Plugin settings corrupt

Inside my wordpress error log file I can see these lines:

PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/home/*****/public_html/wp-content/plugins/ad-inserter/includes/dst/dst.php' (include_path='.:/opt/alt/php74/usr/share/pear') in /home/*****/public_html/wp-content/plugins/ad-inserter/ad-inserter.php on line 12238

Hello,

it seems you have issues with the installation/server. Try to reinstall the plugin.

I uninstalled and then reinstalled the plugin but the error persist. I don’t have any issues with other plugins

I’m having the same issue, please help!

Edit: I managed to fix it. I deactivated and uninstalled the plugin, that didn’t work. Then I reinstalled and reset all settings, that fixed it.

Thanks for your feedback…I’d like to avoid to reset my settings, since I’ve many ads configured with specific conditions and it would be hard to reconfigure everything back again…however, since you experienced my same issue, it seems to be a plugin bug

There is no known bug in the plugin. The errors you posted indicate issues on the web server – some files can’t be opened. I would suggest contacting your hosting provider.

Ad Inserter settings are stored in the?ad_inserter?option in the?wp_options?table in the database. To copy/restore complete Ad Inserter settings you need to copy this option – in the case you will restore them from some backup.

I copied the value of ad_inserter option, then I reset the settings and saved some new values. The new values are saved correctly, but when I try to restore the backup value inside the table, I’m getting the error again on the frontpage.

Apparently the old value has been corrupted and can’t be used anymore. Is there an option to decrypt ad_inserter option value to verify its content?

Post the option to pastebin.

This page is no longer available. It has either expired, been removed by its creator, or removed by one of the Pastebin staff.

Pastebin automatically deletes the code I’m trying to post. I used this alternative: https://pastes.io/of0olvr4ka

I’m sorry I could not recover the settings. There is an error in the structure of the data. Something happened to the server that corrupted the settings when they were saved.

is this a bug from plugin developer?

I am having the same issue. Nothing unusual happened, i wake up, all of my ads are gone, plugin settings corrupt. I will just use some other method, I dont have the patience for this. every other plugin works fine.
