• For neutral persons who love mixing php with basic html

Log in to your admin dashboard, go to Appearance ==> Editor ==>Select theme functions (functions.php) ==> copy and paste this code in the last line of your function.php ===> N/b we are using the 250*250 adsense (bidvertiser, media.net yahoo-bing adds, chitika, snowmotion, addynamo and etc.) Unit so your css padding should reduce if you are using any unit higher than this let’s say maybe 350*280 .

Use this code format to toy with any position of your choice playing around the conditional statements contained in  wordpress and the genesis framework Just make sure you are getting it all right after all you have the freedom to ask me any questions if you run into any error at all.

I will not write so much on this one since the genesis simple hook plugin has already proven itself to be self explanatory, just make use of the codes above applying the conditional statements where and when necessary.

• Head on to wordpress plugin repository to grab the Genesis Simple Hook Plugin

Or search it from your wordpress dashboard using the plugin search option, install and activate following the wizard UI. Now proceed   with the tutorial to grab a single sample code to use while using the genesis simple hooks plugin.

Shows in the homepage, single, archive, pages and etc. To add your custom code do the following, bearing in mind that you can place one google adsense unit (let’s say 250*250) in one of the horizontal bar and chitika adds ( 250*250) in the second horizontal bar . Also take a look at the conditional statements, I added all of it to make it easy for you to remove the ones you don’t like or add the ones (formats) you might need. Also play around other possible adverts position taking full advantage of the genesis framework simple hooks plugin’s flexibility.

Log in to your admin dashboard as usual, go to Genesis ==> Simple Hooks ==> Locate ==> genesis_after_endwhile ==> copy and paste the code below ticking (checking) the following boxes ,,, Execute Shortcodes on this hook? ,,,, Execute PHP on this hook?,,,, that’s all .

Here is the code to copy

<?php if ( is_single() || is_home() || is_category || is_archive || is_page || is_front_page ) {?>
<div align="center" style="width:100%; padding:6px; background: #ffffff;">
<table>

<td>Your 250*250 adsense Single Unit Code</td>

<td>Your 250*250 Chitika Contectual adds code</td> 

</table>
</div>
<?php }?>

or this second code! just any one of your choice

<?php if ( is_single() || is_home() || is_category || is_archive || is_page || is_front_page ) {?>
<div align="center" style="width:100%; padding:6px; background: #ffffff;">
Your 250*250 adsense Single Unit Code   Your 250*250 Chitika Contectual adds code
</div>
<?php }?>

Bonus Tips :

You can do a lot of styling on these adds unit placement you have just added via the genesis actions, just define a class in your default theme style.css or use the custom css for those of you using the jetpack official  wordpress plugin by automatic. Then remember the class you have created and call it in the first div in any of these codes just along the lines where you have   <?php if ( is_single() || is_home() || is_category || is_archive || is_page || is_front_page ) {?>
<div class=”your class should replace this “align=”center” style=”width:100%; padding:6px; background: #ffffff;”>
Your 250*250 adsense Single Unit Code &nbsp; Your 250*250 Chitika Contectual adds code
</div>
<?php }?>

Concluding Lines :

We have played a lot with genesis plugin, actions, conditional statements and sundry not forgetting the  fact that most of our Loyal Readers are using wordpress themes other than the genesis / thesis framework. This is while I will be writing another tutorial in the next few seconds that will cover other wordpress themes, just didn’t want to make this unnecessarily longer than it is.
