There are three ways we can connect the domains with the ads.txt file hosted on our server.
Quick Installation Instructions
Log-in to your WordPress administration panel and proceed to the ‘Plugins’ section.
Select the ‘Add New’ option and search for ‘ads.txt Guru Connect’.
Once you have located the plugin select the ‘Install Now’ button, then once installed select the ‘Activate’ button.
Go to ‘ads.txt Guru’ section listed in your WordPress administration panel menu, copy your ‘Connect Data’ and send it to Adapex so that we can sync the ads.txt at our end.
Manual Installation Instructions
Download and extract the ads.txt Guru Connect plugin ZIP file.
Create a directory called adstxt-guru-connect in your /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
Upload all *.txt and *.php files to the /wp-content/plugins/adstxt-guru-connect/ directory.
Activate the ads.txt Guru Connect through the ‘Plugins’ menu in your WordPress administration panel.
Go to ‘ads.txt Guru’ section listed in your WordPress administration panel menu, copy your ‘Connect Data’ and send it to Adapex so that we can sync the ads.txt at our end.
This works by redirecting visitors to your ads.txt file to the file hosted on our servers.
If you have an existing .htaccess file, add the redirect directive (provided by us) to your existing .htaccess file. The directive can be placed anywhere in your .htaccess file, however, if you have complex mod_rewrite directives in place we recommend placing it before these.
If you do not have an existing .htaccess file, create a text file called ‘.htaccess’ using any text editor and add the rewrite directive, then upload the file to the directory which would normally contain your ads.txt file at the root of your domain.
Please note, .htaccess files are only supported by servers that are using the Apache Web Server software. If your server uses a different web server such as IIS or nginx, please consult the relevant documentation for how to create a redirect – we will be happy to offer you support doing so.
To connect using FTP, we need the following details.
FTP host address
FTP username
FTP password
Port, if it’s anything other than “22”.
ads.txt path (if it’s different from public_html/ads.txt)
Note: If you support SFTP (secure FTP), it would be the preferred method compared to FTP.
For years, Adapex has been our trusted partner — their experts are always there for us and feel like a part of our team. I have confidence that their techniques and products will keep our revenues growing strong. Highly recommend!
We couldn’t find a better partner to work with.
We’ve been working with Adapex for a while and they consistently offer great support and present new opportunities to generate more revenue every month.
The entire Adapex team has quickly become key players in our overall revenue optimization strategy. They’re fast, responsive, proactive, and most importantly good at what they do. I am beyond happy I made the decision to make the change to Adapex.
“Adapex more than doubled our programmatic revenue year-over-year. This fact speaks for itself; what I would like to call out is the exceptional level of attention and support that they provide to their clients. It would be a true challenge to find a more responsive or knowledgeable team anywhere in the industry.”
