I just tried to contact you on your website, but the captcha thingy isn’t showing so there is nothing to click on and it generates error messages….
I’ve been using your plugin for years. I don’t have a lot of users, but I love how it displays and and it’s a good tool for me. It’s worked well until yesterday. A customer tried to place an ad but she kept getting error messages. The payment went through PayPal but did not register as a sale on the site. She took a couple of screen shots that I can give you. After reading all of these other entries, I hope that things will be fixed as it’s a great plugin!
This is how it displays on our site: https://www.artizanmade.com/sponsors/
I would like it to have two columns, instead of one, too. Please respond through the contact on my website. Thank you!

I don’t think that’s the problem. As you can see, there were almost 20,000 impressions between the two and only 52 clicks. If all of those impressions landed on dead blogs, it’s logical that they are not going to get seen. And, why did they only spend $5 out of the $70 I had allocated to the campaigns? I’m glad they didn’t keep going as they are obviously going to places where they won’t be seen, but it’s just very strange. I have never seen such a bad advertising program. Is there a place where you have documented happy Blaze users? And, how many users are repeat advertisers?
Sorry, but I have more questions about Blaze.
The promotion ended. I did two and both were for a week with a budget of $35. Neither one used up more than $5 of what I had budgeted. Why? Look at the difference of projected impressions with what actually was done. It doesn’t make sense? It makes me wonder if you even have many people using Blaze…. If other people aren’t complaining, they probably are not checking the links that show up in the stats. Seriously, almost every one that I checked had been abandoned by more than 4 years and there was even one that had a dead author.
Why didn’t you use the whole amount that I had budgeted? I’m just confused about how this is supposed to be a good investment…. I wanted to support WordPress over Facebook, but this is so backward that it has no logic….
Thank you for responding!? Today I even got a hit from a blogger who has been dead for four years….? And, my first hit from tumblr.? Yes, it really is not worth it and I’m surprised that you haven’t gotten more complaints from other advertisers.
I am trying Blaze for the first time and have gotten a few hits from WordPress blogs, nothing from Tumblr. Do people even use Tumblr anymore? I’ve checked the links from the blogs that have clicked and ALL of them have had no new content in over FIVE years! This is awful targeting. I do have an art site and all have been art related, but they have basically been abandoned. You really need to target blogs that are active. I will keep on going for a few more days but am so disappointed in what I am seeing.
My site is https://www.artizanmade.com.
Thank you so much! I went through each link and just feel overwhelmed now…. You guys have such great reviews, but they all talk about the learning curve and it just seems like too much for me. I really don’t like the new block systems but I suppose that at some point I will have to give in and learn one of them. They are just not intuitive to me…. Meanwhile, I am thinking that maybe I should just go with one of the themes that use tools that I am used to and when I have enough money, come back to you and pay for customization to something that I can understand…. Sigh…. Well, I’ll keep chewing on what to do.
Thank you. The most important thing is communication and I got worried because there was no response on the forum in five days.
Thanks for finally responding! I have been getting more and more stressed with each day that passes with no word. If there is a problem with the customizations we have been doing, I need to know what it is so that the guy that is helping me can correct it.
It would be even better if you guys improved the plugin so that we wouldn’t have to tinker with it. Although it works out of the box, the design on the front end for the shops was unacceptable and there are many tools on the back end that are needed for normal inventory control. I realize that you are working on things and hope that you will take our needs seriously as you move forward.
Please let me know what I need to do on our end to get our shops going again. Hopefully, you can fix it when you take a look…
Thank you, Rimpa. I’m following you guys over there now. ??
I created a thread over there but have not had a response. I’m a month behind on this and anxious to move forward so I hope someone can fix the problems I mentioned soon…
How strange, @sandy-wcmp! I rarely get reports of emails not coming through… I also didn’t get a notice that you had posted here. But, no worries, I will go through the support forum.
Thank you!
Actually, I forgot that when you are logged in, you see the regular site. So, I think things are ok except that I need to figure out how to let people log in so that they can work on their shops. We are setting up a market place.
I disabled the plugin, was able to log in with the dummy account, reactivated coming soon and now the page I set up won’t show.
Well, I don’t know what happened. I am the only one working on the site. There was an update from you guys and then the images all showed up as broken links. I’ve put 21 posts in draft form and will work on them to add the images back, around 60 in each collection, over time.
Everything else is working on the site and you may say it’s not caused by your plugin, but others are also reporting images not showing in their galleries, so something is not working on your end.
At any rate, I’m moving on.
Well, photos have disappeared from the plugin folders before and it was very hard to edit them. I should have realized that it was an unstable setup earlier. It always took a long time, waiting for the galleries to open up so that new images could be loaded. And, when I tried to edit collections, I could do a couple of sets and then the plugin would block me out. Yes. Very disappointing.
