wpForo Ads Manager

Running a busy forum costs time and money, and ads are one way to cover it. wpForo Ads Manager gives administrators a single place to add banners to a wpForo community. Ads can be text, images, videos or Google Ads, so you can pick the format that suits your audience and your forum's tone.

Placement is flexible. You can show a banner at the top or bottom of the forum, or between categories, topics and posts. Each banner can be tied to particular forums, given start and end dates, and rotated at random with others in the same spot. Ads are responsive on phones and tablets, and you can hide them from guests or chosen user groups.

Features

• Many banner locations: Put banners in the forum top, head, foot or bottom areas, and inside the category, forum, topic and post lists, so ads appear where members already look.
• Text, image, video and Google Ads: Add any kind of advertising content, including plain text, images, videos and Google Ads, which lets you mix formats and try different monetization approaches.
• Forum-specific targeting: Assign a banner to selected forums so the ad matches the topic and audience of that section of your community.
• Start and end dates: Set a start date and an end date for each banner, so campaigns begin and finish on your schedule without manual changes.
• Random rotation and frequency: Show several ads in one location with randomized rotation and adjustable frequency, which reduces repetition for regular visitors.
• Mobile responsive display: Banners adapt to desktops, tablets and smartphones, so ads fit the screen members use to read the forum.
• User group controls: Turn ads off for guests or for specific user groups, so visibility follows the policies of your community.
• Built for wpForo: Designed as an addon for wpForo and managed from the wpForo dashboard, with compatibility for current PHP releases.
