Shortcode Usage With In Post Ads

Is there a shortcode that can be used for exact placement of the ads?

    Hello there @mal7,

    I’m afraid that no, there is no shortcode for that.

    You will have to use the placement rules that the plugin includes (paragraphs etc).

    You can “cheat” it however to add the ads where you want them by simply adding blank lines and setting the number in the plugin settings accordingly.

    I hope that helps!

    Cheers,

    Ari.

    The site that I am trying to use the plugin on has 2300+ posts, so making manual changes to the posts is not going to be an option.

    The problem that I am having is that no matter what I do, the ad is added to the bottom of the post.

    Here is a screenshot of the settings that I am using: http://screencast.com/t/DJH2vaAdT

    I tried changing the element selector from the default setting to just p but that did not fix the problem.

    Is the element selector the problem?

    In that case, even if the shortcode you asked for earlier existed, you wouldn’t be able to use it ’cause you’d still have to manually edit your posts and insert it!

    On your settings you have Inject first ad after this many paragraphs set to zero.

    Change that to a valid value (a number other than zero) and the ads will be properly inserted.
