| 200 | == Frequently Asked Questions == |
| 201 | |
| 202 | = How to put ads on WordPress? = |
| 203 | |
| 204 | You can use Advanced Ads to insert ads into your WordPress site without any coding. |
| 205 | |
| 206 | To get started, just take a look at |
| 207 | |
| 208 | * the [general first ad tutorial](https://wpadvancedads.com/manual/first-ad/) |
| 209 | * using [AdSense Auto ads](https://wpadvancedads.com/adsense-auto-ads-wordpress/) in WordPress |
| 210 | * the [AdSense overview page](https://wpadvancedads.com/adsense-ads). |
| 211 | * Ads not showing up? Take a look [here](https://wpadvancedads.com/manual/ads-not-showing-up). |
| 212 | |
| 213 | = What about my users’ privacy and GDPR? = |
| 214 | |
| 215 | You can show ads only to visitors that give their consent. See [GDPR support](https://wpadvancedads.com/manual/ad-cookie-consent/). |
| 216 | |
| 217 | Advanced Ads itself does neither save personal information (e.g., an IP address) in your database nor cookies in the visitor’s browser. |
| 218 | |
| 219 | Third party services like Google Analytics are disabled by default. |
| 220 | |
| 221 | You can learn more about how Advanced Ads and its add-ons handles data and privacy of your visitors [on this page](https://wpadvancedads.com/manual/privacy-information-for-users/). |
| 222 | |
| 223 | = Which ad networks are supported? = |
| 224 | |
| 225 | Advanced Ads is compatible with all ad networks and banners from affiliate programs like Google AdSense, Chitika, Clickbank, Amazon, and also Google Ad Manager (Google Double Click, DFP), media.net. |
| 226 | |
| 227 | You can also use it to insert additional ad network tags into header or footer of your site without coding. |
| 228 | |
| 229 | AdSense has even a dedicated ad type leveling the specific options this ad network provides. |
| 230 | |
| 231 | = PHP functions and shortcodes = |
| 232 | |
| 233 | You can use functions and shortcodes to display ads and ad groups. |
| 234 | |
| 235 | The integers in this example are the IDs of the elements. |
| 236 | |
| 237 | Use these shortcodes to insert an ad or group into your post/page. |
| 238 | |
| 239 | `[the_ad id="24"]` |
| 240 | `[the_ad_group id="5"]` |
| 241 | |
| 242 | Use these functions to insert an ad or ad group into your template file. |
| 243 | |
| 244 | `<?php the_ad(24); ?>` |
| 245 | `<?php the_ad_group(5); ?>` |
| 246 | |
| 247 | In addition to directly displaying ads and groups you can define ad placements and assign either an ad or group to them. |
| 248 | |
| 249 | `[the_ad_placement id="header-left"]` |
| 250 | `<?php the_ad_placement('header-left'); ?>` |
| 251 | |
| 252 | = Is there a revenue share? = |
| 253 | |
| 254 | There is no revenue share. Advanced Ads doesn’t alter your ad codes in a way that you earn less than you would directly including the ad code in your template. |
| 255 | |
| 256 | = Can I place ads directly in my theme files? = |
| 257 | |
| 258 | Yes. I would add a "Manual" placement into your theme files. It would allow you to change the displayed ads or groups later without changing your code again. |
| 259 | |
| 260 | = Does it work with other ad plugins? = |
| 261 | |
| 262 | Yes. Advanced Ads can be combined with other ad plugins. |
| 263 | Just use their shortcodes in our "Rich Media" ad type to combine both features. |
| 264 | Works with AdRotate, Ad Inserter, Ad Injection, Quick AdSense, Quick AdSense Reloaded (WPQUADS), Simple Ads Manager, and other plugins. |
| 265 | |
| 266 | = Can I use Flash ads? = |
| 267 | |
| 268 | There is a dedicated Flash ad type in [Pro](https://wpadvancedads.com/add-ons/advanced-ads-pro/). |
| 269 | |
| 270 | = Is the plugin compatible with page builders? = |
| 271 | |
| 272 | Yes. It works out of the box with all site builders that allow shortcodes or widgets, like Elementor, SiteOrigin, Beaver Builder, WPBakery Page Builder (formerly Visual Composer), [Nimble Page Builder](https://wordpress.org/plugins/nimble-builder/), and others. |
| 273 | There is also a [free add-on to support the WPBakery Page Builder (formerly Visual Composer)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ads-for-visual-composer/). |
| 274 | |
| 275 | = Will ads show up for ad block users? = |
| 276 | |
| 277 | Visitors who have any ad blocker (e.g., AdBlock Plus) enabled won’t see ads from known external sources (e.g., AdSense). |
| 278 | You can still monetize those spots with custom content. |
| 279 | |
| 280 | Read more about ad blockers and the features Advanced Ads has to deal with them [on this page](https://wpadvancedads.com/manual/ad-blockers/). |
| 281 | |
| 282 | = Does the plugin support an ads.txt? = |
| 283 | |
| 284 | Google AdSense and some other networks ask you to provide an ads.txt. |
| 285 | Advanced Ads can create that file automatically with the correct information for AdSense, when you enable the ads.txt feature in Advanced Ads > Settings > General > ads.txt and enter your AdSense publisher ID in Advanced Ads > Settings > AdSense. |
| 286 | |
| 287 | = I am a developer. Can I customize the plugin? = |
| 288 | |
| 289 | Yes. Advanced Ads is based on WordPress standards and therefore easily customizable using either WordPress hooks or the ones we defined [here](https://wpadvancedads.com/codex/). |
| 290 | |
| 291 | == Screenshots == |
| 292 | |
| 293 | 1. Placements that let you inject ads anywhere into your site without coding (7 in Advanced Ads + 14 through add-ons). |
| 294 | 2. Support for all kinds of ad types, including dedicated AdSense type. AMP is included in the Responsive add-on. |
