What it does
Running ads on a WordPress site often means pasting code into theme files or juggling an outside ad server. This plugin keeps the work inside WordPress. You create each ad as its own item, choose whether it runs between set dates or indefinitely, and place it where you want it. Image ads, HTML ads and third-party ad network scripts can all be managed in the same place, so direct sponsors and network code sit side by side.
Once ads are live, you can rotate several of them in a single location and review graphical statistics for views and clicks. Bot detection helps keep those numbers consistent. The Pro Add-ons extend placement with widgets, shortcodes and targeting options, and a custom block works in the Full-Site Editor. Default sizes include IAB standards such as 300x50 and 970x250. Developers get hooks and filters for custom workflows.
Best for
- Bloggers selling ad space directly to sponsors

Features
Ad creation in the dashboard
Build and publish ads from a simple interface inside WordPress, with no need to edit theme files or write code to get an ad on the page.
Ad rotation
Cycle through multiple ads in the same spot automatically, so several advertisers or campaigns can share one placement on your site.
Date-based or infinite scheduling
Set an ad to run between specific start and end dates, or let it run indefinitely without needing to switch it on or off by hand.
Graphical view and click stats
Review visual reports on how many times each ad was viewed and clicked, with bot detection helping keep the statistics consistent.
Multiple ad formats
Manage image ads, custom HTML ads and third-party ad network scripts together, keeping direct deals and network code in one place.
Widgets, shortcodes and targeting
The Pro Add-ons add widget support, shortcode customization and targeting options, giving you more ways to decide where and when ads appear.
Block for the Site Editor
A custom block lets you place ads in the Full-Site Editor, and default sizes include IAB standards like 300x50 and 970x250 banners.
Hooks and filters
Developers can extend the plugin with hooks and filters to connect it to custom workflows or third-party services.
Questions about AdSanity
Can I run Google or other ad network code with this plugin?
Yes. Along with image and HTML ads, the plugin supports third-party ad network scripts, so you can manage network code alongside ads you sell directly. Each one is created and scheduled the same way inside WordPress.
Can I show more than one ad in the same spot?
Yes. Ad rotation automatically cycles through multiple ads in a single location. This is useful when several sponsors share one placement or when you want to compare different creatives in the same position.
How do I see how my ads are performing?
The plugin provides graphical statistics for ad views and clicks. A bot detection library helps filter out automated traffic so the numbers stay consistent, giving you a clearer picture of real visitor activity.
What do the Pro Add-ons add?
The Pro Add-ons extend the core plugin with widget support, shortcode customization and targeting options. These give you more control over where ads are placed and which visitors see them, beyond the basic creation, rotation and scheduling features.
