Awesome plugin

feastandwest September 26, 2018

This plugin has made Mediavine ads even more easy to use. It has a way to insert videos seamlessly into your blog posts, it integrates easily with things like SSL and AMP, and it’s super lightweight. I would highly recommend it to anyone using Mediavine for their ad management. Super awesome plugin!

Makes things EASY

Heather@SugarDishMe December 12, 2017

The Mediavine Control Panel plugin makes things SUPER easy. It takes care of things like adding a Content security Policy for SSL sites and keeping ads.txt files up to date. All things I would normally have to haggle with my host over. This plugin is great.

Works Great

It’s lightweight, has tons of functionality, and keeps my ads up to date.

Has had it’s issues – but now 1000% OK!

pinchofnom August 10, 2017

Yes there was an issue with the plugin a couple of weeks ago, but the issue was very quickly resolved! Couldn’t be happier with Mediavine’s customer service. Working 1000% and is the easiest way to add Mediavine ads to your website imo. Saves faffing with placing code.

poorly coded crashes sites

Plugin not tested before pushing update forced several sites I know of offline for over 24 hours.
