Any Block Object consists of Items. Each Block Item has its own source of ads. This source may be: Single Ad (not recommended), Place, Zone. You should select source for each Item when create Block Object using Block Editor. The Block Object is just container of Block Items grid. Because I see ads on your page, you are selected one Place Object (ID:2) as source of ads for each Item of Block Object.

Previously I said you that it is bad idea to use one Place Object for all items of Block Object but you use (Place ID:2)… You may divide the set of ads in Place(2) to 12 sets for 12 Places and use these Places as a sources of ads for items of Block (one Place for one Item of Block).

In your case, I can recommend purchase a Lite version and randomize the placement of ads in the block.

Hi!
Sorry, but output of an ads is not a random process. Each Place Object is a queue of ads and the place of ad in this queue is defined by its weight and ID. You can only randomize the locations of items of Block Object, but this feature is awailable only in Lite version.
It seems to me that you use one Place Object for outputting three items of Block. It is bad idea by several reasons:

1. Your problem at first…
2. If, by some reasons, you have 2 ads in set, you will see duplicated ads in three-item block…
3. The Place Object was named place bacause it is the virtual representation of a phisical place on the page. The place is one place, not more…

The alternative method of randomization of set of ads in the Block is the using different number of ads in sets of Place objects outputting in Block. For example: 2, 3, 4. This will increase the number of possible combinations of ads in the block.

I have set the schedule under the “extended restrictions” tab. Is that the area I should be using in order for ads to expire on a certain date?

Yes!

I would be open to purchasing the paid version of Sam Pro, but I’m a little confused on what is available in the paid vs free version.

Pro version has some extended and some additional features.
For example: You can restrict impressions and clicks by month, week and day (not only by month as in free version), etc…
Pro version contains built-in codes of “Advertising Request” and “Geo Targeting” addons. Description of all plugin features you can find on official plugin site…

1. Scheduling is presented but in shortened form…
2. Find the HTML tag contained wordpress PHP function the_title(). Insert SAM Pro code above this tag and wrap it into the PHP tag (<?php, ?>)…

You should place code in the template of theme in this case.

Hi!
Sorry, I couldn’t answer immediately – I just returned from a business trip.
Yes, it is good idea…

I am trying to fix the problem, but to no avail…

For resolving this problem need time. But I already know how… ??

Is PHP module mcrypt installed on your server?

Sorry! This feature is not available for this plugin…

Place Editor -> Default Ad -> Google DFP

I see that the issue is not solved… Plugin requests non existing file (old file)…
Create thread on the support forum and send me screenshot: Plugins->Editor ->SAM Pro (Free Edition)->sam.pro.layout.min.js…

If this problem will appear again, just visit plugin settings page and click button “Save Changes”. By this action, you will not only save the settings, also you will create a new stylesheet file from already saved styles.
