</ol>
<h4>From Widget</h4>
We also have widget for ad field. The latest ad of specified position will be displayed in the widget.
<h4>Set Default Positions</h4>
In your theme, add filter hook for <code>taf_default_positions</code>. 
These terms will be created automatically.
<pre>
add_filter( 'taf_default_positions', function() {
 return [
 'after-header' => [
 'name' => 'After Header',
 'description' => 'Displayed just after header.',
 ],
 'after-content' => [
 'name' => 'After Content',
 'description' => 'Displayed just after content.',
 'mode' => 'iframe',
 ],
 ];
} );
</pre>
Defaults are empty array, so no default position. 
You can add new position to them with filter hook like above. 
The structure of array will be like below:
<pre>
[
 'slug_name' => [
 'name' => 'Verbose Position Name',
 'description' => 'About where will be displayed(up to you)',
 'mode' => 'iframe',
 ],
]
</pre>
If you set mode as ‘iframe’, this position will have URL and display ad in very simple HTML pages. 
You can get URL from view link in position list of admin screen.
This feature is useful to deliver ad in external platform like <a href="https://instantarticles.fb.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Facebook Instant Article</a>.

It even displays its name in the widget header within the dashboard allowing you to easily see which simple image link widget is which.
