Adding AdSense Code Into A WordPress Theme

Adding or embedding AdSense ads or any type of script or code into a WordPress blog is pretty easy once you understand where to place it. In order to do that you first need to know what some of the code in your means. This WordPress guide will show you what some of the themes code means and where you can embed scripts like AdSense, HTML code or even images.

In order to edit your theme from within the WordPress dashboard your themes files must writable. Do do that you need to change the permissions, or CHMOD of the themes files to at least 666 or 777. You could also work on them in the hosting accounts file manager or on your computer and FTP upload the changes files. I prefer to edit the theme from the dashboard.

Before you get started you should copy any file you are attempting to edit and save it in a text file on your computer. If anything goes wrong you can simply paste the unedited version back to undo any damage. You have been warned!
