I have three ads A, B, C and three categories named a, b, c. How to display ad A on a, ad B on b and ad C on C? I can’t find this in the ad plugin settings. Any ideas? Thank you.

Welcome @Windsooon That’s what Javascript was designed to do, manipulate the DOM, including inserting elements into the DOM, so you are on the right path! :slight_smile: Enjoy!!!

If you’re looking to add some text to your categories as a header rather than display ads, we have the Category Banners theme component which sounds like it may be useful?
