[theme-reviewers] Theme Option for AD Area

[Philip M. Hofer (Frumph)]

Please take note that WPMU/S installs do not allow javascript inside of the text widgets, so ad areas are highly valuable for those.


(unless something has changed in newer versions that’s how it was)

    I would say a Widget Area is appropriate for Ads. That way, the user does not lose the Ad content when switching Themes.



  This, but not because of lost content. It just makes a lot more sense for themes to set up user-configurable widget areas than to set up ad-specific areas. Widgets can contain anything, and a copy-pasta ad code works perfectly well in a text widget. But without being limited to ads, as a user can put any widget they like there.

  Making it more generic makes it fit more use cases.
