YEAH! Works perfect, ocbln.

Thanks for your help.

Sorry, cybergetro. You have to write SAM in small characters. So, the code is
[sam id=5 codes=false]
(if your advertising id is 5 !!). And yes, the ID ist the number of the Ads place.

Hi ocbln,

Thnaks for your tip, but… unfortunately didn’t work: http://www.screencast.com/t/pLZWRuna1NKQ

The SAM works with ADS places. Does the number ID corresponds to an ADS place?

Hi cybergetro,
insert on Theme panel -> Your Header Ad the SAM-Shortcode, e.g.
[SAM id=5 codes=false]
if your Advertising ID is 5. That’s all.

gzip/deflate is managed at the web server level – it needs to be running for your hosting account. This allows the web server to automatically compress everything sent by the web server from your site to the web browser. This alone is good for 20+ points. This is the #1 thing which should be addressed. Ideally your web host should have this on for your account. If they won’t enable it, move to another host who will!

If you look at my posts there is an example of the .htaccess settings that I used for
the “expiration headers”

For images:
1) you need to use a compression plugin, like smush.it or similar (see comments from others in the thread); this will optimize all the thumbs created by WP and the theme
2) upload well compressed images (e.g., 25-40kb max, not 150kb or 700kb — unless you’re doing some kind of photo/portfolio site where quality is first concern)
3) consider changing the compression level by default in WP, which is done in the functions.php file at bottom using the code I’ve suggested in my posts — setting it to something like “60” vs the default “90” (I think), will cut the size of the thumbs by a huge amount.

For my particular brand of magic, try putting this at the end of your .htaccess file:

AddType text/javascript .js

# BEGIN Expire headers
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault "access plus 5 seconds"
ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access plus 2500000 seconds"
ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 2500000 seconds"
ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 2500000 seconds"
ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 2500000 seconds"
ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash "access plus 2500000 seconds"
ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 700000 seconds"
ExpiresByType text/javascript "access plus 700000 seconds"
ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 700000 seconds"
ExpiresByType application/x-javascript "access plus 700000 seconds"
ExpiresByType text/html "access plus 600 seconds"
ExpiresByType application/xhtml+xml "access plus 600 seconds"
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_headers.c>
    Header unset ETag
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_alias.c>
RedirectMatch 403 /xmlrpc.php
</IfModule>

NOTE: if you use pingback or post by email, don’t put in that last 3 lines, as I do this to keep spammers from posting comments via pingback even when comments are off (!).

The above assumes your web host is running Apache, and not IIS, or nginx or other. If so, you might have to tweak those for your particular host. Apache is the most common, however.

Also: make backup, via FTP, or your hosting panel fileManager of your .htaccess file first; then if your site doesn’t load with the new elements, put back your original version.

Hope that helped.

@cooldude
on most professional news portals, popups (“interstitials” on many sites, technically) are actually managed by the AD MANAGER toolset, and not the CMS portion. Meaning, the CMS runs the content, the Ad Manager runs the ad placement, timing, tracking, etc.

You likely will want to look into an ad management platform to integrate, which offers pro level tools to implement interstitials, tracking, and other elements for your specific needs.

Or, you could use very simple existing tools like “nBar – Advanced WordPress Multipurpose Bar Builder” which allows you to slide in footer or header ads. Or, “WordPress Advert Flap Pro” which has fly in ad elements, or “Interstitial Ads for WordPress.”

Hopefully you won’t be too easily frustrated by that idea.

Hi Radu,
thanks for your answer. ‘AdRotate’ or ‘Simple Ads Manager’ (which I use) can not afford this. The settings in theme are always sidewide – either the header ad for phone is enable or disable. 🙁

Do you mean the “Top Header Menu”? In the menu manager…
