New Ads setup - April, 2023

The following steps were taken to enable the new Ads at the bottom of the articles.

1. Create an 'Ad-New' Category that is a sub-category of Advertisements

   1. Set this category as 'exempt' from Recent News and Front Page in the Benchpress settings.

      NOTE: A post with the 'Ad-New' Category must be published first before the it will show up in this list and can be selected.

2. Create an 'expires' Tag

   1. Hide this tag from the Front Page in the same way

3. Install the PublishPress Future plugin to allow setting an expiry date

4. Create an adArea() function in BP_modules and call it from the articlePage() function in the Page Controller

5. Set up a way for Categories to show the description at the top of the first page of results. Just add a description to the Category and then enable that category in Benchpress Options.
