Wordpress Compatibility: FAQs
Is OIOpublisher compatible with a standard Wordpress installation?
Yes, the script is fully compatible with any self-hosted version of Wordpress, including v2.8.
Is OIOpublisher compatible with blogs hosted at Wordpress.com?
No, Wordpress.com does not allow the use of 3rd party plugins on its hosted blogs. You must host the Wordpress blog yourself.
Is OIOpublisher compatible with WPMU?
Yes, as long as you install OIO in the “plugins” directory. It is not designed to work in the “mu-plugins” directory. If you want to show ads across the entire site, rather than using it on a blog by blog basis, it is suggested that you install OIO in standalone mode.
Does OIOpublisher work with any Wordpress theme?
Yes, as long as the theme supports the Wordpress “header” and “footer” hooks. To check whether your theme contains these 2 elements, click here. Don’t worry if they aren’t there, as you can easily add them yourself by following the instructions on that page.
What about if my Wordpress theme doesn’t support widgets?
That’s no problem, as you can add the OIO ad code to any part of your Wordpress theme manually. Click here to see an example of the php code you would use to add a banner ad zone to your site.
Is the Wordpress plugin a separate script from the standalone install?
No, it’s exactly the same script and will automatically load as a Wordpress plugin if placed in the “plugins” directory of a Wordpress blog.

It should be completely theme independent. The only situation that does arise sometimes is that some themes don’t have the php footer hook in the footer.php theme file:
wp_footer();
If it’s not there, you just need to add it directly above the closing tag.
This is something related to the CSS in the theme, but I’m no CSS expert…my text links for ads using OIO are getting bullets placed over the leading character in the title of the ad…any suggestions?
I can’t see any text links that fit the description you mentioned on the site you linked to (money-hacks.com).
If you’ve got an example you could show me, post it on the support forum and I’ll check it out.
I changed a setting in OIO to use a list…that cleared things up enough for me. Thanks!
hey how about in a blog where the sidebar is not widgetized. Say my theme is not widgetized? will it work as well?
Hi Melvin,
I’ve added that question to the FAQs in the post above. The essential answer is it doesn’t matter if your theme supports widgets, since you can add the OIO ad code manually anywhere you like.
hi
i already have 37 dollars and still saving so i can buy that
cheers!
Will this program allow me to insert and manage image ads inside posts in addition to the side bar?
If not are there any programs that do help manage ads in the content of posts?
Yes, you can insert ads into your posts, as well as sidebar (or anywhere else on your blog).
There are a couple of options – “inline” ads automatically insert an ad into each post. However, for greater flexibility, check out the addons plugin below. It lets you insert any text / banner ad zone you wish into a post as you
write it:

After you’ve installed OIO, you just need to upload and activate the addons plugin and you’ll automatically have the extra functionality.
Will this plug-in work in the Thesis theme?
