Hi,
This is not the right place to ask this question. This is the pre-sale question section, where you can ask all pre-sale questions you have, before purchasing this plugin. Just open a new support topic in the wpForo Ads Manager: https://gvectors.com/forum/wpforo-ads-manager/
Can you load specific ads into the ad space, like if I go to a company & say hey, I can give 33% of the top banner space for the next 365 days for $. or is it only for Google, Amazon, etc that I have no real control over what’s displayed
Hi,
The logic of the “wpForo Ads Manager” plugin is quite simple, it just shows the content that you fill in “Ad Banner Content” (without changing the content).
Hello 🙂 Can I somehow put a “recent posts” widget in advertisement spots? (Not forum posts, but wordpress posts).
Hi Petter,
Not sure what you mean saying put “recent posts” widget in advertisement spots?
Is it possible to rotate ads in these spaces? For example, can I rotate ads from google, eBay and Amazon, for example?
Hi Mars,
Yes, you can, just attach multiple ads to the same location.
Can I get a short code, for example I want to display the ad content of ID #1 inside the topic content
Hi mohammed-tm,
I’m sorry, but the addon doesn’t allow you to display ads in post content. You can display them after X posts in topics, but not in posts:
Can the ads display for selected user groups? The idea is I want to display coupon/discount code ads for registered users only.
Sure, wpForo Ads Manager allows you to display ad banners for certain usergroup in specific location of preferred forums:
I have to tell you this – your 2CO payment gateway is terribly irritating me each time I make payment for my order. I’m making payment from Australia and am trying with 3 different cards plus PayPal, but nothing works. It used to happen on previous purchases, but only with your fantastic 2CO payment gateway. So, could you advise an alternative checkout?
I’m sure this is a customer specific issue. We’ve been using 2CO for about 7 years without any issue. I’m sorry but we don’t have other options for payment. I recommend you contacting 2CO support, they have chat, phone and ticket support: https://www.2co.com/#contactUs
hi, there are lots of ads in my forum and they are in places where I don’t want to see them. I plan to stop /forum pages from google Adsense so my forum will look well again but the problem is I don’t want my forum pages without ads. So, When I stop ads from google AdSense for forum pages, can I still add ads into forum pages with this addon? Actually, I want to learn if it is possible or not to insert ads into a page although we stop ads showing on that page from Adsense
Mahir Barut,
You can add images, texts, other codes you want in the banner location.
Please help I buy ads manger add-on and i want start ads on my site I open addon then I click on new then click on text and then I paste there my AdSense ads code but on my site not showing please help me
This is not the right place to ask that question. This is the pre-sale question section, where you can ask all pre-sale questions you have, before purchasing this plugin.
If you have question-related the wpForo Ads Manager plugin please open a new support topic in the https://gvectors.com/forum/wpforo-ads-manager/ support forum, and we will happy to help you.
Would it be possible to show an ad after the first post of every topic?
Sure, it’s possible. Just set the value 1 for the “Post List – Banner displaying frequency” option. Then use the CSS code below.
.wpfp-first ~ .wpforo-ad ~ .wpforo-ad{display: none !important;
}
I too want to display an ad one time. I don’t understand where the CSS code goes. Can you assist?
Please follow this support topic: https://gvectors.com/forum/postid/25656/
Can I display ads in private messages?
Hi Okereke,
I’m sorry but not. You can’t add ads in PMs.
(Can I display ads in private messages?) Is this topic currently applicable?
Does this plugin support MEDIA.net ads? do we have any test version?
Hi Sanjay,
The logic of the “wpForo Ads Manager” plugin is quite simple, it just shows all content that you fill in “Ad Banner Content” (without changing the content).
You can put the same code in a regular WordPress post content using the editor Text mode. If it works, then it should work with Ads Manager too.
Regarding the test version, sorry but we don’t have it. However, if you provide a code, we’ll test add it on our Demo forum, so you’ll be able to see how it works.
RE: Side Bar Ads
Will this plugin allow us to show Side Bar Ads?
If not, when will this option become available?
Thank you?
Currently, you can choose the following locations for the banner:
We’ll take into consideration for future updates (no ETA yet).
(Will this plugin allow us to display Side Bar Ads?) Has this request been added?
The answer is still the same.
Is it possible to have ads running in all of the public forum areas and turn them off in the forum/categories that are locked behind a MemberPress password? Thank you!
Hi Sallie,
When you create an add banner you can select location, duration and forums where it should be displayed.
Thank you!
Is there a way to remove ads for certain user groups yet? This would be a very awesome addition if so.
Hi Joey Gray,
I’m sorry, but not yet. We’ll take this into consideration for future releases.
Is there a way to remove ads for certain user groups yet? Is this topic currently applicable?
Yes, It has the “Hide for usergroups” option.
Will it work with wordads?
Hi Abhijatya Gupta,
I’m sorry but I’m not familiar with this plugin.
The logic of the “wpForo Ads Manager” plugin is quite simple, it just shows all content that you fill in “Ad Banner Content” (without changing the content).
You can put the same code in a regular WordPress post content using the editor Text mode. If it works, then it should work with Ads Manager too.
Hi Astghik,
Wordsads is not a plugin, these are the ads provided by wordpress . Usually it only needs to add a widget to add an ad on a page. How we can add it with this?
Hello. Can we use shortcodes instead of image banners in ads? 🙂
Hi lightform,
Yes, you just need to put the shortcode in Ad content.
Please don’t forget to switch the editor to the text mode.
Is there documentation describing how to modify or ad plugins to the AdManager? Is modification of the AdManager possible?
Hi Rob,
Please open a support topic in gVectors Support Forum and provide more information about the plugin in that topic.

Hello, Is there any way to monitor the click rates on my advert banners or see what adverts are doing well??
I’m sorry but there isn’t. This addon is developed only for creating advertising areas in forums, topics and posts. It only displays ads, it doesn’t track them. Addon’t doesn’t have any function for payment, click tracking and other ads specific features. In 99% cases these addon used with 3rd party Ads providers banners, for example “Google AdSense”…. These providers have all necessary tools.
(Is there any way to monitor the click rates on my advert banners or see what adverts are doing well??) Is this issue applicable now?
Hi,
The addon doesn’t have such a feature.
Hello, Please i really love the look of the forum plugin and i have two major questions..
1. Can the WpForo Admanager plugin work well with bbpress (very important)
2. Can I migrate the totality of my existing bbpress forum into WpForo
pls treat as urgent.
Thanks. est Regards.
Hi Olaniyan,
wpForo and bbPress are totally different plugins with different structure. wpForo addons don’t work for bbPress.
Yes, very easy. Just use the Go2wpForo tool. You can find it here:
https://wpforo.com/community/migrate-to-wpforo-from-other-forum-plugins/migrate-to-wpforo-go2wpforo-tool/

Can I make certain types of ads to appear in certain topic title keyword? Let’s say I want topic title that has ‘Man’ as a keyword to have men’s underwear ads?
Hi Dickson,
I’m sorry but it’s not possible with current version. We’ll take this under consideration.
Can you disable adverts for certain groups.. so for example visitors see the adverts but subscribers or members view the forum ad-free.
I’m sorry but not yet. However this is already in our to-do list. We’ll add options to enable/disable ads for certain usergroup.
Hi – has this been done yet? It would be a brilliant feature. Then I could use the ads to upsell paid membership to free users and to let paid users know about current bonuses / events. Thanks! Clare
Can I easily integrate google and amazon ads with this plugin?
Yes, you just need to create a new Ad in dashboard, put the google or amazon ad JS code in Ad content.
” Products subject to yearly license for future updates.”
=> One year update or lifetime update?
Hi Seen,
thank you for your interest in wpForo addons. You’ll get addon updates during one year. After one year you should renew your license to get product updates. However you’ll still be able to use the addon version you got for unlimited time.
