Post Layout

Post Layout is a must have WordPress plugin for who want to insert ads into posts or generally inject “call to action” in posts without theme modifications. I’m not simply talking of inserting AdSense, anything can be injected into a post.

It’s not a plugin for new bye who don’t know how to copy and paste JavaScript code but for smart blog owners who really want to optimize their pages. Here a nice list of features:

• inject whatever HTML or JavaScript code on single post  top, bottom and middle of the content (middle point is identified by the more break)
• inject code on each posts in home page, category pages, archive pages, tag pages before and after the content
• detect mobile devices and let you to set specific code to be injected for them (AdSense JavaScript doesn’t work on mobile devices, do you know?)
• injection can be disabled at post level
• PHP code allowed in code block (for very advanced users)
• some placeholder for easy link  building (eg. for social bookmark sites)
• a Pro version exists if you want to “have more”

Why a Pro version

Even if the free version can be really useful, I found it to have limitations using on some of my blogs. One of them is the impossibility to inject specific code only on posts belonging to some categories. Blogs with a wide number of topics (like a magazine) find it better to insert the banner of a swimwear campaign into fashion posts, not into ones talking of politic.

Support

I want limit my support to fix bugs. I accept and I’m grateful for suggestions about new features, but I have no time to answer all request about “align left an ads”, “what’s PHP code”, “how can I add AdSense on my blog”. Do not buy the Pro version to have such kind of answers. May be one day I’ll consider a Pro version with support, clearly it will cost much more.
