Ads disappeared

  • Within days, in two of my blogs all ads disappeared. I mean, I had a number of ads created but now if I go to the All Ads tab I see only a “There are currently no ads. Try to create one to get started” message. What can be happened? Is there any way to recover the ads already configured from some file on my servers?

    NetMassimo: When did this happen? Did this happen during an upgrade? If you look in the WordPress database, you can find a backup. Can you run the following:

    SELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE option_name LIKE ‘plugin_advman%’

    What are the results of this query?

    I have to try to do that through phpMyAdmin. Is there something in particular I should watch? I have to see if and how I can export the results of the query.

    in general, I want to see what is in all of the fields that start with plugin_advman. A field that you would be interested in is plugin_advman_backup. Also, what version are you on?

    Looks like there’s a plugin_advman_backup_0 and a plugin_advman_backup_1. Today I updated to the last version of the plugin.

    If you look at the values in each of these (it will be an almost unreadable mess, but you will be able to understand the names of the ads), do you see your data in either plugin_advman_backup_0 or plugin_advman_backup_1? If you can find the right backup, then you can revert to this backup.

    In one of them there are a lot of data. I haven’t checked the content but I guess those are the ads. How do I revert to that backup?

    NetMassimo – I looked into this – I think it is best if I build a function to ‘revert to backup’ rather than to do manually. Give me a week and I will have it for you. Sorry for the delay.

    OK, thank you.
