Widgets of the HTML type can be configured with any HTML code, including our ad codes. In a separate article, we described using WordPress widgets to publish ad codes.

However, widgets have one disadvantage – if you want to insert ad codes into content (e.g., in post text), you must do it manually whenever you create a post. This is inconvenient.

Ad Inserter Plugin

Another way of installing ad codes to different places in your WordPress is to use special plugins.

One of the most popular plugins for placing ad codes is Ad Inserter.
