Well, how long is your redirection key? I think there might be a limit as to how long of a key will fit in the database field. (Possibly 255 characters.) It could be truncating it, e.g. “mylongk” instead of “mylongkey”, which means that using what you perceive to be the key will fail.

When you change your Twitter account, you need to go through the OAuth process again, which Tweetable isn’t letting you do, due to it’s error.

It’s possible to reset Tweetable to a pre-installation state by making changes to certain rows in the wp_options table. Follow these instructions carefully, as doing something wrong can cause major problems for your WordPress install. (And there is no ‘undo.’)

1. Point your web browser to https://yourblog.com/wp-admin/options.php

2. Scroll down to the line marked tweetable_account_activated. (You can use Ctrl+F to search within the page.)

3. Change tweetable_account_activated from 1 to 0.

4. Scroll down to the bottom and push the “Save Changes” button. Return to your blog’s Dashboard and Tweetable should allow you to re-run the original installer when you try to access it.

It’s not all that uncommon of a problem. (I probably should add the snippet to the FAQ…)

Sometimes themes add .even/.odd classes to things like comments to “zebra stripe” them with different colored backgrounds, so the alternating colors make it easier to see where one ends and the other begins. (That’s just one use of the technique, but you get the idea?)

The problem is when they use sloppy CSS practices, and simply say

.even {...}

instead of

div#comments .even {...}

This creates conflicts with plugins, like WP125, that use alternating .even/.odd classes themselves. ??

Try:

#wp125adwrap_2c .even {border:0;}

Generally they won’t reconcile. WP125 tracks the actual number of times an ad is clicked, or it’s URL is accessed. Your advertiser probably has its own process, which may exclude some traffic (e.g. search engines or residents of some countries) in the logging.

Do you have a fairly low traffic blog? Are you scheduling posts?

What do you mean by “use an image link for these redirects?”

1. Display an image with a link wrapped around it

<a href="https://example.org/go/link/"><img src="https://example.org/path/to/image.jpg" alt="" /></a>

It works. Just insert an image as usual, and put the GoCodes link in the image link field.

2. Redirect to an image URL

You take an image URL, such as https://example.org/path/to/image.jpg and create a GoCodes link that points to it, so https://example.org/go/image/ would forward to the image URL, allowing you to do something like this:

<a href="https://google.com"><img src="https://example.org/go/image/" alt="" /></a>

This should work. I haven’t tried it myself, but technically it should be fine.

Do you have a caching plugin installed? WP Super Cache, for instance, interferes with the ad shuffling.

.wp125ad img { border:0; }

It means your server needs to have the libcurl package installed. You’ll have to talk to your host, unless you administer your own server.

Thanks for the help, obazavil. I will certainly look into EpiOAuth and see if I can work it into the plugin.

I honestly have no idea. This problem keeps cropping up, but I haven’t been able to reproduce it myself, or pin it down to a specific cause. Very frustrating.

“Cannot get ad to display, I am linking from photobucket and the ad will not display. Also when I try linking to the ad hosted in wordpress and will not display.”

Make sure the image URL starts with https:// and ends with the filename and .jpg,, .gif, .png, etc.

“Also how would one get adsense code or affiliate ads in there.”

You can’t use AdSense in the plugin. As for affiliate ads, it depends on how they’re done. Some affiliate ads are just an image and a tracking link. They’ll work if you do them right.

“How about box for pasting in code rather than linking to an ad on an external site.”

This has been suggested many times, and it might make it into WP125 in the future.

“Also how come there is only 1 WP125 widget. Once you use it once say on the rightside bar then there isn’t another widget to place elsewhere”

WP125 doesn’t support the newer way of handling widgets yet. It will in the coming months though.

You just need to edit your CSS to allow *room* for the ads to appear in two columns. If the sidebar is too narrow, the ads won’t be in two columns. Sometimes the sidebar is just slightly too narrow, and adjusting the padding around the ads can fix it. (See the plugin FAQ.)

It may be a bug, though it depends on how you look at it. WP125 was originally intended to only have 1 ad assigned to each ad slot. If you’re putting more than one ad in a slot, I can’t really say how it would behave.

That said, I’m planning a major rewrite of the plugin that I will hopefully be working on over the coming months. It should be more robust.
