rogel: Currently, all data for advertising manager is saved as a single blob into the WP options table. Obviously you have more ads + stats than your system can handle. However, I will take some of the blame here because we really should store the data in a more elegant format.

The most efficient way to fix is to move from storing all data in the plugin_advman option to storing in the following options:

plugin_advman – settings
plugin_advman_ads – all of your ads
plugin_advman_networks – all of your network settings
plugin_advman_stats_(day) – all statistics on a given day

Then, when dealing with data, you only pull the data you need from the DB, rather than pulling and storing the whole blob ever time.

I will work on this change and release in the next version.

rogel: Checking into it.

Guido: Not a bad idea – I will add this to the list.

@carla Sinclair

Sorry that it still does not work for you! Can you please let me know your version of WordPress and the other plugins that you are using?

Thanks!

gb_techie: I am happy to add Doubleclick tag integration inside Advertising Manager – please forward me an example tag and any documentation that you have. You can reach me at scott (at) switzer (dot) org.

Marked this issue as resolved.

v 3.5.1 will help upgrade shortcodes.

This has been fixed in v3.5.1.

candreu: AccessWinnipeg: Do you have lots of posts? The upgrade goes through and updates posts with new ad shortcodes. I will make sure that it does a fixed number of posts at a time (rather than all posts) so that there is no memory errors. Stay tuned.

np – got all errors fixed. New release out today or this weekend.

Ok – this is a shortcode issue. The next version will solve it.

Will do – next version.

tatinystavat: Sorry to drop the ball on this. Does this show with all ads or just this ad?

Hi brulton: You need to place the ads where you want them to go.

1. There is a sidebar widget that you can place on your site.
2. You can use [ad#name] in your posts and pages to place the ad there.
3. You can use <?php advman_ad(“name”); ?> to place an ad directly in your template.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Yes you can.

For PHP:

<?php advman_ad(“ad name”); ?>

For shortcode:

[ad#ad name] (NOTE – this shortcode will change to [ad name=”ad name”] with the next release. For more info: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/ad-tag-in-posts
