I’m here to close this topic as being resolved. Today, there are plenty of plugin options available to handle my original request!

The one I’m using is called Google Plus Author Information in Search Result (GPAISR).

I was able to downgrade to version 3.7 and my ads were fixed and all stats remained in place! Hopefully a fix for this will be out soon.

I tried the “delete and CHMOD the upgrade folder” fix and it didn’t work for me, so here’s what I did:

1. Delete the upgrade folder
2. CHMOD the wp-content folder to 777
3. Run auto-updater through admin again

This will allow admin to write the upgrade folder to the wp-content folder and install…or at least it worked in my case!
