazon, but I'm doing Travel and I don't think that's the place to start. Any other programs out there anyone believes easier to get in.
Also Abie, I feel stupid asking, but I'm lost with how to use this messaging system to it's fullest. Is there some tutorial that goes over that?

Sorry, but what I mean about the message system is that if I want to send a private message to someone, the question line is fine but then the below info, where you want to explain further is loaded with questions and I don't know how to by-pass that and continue with my private message. Is there a book "WA Messaging for Dummies? 😂😂

Just added the plugin and I have my first ad on there and ready to go. Perfect training, step by step is the best way for me to learn to do something.
Still got lots to learn, as I want to use the manual feature for certain post. Question if I to put an add using the short code, where do I get the short code for to insert there.

Thanks so much. Great job!

Hi Coralie, the ad for the short code is under the area that you paste the HTML, click the "Manual" button.

I'm happy to know that you find this information useful!

After I clicked on the Ad Installer in the settings page, I see this screen. Where do I go from here?

Hi Maria - I'm struggling to find a plugin that works. Amazon have discontinued secret keys and the API. As I'm new to Amazon, I don't qualify for their new version API.

This plugin is also asking for it. What do I do? Any advice appreciated as I've wasted DAYS looking and trialling various plugins to no avail.

Thanks,

Chris

That was very useful, thanks. The code for native adds is still not showing. I have disabled adblocker and refreshed the pages, but hasn't helped.

It may take a day or two for the ads to show if you just installed the code.

Did you have to insert anything in your header? There's usually something to put in your header, then the actual ad code.

If you haven't put anything into your header yet, you can use this plugin to easily place it there:

Hi Chris, I'm not sure what secret keys and API has to do with anything, those are not required in order to use this plugin.

I never use the API and secret key, I just copy and paste from within the associates center.

Thanks for your help, Nathaniell. My template has no widgets in the footer, so I placed the Html in the sidebar. I have now installed the plugin and relocated it.

I will have to wait 2 days before anything shows up?

Hey Maria,

Do I understand you correctly that this plugin will allow Amazon ads to be displayed even when AdBlocker is being used in a browser?

If so, I'm definitely interested in this plugin!

Thanks... "Like'd" and tagged for sharing in the future.

I'm not sure how it works on any browsers other than Chrome. I had ad blockers installed in my Chrome, and my amazon ads show just fine for me.

I had never given that much thought to be honest, I always wondered why many sites did not use that cool carousal that Amazon gives us to use, but if it's because they are blocked in my browser, then I see why I never see them much.
