Quads Ads Manager for Google AdSense

It has some good features and is fairly intuitive. I am still having a tough time getting adsense to work well with it. It also seems to have a number of serious issues with placing more than 1 block on a page. For example I have 3 adsense blocks and wanted to put them top left, mid right and bottom (wide ad bar). I tried various ways but never could get all three to show at once. Usually it would duplicate 1 of the blocks not show one of the 3. So I tried using shortcodes instead. Unfortunately it gave the same shortcode id to all 3 of the blocks I made. Not sure what that will do. Anyway, I am giving up now and looking for other solutions. Hopefully this will get solved. I like the interface.

Fairly easy to use but has some issues


This plugin is truly outrageous. In previous versions, it automatically created a “Buy AdSpace” page. In recent updates, it has become even worse by generating a “Hide Ads for Premium Members” page on its own and inserting it into the menu, making sure all visitors see it. It even allows search engines to index the page. Even if you delete it, the plugin immediately recreates it.



I’m using the free version of the plugin and have already disabled the “Hide Ads for Premium Members” setting, but it has no effect at all. This is essentially a ransomware-style plugin.







(In response to the official correction, the evaluation grade has been duly adjusted.)


This plugin operates at the level of ransomware software.

WPAds is a free plugin for showing and managing ads on your WordPress site. It works very similarly to other ad servers, but because of its limited functionality, it is much easier to use.

Please read before updating
This is a fixed version of WPAds which was not hosted on wordpress.org before. 
 I updated this plugin to work for existing users with a newer version of WordPress, but would suggest new users to use <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-ads/" rel="ugc">a better ad management plugin</a>. 
 Please, don’t update if you don’t use at least WordPress 4.7.

The main concepts of WPAds are zones and banners. After creating zones you can insert these ad positions in your template or in your posts, e.g. as positions for ads in header, sidebar or content. Than create some banners, paste the ad code you want to display and assign them to your ad zones. WPAds will serve your ads randomly to those positions. The rotation is based on a variable weight of your ads.
WPAds can show different ad formats (HTML, JS; PHP, Image ads) and support ad networks like Google AdSense, Yahoo Publishers Network, Amazon or Chikita.
