I’m using the Easy Adsense plugin and I would like to prevent it from showing an ad on my forum pages. The plugin does have a custom field to disable ads on specific pages, but the problem is that it only disables ads that are outside the forum area (the header and the sidebar), NOT the ad that is showing inside of the forum content area.

Does anyone know where I could insert/delete some code to stop it from showing up?

Bump.

can you either give a link or a screenshot so we can see exactly where it is ?

[@sidelancer Participant 10 years, 1 month ago]

Yep, here it is:

I’ve looked at it with Firebug, it’s the same header ad that I have showing up on all my other pages (except there it is ABOVE the page, not within it). I also tried putting php code around the ad to stop it on specific page numbers, but that didn’t seem to work either.

I suspect it is the loop-single-forum template

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

then

remove lines 20 and 24

line 20

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_subscription_action' ); ?>

line 24

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_subscription_action' ); ?>

come back if that doesn’t work

you could also try to select the specific adsense css element within whatever bbpress element and then do something like

li.bbp-header .adsense {
display: none;
}

The template did change to the new php file, but removing the code did not remove the ad unfortunately. I tried removing other code but nothing seems to affect it.

edit: I’d love to just hide the ad with CSS, but the problem is that is against google policy.

I ended up switching to a different adsense plugin. Thanks for the help
