Adding Ads to arthemia theme

This guide explains how to put your ads into the arthemia wordpress theme. By default, arthemia has 2 places for ads, the 468×60 pixel ad in the top right, and the 300×250 pixel ad a bit further down on the right side. Both of these sizes are common to Google AdSense.

Adding the 468×60 ad:

  • Head into your WordPress admin Dashboard
  • Click Appearance
  • Select Header (header.php) from the list on the right
  • Find the line of code (about half way down) that reads:
    • <img src=”<?php echo get_option(‘home’); ?>/wp-content/themes/arthemia/images/banners/wide.jpg” alt=”” width=”468px” height=”60px”  />
  • Just replace the entire thing with your ad code (make sure that your code is for a 468×60 pixel ad)
  • Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Update File

Adding the 300×250 ad:

  • Head into your WordPress admin Dashboard
  • Click Appearance
  • Select Sidebar (sidebar.php) from the list on the right
  • Find the line of code (right near the top) that reads:
    • <img src=”<?php echo get_option(‘home’); ?>/wp-content/themes/arthemia/images/banners/square.jpg” alt=”” width=”300px” height=”250px” />
  • Just replace the entire line with your ad code (make sure that your code is for a 300×250 pixel ad)
  • Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Update File
