How To Remove Ads On Posts In Certain Categories
ADVERTISEMENTSHave you ever wanted to remove ads on posts belonging to certain categories only? Or wanted to remove ads on all your sponsored review posts?
Here’s the code to do it in WordPress:
if ( !in_category(15) && !in_category(23) && !in_category(14) && !in_category(20)) {
?>
Your ad code here
In the above code 15, 23, 14 and 20 are category IDs, replace them with the IDs of the categories you don’t want ads in.
I am currently using this code to remove AdSense and Kontera ads from my Blogging, Make Money Online, WordPress and WordPress Plugin categories. Thanks to Keith for the code.

cool keith and John..
I am not sure that I understood sofish’s question…We post different images for different posts and it is not a script like we use for adsense or kontera…so if you don’t want have images for posts in certain categories,just don’t post or embed them.
if u r referring to image ads, then yes the above script will work for sure…

Hmm…think i should be doing what keith is doing…Definitely this is the easiest tip for anyone who even knows a bit of software…but I realize that the fact is several people(who are not into IT) may not be aware of even this, though they may have popular tech blogs…guess even I should be posting more stuff like this, keeping this fact in mind…

Thanks John, I needed something like this for the sponsored reviews category.. Also, do you have any code to not display all the pages created on the top. Meaning, to exclude some pages from being displayed in the nav bar on top.
Thanks!

one more tip.. if you wish to remove ads for any particular post then
you can do something like this too:
if ($show_ad == "N")
{
$adcode = ""
}
else
{
$adcode = "xxx"
}
repplace xxx with your ad code.
Now it wont show the ads in posts where you have mentioned following
code
< ? p h p $show_ad == "N"; ? >Make sure you have runphp plugin installed and you have allowed to run
PHP code for that post and also take of spaces between < ? and php
