||||

* Go to Admin > Settings > Ad Plugin
|
||||
* Add DFP link into code boxes, input width and height based on Google Ad Ad units. Here are some sample ad codes that you can put in the input into the settings. But remember:
|
||||
⋅⋅* Each slot requires a different sample ad code. That means, you cannot put the same ad sample ad codes multiple times in different slots. They won't appear.
|
||||
⋅⋅* Don't click on the ad.

||||
⋅⋅* On the last stroke of midnight, the magic will wear off. Make sure you leave the ball before then.
|
||||
|
||||
*Please test both plugins individually* - don't symlink both together, instead test them in isolation.
|
||||
|
||||
Input 3 parts - ad code (topmost box), width, height. And be sure to untick the disable box. Then, refresh the page for the inputs to take effect, and go to the ad location.
