Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records Simple GAM version 1.3.3 as active, updated 6y ago and tested up to WordPress 5.2.
Overview
About this plugin
Finally an easy plugin to add Google Ad Manager (GAM) blocks into WP – shortcode and template function. It was designed to work with a multisite install, please tell me if any problem on a single site install. Thanks!
Shortcode
Simply use [simpledfp_block ad_id=xxxx] where xxxx is the id of your DFP ad post type, created when you installed the plugin.
Template function
Please use the following code:
if (class_exists('simplegam_main')) { // checks the plugin is installed simpledfpBlock(array('ad_id' => xxxx); }
With, also xxxx being your Simple GAM Ad id, previously created in wordpress admin panel. You can retrive this ID like this.
I recommend the Reveal IDs plugin.
Steps to use correctly
Install the plugin
Fill the DFP network identifier in the settings of the plugin
A new menu DFP Ads appears in the sidebar of admin panel
