Description
With the Ads Manager addon, you insert ads in strategic locations in the wpForo forum (between topics, before content, in the sidebar, header, or footer) and manage delivery by period, user groups, login status, and view count, all from the forum’s administration panel. Forum owners with an active community find this addon the most direct way to display banners without relying on ad networks or third-party plugins, with full control over placement and targeting.
