Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about PYH Ads

No. Custom HTML ads are sanitised with wp_kses(): scripts, iframes and forms are removed when you save and when the ad is displayed. For Google AdSense, enter your publisher ID and ad slot ID and the plugin creates the ad unit. Managing ads requires the manage_options capability, which you can change with the pyh_ads_capability filter.

Yes. Ads are rendered on the server and tracked by a small script that reports to a REST endpoint, so cached pages are still counted. With full-page caching, which ad wins a placement is decided when the page is cached.

No. AdSense renders inside a cross-origin iframe, so browsers do not let the page see clicks. Impressions are tracked; use your AdSense reports for clicks. The same applies to embedded YouTube and Vimeo players.

Header and homepage hero use the standard wp_body_open hook. If your theme does not call wp_body_open(), use the shortcode or do_action( 'pyh_ads_placement', 'header' ) in your template.

Use <?php pyh_ads_display( 123 ); ?> for a specific ad, or <?php do_action( 'pyh_ads_placement', 'sidebar' ); ?> for whichever ad wins that placement.

No. Targeting applies to automatic placements. An ad inserted with a shortcode, block or widget-by-ID appears where you put it, as long as it is active and within its schedule.
