Does AdX Ad Inserter insert any internal ads?

Is AdX Ad Inserter compatible with Google AdX and Ad Manager (DFP)?

Yes. You can paste your AdX or Ad Manager ad slot code directly, and the plugin handles safe placement and async loading.

Can I show popup, rewarded, or interstitial (vignette) ads?

Yes. Popup ads can be triggered on scroll percentage, time delay, or exit intent. Rewarded ads can be triggered when users click a link or button. Interstitial/Vignette ads can be placed via AdX/Ad Manager or custom scripts.

Does the plugin support Offerwall ads?

Yes. You can integrate Offerwall ads by pasting your Offerwall ad slot code from Google Ad Manager or any third-party network.

Can I insert ads in the header and footer?

Yes. The plugin provides dedicated slots to insert header and footer codes (scripts or styles).

Can I insert ads before or after posts?

Yes. The plugin supports “Before Post” and “After Post” insertion:
* Before Post: On single posts, the ad appears above the post title. On homepage/blog pages, it appears after the site header (before all posts).
* After Post: The ad appears below the post content on single posts, or below all posts on blog/archive pages.

Can I control ad placement inside post content?

Yes. You can insert ads before or after specific paragraphs or images, with precise offset controls (1-10). For example, insert an ad after the 3rd paragraph or before the 2nd image.

How does the ads.txt feature work?

The plugin includes a built-in ads.txt manager where you can create and edit your /ads.txt file directly from WordPress. If your host blocks root file writing, the plugin will display the content for you to copy and upload manually via FTP.

Does this plugin track my visitors?

No. The plugin itself does not track visitors or collect any user data. It only loads the ad scripts you provide. However, the ad networks you use (Google AdSense, Ad Manager, etc.) may collect data according to their own privacy policies.

How do I display a GDPR-compliant cookie consent message?

AdX Ad Inserter does not include a cookie consent popup. We recommend using a dedicated GDPR/CCPA cookie consent plugin alongside AdX Ad Inserter. You can configure it to work with your ad network scripts for compliance.

Does the plugin slow down my site?

No. All ad scripts are loaded asynchronously, and the plugin itself is lightweight with no unnecessary dependencies or bloat.

Can I enable or disable the plugin globally?

Yes. There is a global enable/disable switch (Plugin Active / Plugin Inactive) that controls whether ads render at all. Each ad slot also has its own enable/disable toggle for granular control.

Is it free to use?

Yes, AdX Ad Inserter is completely free. There are no premium versions, no hidden charges, and all features are available to everyone.

What if my ads are not showing?

Check the following:
1. Ensure the master plugin toggle is set to “Plugin Active”
2. Verify the specific ad slot is enabled
3. Check that you’ve selected the correct page types (e.g., Posts, Pages, Homepage)
4. Confirm your ad slot codes are correct and the ad units are active
5. Check browser console for any JavaScript errors

Does the plugin work with caching plugins?

Yes, the plugin is compatible with most caching plugins. However, if you’re using page caching, you may need to exclude pages with dynamic ad content or purge the cache after making changes to ad settings.
