Just checking whether this plugin will be updated soon. Just received this notification from Wordfence regarding XSS. Thanks.
]]>Are you planning to release an update to this plugin that doesn’t rely on jQuery on the JavaScript version (for cached sites)?
]]>I know it’s a (very) minor issue, but current icon on dashboard’s sidebar is totally out of place: colorful and low-resolution. It can be a little distracting.
Is there any chance to replace it with a more modern, visual aligned one to default ones?
]]>ads wount rotate with php 7.4 and php 8.0.
we are forced to stick with php 7.3 which is not supported right now
is there a fix for this? or some steps i can do to get this working with latest php
please guide
]]>Start Date Even though the ad delivery date and time is specified in Start Date, the ad is not delivered even at the specified time.
For example, even if you make a reservation so that the advertisement will be delivered from 0:00 on May 28, the advertisement will not be delivered at 0:00 on May 28.
Please check and if there is a problem with the plug-in, please improve it.
]]>I have just activated the plugin but it does not seem to work properly.
in the settings, for example, the shortcode is not generated for me, and also when creating banners, the image I had specified is not displayed in the “all banners” list. furthermore, they are not visible in the sidebar.
how can I check if the plugin is causing problems or if it is the template itself?
]]>I’d love to use this plugin, but I’m having an issue where on Post Pages, shortcodes placed within the widget area of my website are coming up as raw text.
However, on normal pages *non-post*, like say Homepage? shortcodes placed within the randomizer appear normally.
This could be a theme related issue, but if anyone wants to replicate my issue..
Download WP Window Shopper and try to use it with Datafeed to display random sidebar ads. Both plugins are free, but you may notice it only working on Pages, not posts.
Otherwise this is a solid plugin.
]]>Hello,
Your plug-in is exactly what I am looking for. So I installed it and followed all the staps in the tutorial. That goes good, until the part that I have to generate the shortcode. The yellow box does not appear at all. So I can’t get a shortcode. I hope you can help me with this.
]]>Hello! Lately every time we enable the plugin for the ads it significantly slows the site down and usually crashes the site. So to get it back up I have to remove the plugin from the site. Any ideas as to why this must be? We’ve used it for a long time before, and now that we switched to a new server we keep having issues with it. Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks!
]]>Hello,
I use dfads shorcodes in widgets
[dfads params='groups=712&limit=1&return_javascript=1']
and I display the widget like this:
<?php if( !dynamic_sidebar('pub-totalcovering-top') ): ?>
<div class="totalcovering-pub-top"><img src="/images/arch-top.jpg" alt="my default ad" /></div>
<?php endif; ?>My problem is that dynamic_sidebar('pub-totalcovering-top') is always true, because the shortcode always returns the basique HTML even if there is no ad.
But maybe I missed something in my config, shortcode or something else?
Thank you for your help.
]]>Hi there,
I have tested your plugin and the shortcodes do show the ads however these shortcodes are showing ALL the ads I have despite specifying the group ID in it. These are the shortcodes I have:
[dfads params=’groups=2680′] 2 ads
[dfads params=’groups=2681′] 1 ad
I’ve tested each one in different sections of the site and on both areas all 3 ads show. Why is this happening?
PS: I’m using WP-Rocket and have also tested with the javascript at the end and it didn’t work either.
]]>I recently migrated my blog but I noticed my group id’s were not matching anymore. Is there a way to manually set group ids?
]]>I need to create a code using either of these:
<?php echo dfads( ‘groups=152&limit=1&orderby=random’ ); ?>
[dfads params=’groups=152&limit=1&orderby=random’]
In this type of format……
<center>
</center>
Could someone help me figure out how to do that? I need this group of DFADS to rotate and my Word Press themed website will not let the […] or php versions to work.

]]>You have a lot of videos showing how to configure the plugin.
When someone is looking for a plugin, they want to see what it can do, not how to configure it.
Have you considered a video that show what the plugin does without blowing their minds with making them view hoards of how to videos to figure out how it will look/work on their site?
Once they are convinced that it is what they are looking for, that is when they will be interested in viewing your ‘how to’ videos.
The ads on our homepage are not randomizing when the WP Super Cache plugin is turned on UNLESS I’m signed in as an admin. When logged in, it appears to work fine. However, on any browser not signed in to the backend, only one ad will ever show in a single ad block, despite two ads being in the specified group.
As soon as I turn off caching completely, the ads change again. I finally found a setting in the WP Super Cache plugin to keep it from caching the home page, but that’s not a true solution, as the Ads plugin says it’s supposed to work even with caching plugins.
What’s weird is that I’m 99% sure the ads used to randomize just fine WITH caching turned on. We have used a caching plugin on this site since launching the site a little over a year ago, and I know the ads were randomizing when we first put the Ads plugin on the site.
Has something changed recently that might be to blame? All of my plugins are updated to their latest versions, though I just did that today. The non-randomizing issue was present before and after updating the plugins.
]]>Hi
I have several add groups defined in my website and applied inside some widgets in wordpress, using the Advanced Usage (Shortcode)
But when I get into the website, adds are shown in places that were not defined for them. This is creating problems due to the differences between size of the adds and the size of widgets.
How can I avoid this problem?
How can ensure that an add is shown only in the selected groups?
This ad plugin works great but one weakness is there is no way to add multiple variations of an ad without increasing its view percentage. For example, you have ads from two companies. Company #1 only has one ad. Company #2 has 3 different banner ads. That means company #2 has a 75% chance of appearing while company #1 has a 25% chance of appearing.
If a simple ad weight functionality were added, it would solve this issue.
It could be a percentage. So for each of Company #2’s ads, you could choose 33% for each of the ads (which adds up to 100%). Then company #1 and #2 would have an equal chance of appearing.
This would also just be useful in general – say it’s an ad for a 50% off sale that ends tomorrow. You have 4 other ads so it only appears 1 out of every 5 times. But increase the view weight chance to 400% and it appears one out of every 2 times.
]]>I think JS script could and should be improved because performance is super slow now. Sometimes it takes even 5 seconds till Ads is shown. Meanwhile visitor might leave page… This is problem of all versions of this plugin no matter which Theme is used (I did try for sure).
]]>Is there a way to reset impressions?
]]>Hello,
Please, do you know what happened? (Maybe I know it myself but I’m not certain if yesterday it was still working)
The ads don’t show up anymore and also in the administration they are hidden.
]]>Everything else on the page loads fine, but when I add a new Ad with a new image (completely different image name) the Ad block on Firefox is blank. Seems to only happen when replacing old ads. I have Adblocker disabled and it doesn’t seem like Chrome has the same problem on PC.
]]>I just noticed this … On my sidebar (all pages) the 2 bottom ads under the stationary Marketplace ad changed in the past when the browser was refreshed. Now the ads only change in the Chrome browser.
Can you help me? The site is hosted over at WP Engine.
Thanks in advance for your reply,

Hello,
This plugin does not work with ad blockers. Even a simple image with no link will not show up which makes this plugin virtually useless these days. What can I do to get around this?
]]>Hi
What is the time period of the impresions counts shown in the plugin? Is it possible to custumize the period?
Best regards
]]>I just saw copy/paste mistake in file inc/admin.php:
public function dfads_enable_count() {
$output = get_option( 'dfads-settings' );
$output['dfads_enable_shortcodes_in_widgets'] = isset( $output['dfads_enable_shortcodes_in_widgets'] ) ? $output['dfads_enable_shortcodes_in_widgets'] : 0;
.....
<input name="dfads-settings[dfads_enable_count_for_admin]" id="dfads_enable_count_for_admin"
It’s copied from previous function dfads_enable_shortcode(). I think that it should be:
$output['dfads_enable_count_for_admin'] = isset( $output['dfads_enable_count_for_admin'] ) ? $output['dfads_enable_count_for_admin'] : 0;
debug.log:
PHP Notice: Undefined index: dfads_enable_count_for_admin in .../wp-content/plugins/ads-by-datafeedrcom/inc/admin.php on line 18
I’m seeing a lot of dfads errors in Google Search Console “Crawl Errors.” I can tell they are coming from this plugin by what follows e.g. dfads_group/adsense-250-300/.
How can I fix this?
I was thinking maybe some code could be added to Robots.txt instructing search robots noindex and nofollow dfads. I don’t know the correct code to use or if it would be a positive fix.
BTW, I love this plugin.
]]>Ads are showing that are not in the selected groups. How can I fix this (preferably before tomorrow!)?
]]>My ads have quit showing. I’ve tried re-generating the shortcode, and nothing shows up. Any suggestions?
]]>Hi there, I had to disable all plugins to fix another problem, and now that I have reactivated Ads by datafeedr my ads are not showing. All I am seeing in their place is “Notice: Undefined index: _block_id in D:\Hosting[…]wp-content\plugins\ads-by-datafeedrcom\inc\dfads.class.php on line 205” and the same for line 208.
Can anyone advise what this error means and what I should do to fix it? I’ve searched but can’t find an answer.
Thank you!
]]>If so, how?
