Hi everyone,
I’d like to modify this type of ad:
Basically, I’d like to change the “Want these ads? Use the official Ad Plugin” to write my own text, and link to a URL of my choice. Can anyone provide guidance? Thanks!

Code Fund Ad Customization Discussion Summary
Joshua_Kogan is seeking guidance on customizing Code Fund ads on their Discourse forum, specifically wanting to change the default text “Want these ads? Use the official Ad Plugin” to their own text and link to a URL of their choice.
neil mentioned that the text is configured in the CodeFund account and is a fallback ad when there’s no paid ad to show. To modify this, neil recommended getting a CodeFund account.
Joshua_Kogan expressed interest in using the CodeFund advertising style with their own text, despite their discourse focus not aligning with CodeFund’s advertiser pool. However, coderberry, a CodeFund partner, stated that their platform is focused on software developer websites and forums, making it unlikely to be a good fit for Joshua_Kogan’s discourse.
Alternatively, pfaffman suggested using House Ads in the official Ad Plugin to achieve the desired customization.
You can check out the link to this plugin in the plugin category at Discourse Advertising Plugin (Ads).
But the ad type I’ve pointed out is a Code Fund ad. How do we modify those? I don’t have a code fund account.

Thanks for the link, but that discussion doesn’t share how I can modify the Code Fund ad. I don’t want a banner, I want that little blue box with the word “Ad” in it, followed by text I can modify to my liking. Is this doable?
First step is to get a CodeFund account.
That text is configured in our CodeFund account. It’s the fallback ad when there’s no paid ad to show. (Discussion here.)
Hi @Joshua_Kogan, please let me know if I can help out. I am one of the partners with CodeFund.
Thank you. Does Code Fund allow anyone to create an account? My discourse focus on humanitarian aid and engineering. I don’t expect the CF advertisers to make sense in my community, but I would like the CF advertising style in my discourse, just with my own text near the “ad” image. Please advise.
CodeFund really is focused on software developer websites and forums. Even though your discourse is valuable, I do not believe it would fit with our advertiser pool unfortunately.
I think what you want is House Ads in the official Ad Plugin.
