The plugin must reside in a sub-folder called \"wp-ebay-ads\" (lower-case!) as supplied in the zip file, else it WON?T WORK<\/p>\n\n<p>3) Go into the Wordpress admin panel, find Plugins and WP eBay Ads should be listed. Click Activate to activate!<\/p>\n\n<p>Using WP eBay Ads<\/p>\n\n<p>There are two ways to use WP eBay Ads. Pick either 1) or 2) then move to step 3).<\/p>\n\n<p>1) Place the following shortcode directly in your post.<\/p>\n\n<pre><code>[wpebayads]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n<p>2) You can also get the listings by placing the following code in your template file for your single post. Usually called single.php. Place it inside the loop. I like to place it right after the_content tag.<\/p>\n\n<pre><code>&lt;?php if(function_exists('wp_ebay_ads')) {wp_ebay_ads($post-&gt;ID);}?&gt;\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n<ul>\n<li>After you either use the shortcode in your post or edit your template file then all you have to do is add a custom field to the post called ebay_search. Set the value for what you are searching for.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>ex:<\/p>\n\n<p>Name: ebay_search<\/p>\n\n<p>Value: ipod<\/p>\n\n<p>3) View the post and you should see the listing show up.<\/p>\n\n<p>4) Go to the \"WP eBay Ads\" admin panel under the Settings dropdown, and modify what you would like.<\/p>\n\n<p>5) For multi-author blogs, each author needs to enter their campaign ID on their profile page in the input field added at the bottom.<\/p>\n\n<p>Notes:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><p>If the ebay_search custom field is not used or blank then the ads will not be displayed.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>You can use the [wpebayads] shortcode method and the template code method at the same time.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>More about search terms:<\/p>\n\n<p>It can be difficult to target searches, so here are some more tips :<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><p>green lamp - this is logical, a space between the words means all products with \"green\" and \"lamp\" in the title.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>\"green lamp\" - exact phrase match means the exact phrase \"green lamp\" must be found in the product title<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>lamp -green - AND NOT - searches for all occurrences of \"lamp\", but minus sign excludes any titles with \"green\". No green lamps here!<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>(lamp,\"bedside table\") - OR - brackets apply logical OR (also AND\/OR I think) to all items in the brackets, whether single keywords or phrases, i.e. this will find all items with either \"lamp\" OR \"bedside table\".<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>(\"old lamp\",\"old telephone\") -green - find all items with either \"old lamp\" or \"old telephone\" in the title, but excluding \"green\".<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>lamp -(book,CD) - this will search on \"lamp\" BUT will exclude \"book\" and\/or \"CD\". This type of search is especially useful as it allows you to eliminate most of the junk\/irrelevant items like \"My Old Lamp CD\" and narrow the search down to just actual lamps! Though some of these searches can get quite long, and there is a limit to the number of terms. Just experiment.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>By the way,  you are not suppose to put spaces after commas or minus signs.<\/p>\n\n<p>There is more help on the relevant eBay page (http:\/\/pages.ebay.com\/help\/search\/advanced-search.html?fromFeature=Advanced%20Search).<\/p>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt>I don't see the mulit-author settings.<\/dt>\n<dd><p>You must be using Wordpress V2.8 or higher.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>Why should I contribute or leave the powered by link?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>Because you're a cool person and like to show your appreciation.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n<!--section=changelog-->\n<h4>1.7<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>fixed issue with currency not displaying correctly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.6<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>minor bug fixes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.5<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>minor bug fixes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.4<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>minor bug fixes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.3<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fixed error with hidden ebay link redirect.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.2<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Added the ability to use shortcode.
