Post Feature Image Ad

**Post Feature Image Ad** allows you to monetize your WordPress blog by displaying ads (image, embed code, or video) directly over the featured image of single blog posts. The plugin includes:

– Support for three ad types: Image, Embed Code (e.g. AdSense), or MP4 Video
– Optional ad link URL for image or video ads
– Start and end date scheduling for timed ad campaigns
– Responsive and mobile-friendly design
– Close (dismiss) button for better user experience
– Built-in settings page under the WordPress admin

This plugin is ideal for bloggers, marketers, or publishers who want to maximize visibility for specific promotions without disrupting the main content.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin folder `post-feature-image-ad` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
3. Go to `Feature Image Ad` from your admin menu.
4. Configure your ad type, content, schedule, and save.

== Usage ==

– Enable the plugin and go to **Feature Image Ad** in the WordPress admin sidebar.
– Select your desired ad type (Image, Embed Code, or Video).
– Enter the ad content (URL, embed code, etc.).
– Optionally set a **start date** and **end date** for the ad display.
– Save the settings.

The ad will now appear over the featured image of single posts within the selected schedule (or always, if no date range is set).
