bryan-hadaway 3 Report post Posted June 29, 2010 Very possibly, but you'll simply need to test it out. Please note that many people are saying it's not working with the latest WordPress: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp125/ - bottom right Thanks, Bryan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leah 2 Report post Posted June 29, 2010 ok. i'll test it out. would i just put the PHP code in the feature box? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bryan-hadaway 3 Report post Posted June 29, 2010 You can try that, or see if there is a shortcode or JavaScript that can implement the widget/plugin. Thanks, Bryan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmunns 16 Report post Posted June 29, 2010 This is in the bottom of the ad settings `Your ads can be displayed using either the included widget, or by using the <?php wp125_write_ads(); ?> template tag.` BUT, you'll have to make a shortcode for it to get it in the feature box Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leah 2 Report post Posted June 29, 2010 yes i found that code in the WP125 documentation. I did not realize it had to be in shortcode. How do I make a shortcode for it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bryan-hadaway 3 Report post Posted June 30, 2010 You would need to use a plugin like so to create your own custom shortcodes: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-shortcodes/ Thanks, Bryan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leah 2 Report post Posted June 30, 2010 Ok, downloaded the plugin, named the shortcode wp125lrwc, put this <?php wp125_write_ads(); ?> into the value box, saved it, put the shortcode [wp125lrwc] into the Feature Box text area and nada. what am I missing?

cmunns 16 Report post Posted June 30, 2010 Because that plug-in assumes you know how to write a shortcode. It doesn't work to simply put the php statement inside as a value. I think this might be an easier solution though. Let me know if it works? http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exec-php/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leah 2 Report post Posted June 30, 2010 no, i already have exec-php and this does not work for the feature box, only the feature box. ok, so thought on writing a shortcode? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leah 2 Report post Posted June 30, 2010 whooops i meant to say exec-php only works in the "post" area, not the feature box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bryan-hadaway 3 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 I suggest looking around the WordPress plugin directory for something that might be more suitable: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=shortcode&sort= Thanks, Bryan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leah 2 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 ok one of the plugins corrupted something and wiped out all of my custom css. sooooooo thank goodness for back ups :-) I'm going to not deal with this issue for now and go put everything back together. I think I'll come up with a different solution for using wp125, if I choose to use it. Once again, thank you for your replies and help. You guys are great!

bryan-hadaway 3 Report post Posted July 2, 2010 Sorry to hear that, but yes... that's indeed why we back things up. Good Luck. Thanks, Bryan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
