There are two ways to add a new ad using the Advertising extension:
- Via the Advertisers’ Dashboard — This method can be used by advertisers to add their advertisements to your site, after they have registered and logged in. After logging in, the Advertiser needs to click the Add a New Ad button on the Dashboard page.
- Via the WP Admin Panel — This method is available only to site admins. In order to add ads via the WP admin panel, the site admin has to click the Add New link on the Advertising > Ads page.
