We’ve just released another video going over how to install our WordPress plugin. Give it a watch if you need any help with the integration, and let us know in the comments what else you want to see! You can also find the transcript after the break.

Hey everyone, Liam from AdButler
again with another tutorial video, and

0:00:05.120,0:00:07.320
today we’re going to be doing something
a bit different;

0:00:07.320,0:00:11.490
We’re going to step outside of AdButler
and look at WordPress today. Specifically,

0:00:11.490,0:00:16.320
how to use both together, and get AdButler running on WordPress. WordPress is

0:00:16.320,0:00:19.769
that great piece of software that
today’s modern internet is basically

0:00:19.769,0:00:25.800
built on. Thousands of websites including
our own blog, blog.Adbutler.com run on it.

0:00:25.800,0:00:29.490
Our plugin for WordPress allows you to
place and configure an AdButler zone

0:00:29.490,0:00:33.840
and any widget on your website and
simplifies the process setting it up is

0:00:33.840,0:00:37.260
really easy and I’m going to run through
it right now with you. A quick note

0:00:37.260,0:00:41.219
before I start, you will need to access
your AdButler admin account, that’s the

0:00:41.219,0:00:44.100
account above all other accounts, the one
with all the billing information

0:00:44.100,0:00:48.390
everything tied to it. So if you’re just
a user account, once you hit the point

0:00:48.390,0:00:51.239
where you need to access the admin
account you might need to ask for access

0:00:51.239,0:00:55.680
to it. Now this video is only going to go
over how to install the plugin and set

0:00:55.680,0:00:59.399
up a zone. We’ll go over the more
advanced features in another video. To

0:00:59.399,0:01:03.359
start, open up your WordPress dashboard
and head over to plugins. Please note

0:01:03.359,0:01:06.869
right now that if your website is hosted
on WordPress.com, you won’t be able to

0:01:06.869,0:01:12.000
use our plugin because you cannot use
any plugins on WordPress.com. Moving past

0:01:12.000,0:01:16.110
that, click on the add new button and
search AdButler. You’re looking for the

0:01:16.110,0:01:19.799
one by SparkLIT Networks, that’s us, and
you want to hit the install now button.

0:01:19.799,0:01:23.490
The plugin will quickly get downloaded
and we can click activate to get it

0:01:23.490,0:01:24.150
running.

0:01:24.150,0:01:27.750
If we move over to the installed plugins
list, the AdButler plugin will now be

0:01:27.750,0:01:31.860
listed here, and we can click settings to
start linking it to our account. We’ll be

0:01:31.860,0:01:35.970
greeted by prompt asking for AdButler
key. For this, we’ll need to login to that

0:01:35.970,0:01:40.500
admin account in AdButler. Once you login to your AdButler dashboard, we’re

0:01:40.500,0:01:44.700
looking for the settings option in the
top left. In here we’ll, find a completely

0:01:44.700,0:01:49.649
unreadable string called WordPress key.
We’ll need to copy this entire string and

0:01:49.649,0:01:53.159
paste it into the prompt on our
WordPress website and hit save.

0:01:53.850,0:01:57.360
We’ll then get a confirmation and be good
to go. The rest of the screen goes over

0:01:57.360,0:02:01.049
the basic usage of the plugin, so feel
free to read it. Now that our WordPress

0:02:01.049,0:02:02.880
and AdButler accounts are linked,

0:02:02.880,0:02:06.990
I can head over to appearances widget
area and place the widget wherever I

0:02:06.990,0:02:10.740
want my banner to appear. You’ll notice
that the list of zones is categorized under

0:02:10.740,0:02:11.910
publisher and

0:02:11.910,0:02:15.540
head back into AdButler, all my zones
and publishers are present in the same

0:02:15.540,0:02:19.860
tiers. Heading back to WordPress, I can
select which zone I want and what kind of

0:02:19.860,0:02:25.050
tag I want placed. We always recommend async, but feel free to use whatever. If

0:02:25.050,0:02:27.960
you’re looking for explanations on the
different tags, you can find them here.

0:02:27.960,0:02:32.340
You can also set if you want this on to
serve over SSL, or if you want to pass

0:02:32.340,0:02:36.870
extra click data along with the banner.
Finally hit save, and the zone is good to

0:02:36.870,0:02:37.380
go

0:02:37.380,0:02:41.100
confirmed by this ad properly configured
message. I can now head back to my

0:02:41.100,0:02:45.330
WordPress site and look at that, our
banner has now shown up. If I click it

0:02:45.330,0:02:48.900
we’ll track the click, an impression will
go, and everything is pretty much working

0:02:48.900,0:02:52.830
without having to make any changes to
the websites code. So that is the basic

0:02:52.830,0:02:56.010
implementation of our WordPress plugin.
We do have some higher-level

0:02:56.010,0:03:00.450
functionality as I said earlier, which
I’ll be going over on our next video. As

0:03:00.450,0:03:03.780

any questions or email us to get in

0:03:03.780,0:03:04.350
