  1. Upload the contents of this .zip file into '\/wp-content\/plugins\/snack-ads-txt' on your WordPress installation, or via the 'Plugins->Add New' option in the Wordpress dashboard.<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin via the 'Plugins' option in the WordPress dashboard.<\/li>\n
  3. Once activated new re-occuring cron task is scheduled, which automatically updates ads.txt file.
