> ⚠ **IF YOU ARE RUNNING AN AD BLOCKER RIGHT NOW YOU WILL HAVE A _VERY BAD TIME_ TRYING TO SET THIS UP!** TURN IT OFF BEFORE PROCEEDING DOWN THIS PATH! You’ve been warned. 🐉 > > Also be aware of browsers with built-in ad-blocker functionality (eg. Brave) I’ve been working on adding support for house ads in the ad plugin and would like some feedback about how you’d use it. Here’s a video to demonstrate how I have it working now: You define a set of ads using html and the usual theme support, and then add them to the ad placements that are currently available. If the ads or placement settings are changed, clients pick up the changes immediately. Placements with more than one ad will cycle through them evenly in order, starting with a random one. Right now, house ads will always show instead of other configured ad networks. I’m not sure what the rules here should be. > 📢 Need help setting up the HTML for your ads?
