How to show ads on bbPress pages

Setting up a forum software can be a tiring endeavor, setting up ads to display on those new forum pages even more. The WordPress plugin bbPress is a handy solution to set up your forums quickly.

Advanced Ads Pro integrates beautifully with bbPress. It gives you all the tools you need to add ads to your bbPress pages. It extends your setup with two placements: “bbPress Static Content” and “bbPress Reply Content”.

Contents

First of all, you need to decide where you want your ad to show up. There are two different placements with multiple hooks to place your ads.

bbPress static content placement

This placement provides hooks to inject ads into multiple positions on the bbPress generated pages:

/forums
/forums/name
/forums/topic/name pages

The bbPress static content placement

bbPress reply content placement

This placement provides hooks to inject your ads at the nth reply on /forums/topic/name pages.

After choosing the appropriate placement, you only need to select the content you want to display and the hook you want to use from the dropdown menus.

You can also inject ads using the post content placement if you are unsatisfied with the positions provided by the hooks.

However, using the post content placement will require a basic understanding of the source code of the pages where you want to inject the ad. And also of the element to choose from the available options for the injection.
