Displaying advertisements before and after actual article content is a must for majority of blogs and websites. Genesis child theme users can easily add new widget section below post title (before post content) and after the post content to show ads in these areas. Once you add new sections, just use add text widget to those sections and paste any code that you want to display. Besides the usual ad code, you can insert code to display social icons or use any other widgets in those sections like recent posts, search, comments etc.

1. Add ads below Post title on single Posts

Add following code to functions.php file. This code will register and create new widget “Ad After Title” in the widgets area.

Once you add the code, goto widgets area and drag text widget to “Ad After Title” section. Then paste your Adsense ad code or any other advertisement code to that text widget.

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘=’, expecting ‘)’ it says this can you email me if you sort it out? I have the latest php version on my server.

    ‘id’ => ‘after-post-title-ad’, this is the line causing the error

    Any idea how to add TWO widgets, side by site after the post in Genesis? I’ve see that on Copyblogger website before they re-designed the site. I would use one for related posts or sign up form and the other for AdSense or other ad network.

    Thanks for the tip. Between, is it possible to add “Advertisements” text just above the add? I tried to use the following code in the Ad after title widget but somehow Advertisements text isn’t appearing.

      Just add text advertisement before the ad code – it will appear above the ad by default
