If you tried at one time to place some adsense code in your post, you might have found out that it doesn’t work. The reason for this is that Wordpress filters out your posts for programming codes and unwanted html codes upon publishing to avoid conflict with Wordpress’ programming as well as for some other security reasons. This includes javascripts which Google adsense is created with.

If you want to place google ads in your posts, there are two ways to do it. One is to edit your theme and place your adsense codes right in the theme file. This requires a bit of php programming so I won’t really delve into this topic for this entry. The other option which I want to focus on for now is to install the exec-php plugin which can be downloaded here.

1. Download the extracted exec-php.zip file in your online installation using ftp in the wp-content/plugins/ folder

2. Activate the plug-in in your admin panel

3. Create a new entry to test the plugin

4. In the text editor, click the “code” tab right beside the “visual” tab

5. Copy your adsense code and paste it there (when you switch the editor to the visual editor, the adsense cannot be seen)

6. Publish the entry

7. Check if the adsense code displayed well in the front page

The plug-in actually disables the Wordpress feature that filters out the entries from programming language. This allows both php and javascript to be executed even in posts.

Note: Google adsense a maximum of four ads only within a page. This could cause the remaining adsense exceeding the number not to appear.
