Installing adsense into wordpress theme

Hi: Am attempting to install adsense into a wordpress theme called "Sense of Blue", and it's driving me nuts!

I have tried four different plugins, and they all produce a 404 page when I try to save the plugin settings. I figure it's not the plugins-- they can't all be junk! I have probably misunderstood something real simple.

What am I missing here? Is there some tweak in wordpress that allows adsense to display correctly?

Hope there is help out there!



All the best,

Gene

    • Thank you, Punjabi. I may take you up on that!
  • You can put the adsense code in a sidebar widget - no plug-in required. Or just add the code into a post or page using the html editor. Those are what I do.

    • Agree with this. This is what I do also. Perhaps two blocks (top and bottom, top and middle) depending on what's going on the blog. And for the third (if necessary) consider a theme which allows a custom 468x60 such as the inove theme.

      Never really enjoyed any success with various adsense plug-ins. Tried a few though the sidebar thing has been the more effective.

      Thanks,

      Andy.

    You can create a text widget to put in the sidebar. In the text widget, put your 160x600 Adsense block.

    If you're comfortable with editing the template, you can also put a 468x60 block in the single.php file, so it displays just before the post or after it or both.

    Did you mean Blue Sense theme?

    • Can you or someone expand on this?

      As to what we need to put in the template to call the single.php file

      I currently use a plugin as well and don't like the way it interferes with the
      flow of the text and after reading here, if there's a possibility of lost
      commissions (that would suck too)

      thanks

  • Do you mean "Blue Sense" theme by dosh dosh ???

    This is an Adsense Ready theme.....you don't need to install any adsense plugin !

    Did you try the plugins with another theme ?
  • I have tried the plugins...but found it better just to insert the code manually. - That way you can choose exactly where you want it and what format. Puts you in control
  • Instead of using plugins why not fork out that little bit extra and buy an Adsense built theme instead?

    Two which most people recommend are:

    1. ctr Theme (no longer has support or supported yet still have to buy the theme)
    2. Clickbump

    I use ctr but only because I've never tried Clickbump and will probably purchase and install it on one of my other domains to see how it performs.

    • One correction...

      Eppie is back on the scene and has started responding to support questions again, so CTR-Theme may be back in the game.

      One endorsement...

      Clickbump rocks....
