Re: Google Adsense
I’d advise against using header.php, because your header is also shown on non-content pages such as 404’s; something which is disallowed in the adsense T’s and C’s.
I did it by writing a small plugin, which you’re welcome to. Just create a my-plugins
folder within your bbpress root folder, paste the text below into the file and save it as bbpress-adsense.php
, upload it to your server and an advert will appear on every topic.
From there on you have the basics for changing the advert to whatever you prefer.
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Simple bbPress Adsense
Plugin URI: http://boakes.org/talk/tags/bbpress-adsense
Description: An plugin that includes an adsense advert just above the content on the topic page.
