    Hi,

    Is it possible to understand how to add Ezoic to a Popcorn Theme (FSE) site please – is it just adding the placeholders manually?

    Thanks

      Hi Jon,

      Follow Ezoic’s documentation and onboarding process. Their AI works really well with Popcorn. You can also manually add placeholders as well. Good luck!

      Hi Ibrahim,

      Add a blank page called ‘blog’ or whatever you want. Change your reading settings and set the blog to that empty page. The ‘Index’ template will then be used to show your blog roll.
