 * I am trying to conditionally hide ads on certain posts. I’ve used both post ID’s
   and post slugs/titles and am no further ahead.
 * The problem is that the following codes, added into the template file (single.
   php) only seem to either only acknowledge a single post ID or the first ID in
   a string. The array (which I am betting is syntactically correct) doesn’t work
   at all.
 * this works – hides code on post ID #30:
 *     ```
       <code><?php if( !is_single('30') ) : ?>
       ~ ad code goes here ~
       <?php endif; ?></code>
       ```
   
 * this partially works – hides code only post ID #30 but not on others:
 *     ```
       <?php if( !is_single(30,62,50,61,27,94,102,86,64,29,49 ))  : ?>
       ~ ad code goes here ~
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * this doesn’t work at all – returns blank page:
 *     ```
       <?php if( !is_single( array( 30,62,50,61,27,94,102,86,64,29,49 ) )  : ?>
       ~  ad code goes here ~
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```
