There are 2 easy steps for configuring your Discourse settings to enable advertisements to display in your Discourse forum. There are 2 easy steps for configuring your Discourse settings to enable advertisements to display in your Discourse forum.
#### House Ads
If you don't want to use an external ad platform, but want to show your own ads, then House Ads are for you!
Define your ads by going to the Admin section of your Discourse forum, and go to the Plugins section.
On the left, you should see a link called "House Ads".
Begin by creating your ads. Give each a short descriptive name and enter the html for each.
Style them using a custom theme (Admin > Customize > Themes).
Lastly, click the Settings button in the House Ads UI and choose which of your ads to show in each of
the ad slots. The ads will start showing as soon as you add them to slots.
