AdSense Widget for WordPress Sidebar



WordPress PluginsThis is a Google AdSense widget I designed for the new WordPress Sidebar Widgets plug-in.


However, as a loyal reader has lovingly pointed out, if you want AdSense or any other kind of JavaScript component added to your sidebar all you need to do is paste it inside the standard Text Widgets that come built-in with Automattic's Sidebar Widgets plugin!


Unbelievably easy! And all this work for nothing. However, for fun I have left the original plugin up here in case you were interested in how I made the plugin.


Thanks to the people at Automattic, it is easy to install and requires no coding or template modification.


The Color, size and h2 title of your AdSense widget are all fully customizable from within the WordPress Presentations tab. No joke!


Requires:
Wordpress Sidebar Widgets Plugin


Download:
wp-widgets-adsense.zip


Here are the installation instructions…



Installation:



  1. Unzip and upload to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory

  2. Activate the plugin from inside WordPress (Plugins tab)

  3. Drag AdSense widget to your sidebar from inside WordPress (Presentation tab > Sidebar Widgets)

  4. Click the configuration icon and enter your google_ad_client ID

  5. Optional: customize the color, size, and sidebar h2 title


That's it! Enjoy.
