What it does
Running ads on a WordPress site often means editing theme files, guessing at placement and showing the same ad to every visitor. This add-on gives you placement and targeting controls inside WordPress instead. You can put ads between posts, at random spots in content, in grids or sliders, or as parallax and background ads. A frontend picker lets you choose a position on the page itself, so you can set things up without touching code.
Targeting is where much of the extra control comes from. Ads can be shown or hidden based on geolocation, URL referrer, user role, browser language, keywords, cookies and previous page impressions. Cache busting keeps rotations and dynamic ads working on cached sites, and lazy loading waits until an ad reaches the viewport. It also works with BuddyPress, BuddyBoss, bbPress, GamiPress, WPML, WP Bakery and Paid Memberships Pro. The free Advanced Ads plugin is required.
Best for
- Bloggers and publishers earning income from display ads
- Community sites built on BuddyPress, BuddyBoss or bbPress
- Multilingual or membership sites needing targeted ad rules
Features
Extra ad placements
Place ads at random content positions, between posts, in grids and sliders, or as parallax and background ads, giving you more spots than a standard header or sidebar.
Detailed visitor conditions
Show ads based on geolocation, URL referrer, user role, browser language, keywords, cookies or how many pages a visitor has already viewed.
Lazy loading for ads
Ads load only when they enter the visitor's viewport, so ads lower on the page are not requested until someone scrolls to them.
Click fraud protection
Helps guard your ad campaigns against fraudulent clicks from bots or competitors, which can put your standing with ad networks at risk.
Ad blocker fallbacks
For visitors using ad blockers, you can show fallback ads, display overlays or redirect them to a dedicated page you choose.
A/B testing and rotation
Rotate ads within groups and run A/B tests to compare which ads and placements work better for your audience.
Ad refresh without reload
Refresh ads on the page without a full page reload, so visitors who stay longer can see different ads in the same spot.
Cache busting
Keeps ad rotation and dynamic ads working on sites that use page caching, so each visitor can get a fresh ad.

Questions about Advanced Ads Pro
Do I need the free Advanced Ads plugin as well?
Yes. This is an add-on that builds on the free Advanced Ads plugin, so you need that installed. The Pro features, such as extra placements, visitor conditions and cache busting, then appear alongside the core ad management tools.
Will my ads rotate properly if my site uses caching?
It includes cache busting designed for this situation. Dynamic ads and rotations can still change between visitors on cached sites, and browser width conditions can be checked so device-based rules continue to work.
Can I target ads to specific visitors?
You can. Conditions include geolocation, URL referrer, user role, browser language, keywords, cookies and previous page impressions. Combining them lets you show an ad only to logged-in members, visitors from a certain country or people arriving from a given site.
Does it work with community and membership plugins?
It is listed as compatible with BuddyPress, BuddyBoss, bbPress, GamiPress, WPML, WP Bakery and Paid Memberships Pro, which adds targeting and placement options suited to those setups, such as ads within forum or community areas.
Is Advanced Ads Pro free?
The code of Advanced Ads Pro is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
Which version of Advanced Ads Pro is this?
Version 3.0.14, released Aug 3, 2026. New versions appear here when the developer publishes them, and members get them as automatic updates.
How do I update Advanced Ads Pro?
Install the free GPL Feast Updater on your site and connect it with your API key. It installs new versions of Advanced Ads Pro automatically and keeps a backup, so you can roll back.
What does Advanced Ads Pro need?
Advanced Ads Pro needs Advanced Ads installed and active.
