Filter for developers: override ad HTML by position
add_filter('init_manga_extra_ad_html', function($html, $pos){
if ($pos === 'home_below_slider') {
return '<div class="promo-banner">YOUR CUSTOM HTML HERE</div>';
}
return $html;
}, 10, 2);
Filter for developers: customize wrapper output
By default, Extra Ads wraps every ad in <div class="uk-margin uk-text-center">. You can override the wrapper per position.
add_filter('init_manga_extra_ad_wrapper_open', function($open, $pos){
if ($pos === 'global_below_menu') {
return '<div class="uk-margin-top uk-text-center">';
}
if ($pos === 'sidebar_bottom') {
return '<div class="uk-margin-medium-bottom uk-text-center">';
}
return $open;
}, 10, 2);
add_filter('init_manga_extra_ad_wrapper_close', function($close, $pos){
return $close; // default: '</div>'
}, 10, 2);
Hook for tracking or analytics
add_action('init_manga_extra_ad_rendered', function($pos, $html){
// Logging or analytics logic here
}, 10, 2);
Conclusion
Extra Ads provides full control over ad placement without dependency on external ad plugins. It enables site owners to position ads precisely where they convert best, while still giving developers the flexibility to override, wrap, or track ads programmatically. Init Manga v1.8.3 brings native monetization control into the theme, allowing clean ad management without compromising layout or performance.
