 * Hi chrisntoukas,
 * One way you can do this is by following these steps:
 * 1. Create a child theme;
    2. duplicate single.php from the parent to the child(
   create a file called single.php and copy all of the content from single.php in
   the parent theme into single.php in the child theme); 3. In single.php in the
   child theme, find the place where you want the banner ad to appear and add the
   following snippet
 *     ```
       <?php if (in_category ('category1')) {  ?>
       	<div class="banner-ad">
       	 This is a banner ad
       	</div>
   
       <?php } ?>
       ```
   
 * On the basis of the code above, if we’re viewing a post in category 1, a banner
   ad will be displayed.
 * Obviously, you will adapt the category slug (the category name) and the mark-
   up for the banner ad to your own needs.
 * I hope it helps.
