Plugin Description
The Ads plugin allows you to add advertisements to your blog. You can add advertisements to your posts, pages or Text Widgets via the shortcode. You can also add ads to your site by adding a function to your theme’s template files.
You have full control over how many ads get displayed as well as their sort order.
Important
As of version 1.2.0, all custom callback functions (ie. callback_function) need to be returned by the dfads_allowed_callback_functions() function. To do this, add your allowed custom callback functions like this:
`
add_filter( ‘dfads_allowed_callback_functions’, function ( array $functions ) {
$functions[] = ‘my_first_custom_callback_function’;
$functions[] = ‘my_second_custom_callback_function’;
return $functions;
} );
`
Simple Usage (Shortcode)
[dfads params='']
Simple Usage (PHP)
<?php echo dfads(); ?>
Advanced Usage (Shortcode)
[dfads params='groups=3&limit=2']
Advanced Usage (PHP)
<?php echo dfads( 'groups=3&limit=2' ); ?>
