How do I turn on the rotate feature?

Hi patfenner,

Sorry, but i’ll need you to be a bit more specific on settings you are using.

Generally speaking, you need to make sure your feeding the widget with enough adverts to rotate. The best way to do this is to use an “advert type” and assign that type to your widget and have rotate set. Then all you do is manage what adverts you have in that advert type.

For example, you could have 3 ads in there for a week, within that week be setting up 3 more for the following week. From here you could either assign those 3 new adverts to the existing advert type and remove the 3 old adverts from that type, or create a new type for the 3 new adverts and change over the advert type on the widget.

If your process is similar to this, please let me know and we’ll work out whats going on for you.

OK, thanks so much for the quick reply! Here’s what I do:
We have our current ad set up as a text widget under our Header section, and I just insert the shortcode there. This is just using a text widget from WP.

But using your plug-in, if I want to be rotating say 2 ads, should I be inserting the shortcode to both in the text widget?

To practice, right now I created 2 ads labeled as the advert type “header”, but only one is showing. I’m not understanding where to set the rotate feature?

Thanks for your patience – this plug-in sounds like exactly what I need, and I am bound and determined to get through this!!

Ha! Success!

Stuck with it and realized I did not have the Shortcode builder section opened when I was creating the ads…and volia! there it was! The ability to add ads and turn on rotate! It even fades quite nicely…

Hi,

Glad to hear you got it working. You beat me to it from suggesting to use the shortcode builder. Handy little box that is ??

Enjoy

Thanks so much, Ash…for the plug-in AND the help!

Continued best wishes…

UPDATE: I’m not sure what happened but the site is now displaying the rotating images correctly. I’ll advise if that changes. ??

———ORIGINAL MESSAGE———
I’m having the same rotation issue. We’re moving our website to WPEngine.com and I’m testing the plugin to rotate story teasers (replacing Max Banner Ads PRO).
I have added the following to single.php:

<?php
        if (function_exists('adkingpro_func'))
            echo do_shortcode("[adkingpro type='story' rotate='true' speed='5000' changespeed='600' effect='fade']");
    ?>

The first image appears and will click thru correctly but it does not rotate through the other advert type images. I also tried the widget, configuring the advert type and rotation options and a text widget using the shortcode from the generator.

Not sure what I’m doing wrong here.
Staging site is not accessible outside our network so unfortunately cannot supply the URL.

vancoovur,

If you find your issue returns, please start a new thread as it will technically be a new problem (wont be similar to this issue althought I would have suggested the same thing – try the shortcode builder)

Will do Ash. Thanks for that and brilliant plugin btw.
