The MU forums have moved to WordPress.org

Adding Google AdSense to All Blogs (9 posts)

    Hello.

    I have done a quick search but none of the posted methods seem to work.

    I am using the latest version of MUWP with subdomains and have installed about 80 themes from a pack.

    I was wondering how I would get a Google AdSense ad under the first post on every blog that is hosted.

    I tried MightyAdSense but it didn't seem to work, I don't know why.

    I know I could edit all the theme files, but that would take hours since I have 80, and I add more themes daily.

    Thanks for any help.

    By the way, you are testing your themes I hope to make sure they work as well as looking for security issues, right? ;)

    Gotta admit that the only method I know of is hard coding as I'm not aware of any hook in there to use.

    Another thing to consider:

    I just recently took Adsense off of my WordPress MU system, as it wouldn't be worth it to get banned just because someone on the system posted something not under Google's TOS. Just a thought.

    Cheerful Trails,

    Well you could always wrap the Google Adsense TOS into your AUP -which for a lot of blogs would seem to be pretty sensible.

    I hardcoded it to every theme I have. Pain in the ass, but it works.

    Yep, you pretty much have to hardcode them in the theme.

    Easiest way is to just include it in the themes.

    you can try just using $sed and put it just after the <body> tag o just before </body> [every theme has them]

    calumneilson, a WPMU plugin can do the trick although I don't know what have you tried:

    <?php
    
    function global_adsense($the_content) {
    	$the_content .= 'Your adsense script';
    	remove_filter('the_content', 'global_adsense'); // only for the first post
    
    	return $the_content;
    }
    
    add_filter('the_content', 'global_adsense');
    
    ?>
