How to put an image ad instead of ad sense on single post (single.php)?

14 years ago

You might find it easier to upload it to your media gallery and grab the image's URL straight from there. Wordpress's image gallery will give you the direct URL to the image - then you can paste that in.

Thanks again for your suggestion. It turns out I was not entering the correct path to the image. I did as you suggested and now its working.

However, I can not get the image to align to the left! I used the alignleft code, but it still shows on the right side! Any ideas?
Thank you all for your help. I really appreciate it.

Thanks

What align code are you using exactly. Ar you using the align code that is added to the image or are you adding the align code to align the entire image. Example <left>image and link code</left> or are you using the align with in the image string it self. imageurl align="left"

But its not working. When I load the page in firefox, For a second I can see the 254 x 255 box with no image, but when it loads, there is nothing there. Even the space where the ads supposed to show up, isn't there. Meaning the post content moved up a few lines.

Can anyone help me solve this mystery? I would appreciate any help.
I am hoping Istvan or Bill are around, I am sure you guys know what the problem is. Thank you all in advance.

You might try the max blog press banner plugin I use this on my affiliate marketing site and it works rather well. If you made a deal on a certain ammount of impressions it tracs the impressions for you so once those impressions are done you can remove it and put back up your adsense code.

It depends on your theme. How is the ad slot defined? is it a DIV? Plus how do you insert the AdSense code into place?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but...

Are you running any sort of ad blocking plugin?

Thanks for the suggestion. I will give it a try. Hopefully it will work.

I am trying to not use too many plug-ins on the blog, because obviously it slows down the load time, plus I kind of like learning these things as I go along, instead of just downloading a plugin and never figuring out how to actually perform the action. But, if nothing works, I guess I might have to. Thank you for the suggestion.

Yes, its a DIV. I simply insert the ad sense code between <DIV> </DIV>

No, not at all, its actually a good reminder, since we often over look the simplest of things. But, no I am not using any ad blocking plugin. Thanks for the heads up any way.

OK, you might want to call the image in the css and then hook the link (target URI) in the normal place where you'd place the AdSense code.

You could always delete it from your post and just click the Media icon again and this time be sure to select "align right" (assuming you didn't before).

If that doesn't work, then like zulfnore says, you can use CSS to align the image.

Also, and this is not a major thing, but I'd avoid using all caps with your html, such as DIV or IMG SRC unless you're using html 4.0. If you have a new(ish) install of Worpdress then try to stick to xhtml standards or your site won't validate.

Not a huge thing but I do think Google appreciates sites that use valid code. Anyway, just thought I'd mention it

I believe I am using the second one. Here is the exact code I am using:

<a href="link.com" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft" title="link.com" src="link.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/ads.png" alt="link" width="254" height="255" /></a>
</div>

However, after reading your post here, I tried it the other way as well, but it still comes up to the right.

Thanks for your help. I am not really familiar with css coding. I know a tiny bit. What code would I use and where in Css file should it be placed? Thank you.

Thanks for your reply. But the image isn't in the post. Its above where the post content goes. So its in a totally different section (div or whatever its called).

Thanks

Try adding this at the beginning <p style="text-align: center;"> before <a href =xxxxx

with a closing </p> at the very end

I usually use this code:

<div style="border: none; margin: 3px; float: left;"></div>

when I put an add in the single post, usually works well.

  Are you trying to wrap the content around the image? If so put this just after the opening <p>
  
  <div style="display:block;float:left;margin: 10px 5px 5px 10px;"><a href="yourlink" target="_blank"><img src="yourlink" /></a></div>
  
  If you want it to sit above the content then try this.
  
  <div style="clear:both;"></div>
  <div style="display:block;float:left;margin: 10px 5px 5px 10px;"><a href="yourlink" target="_blank"><img src="yourlink" /></a></div>
  
  Thanks

For starters, you have two .com's in the path...http : // www . myblog . com . com

Try adding a new folder to your root domain like this:

public_html/images/

and then upload your image there. Then change your code to:

<a href="http://www.mylink">
<img src="http://www.myblog.com.com/images/myad.png">
</a>

That is how I do it. Maybe it is possible that the permission settings of one of the folders in your string is not allowing it through.

Thanks
