Applicable Products

AdRotate Pro 5.12.4 – Improved tracking pixel

AdRotate Professional 5.12.4 fixes the oversized tracking pixel and has a number of fixes and improvements for the dashboard.
Less notification banners, some bug fixes with saving adverts and redirects affecting a few users.

Expanding the Advert Generator

If you have ideas for templates/pre-made or pre-formatted ads that the Advert Generator could create/serve up please let me know in the comments below or through the contact form.
I’m thinking about expanding the generator options with templates but am unsure what kind of ads are popular and which ones would suit the generator.

Support options

The ticket support form now includes a dropdown menu where you can select an advert to include in your ticket. This generates a hashed version (same as the hash in the portability feature added last year) of your advert and its direct settings. I can import this code into my test site and see if the advert works or in many cases what’s wrong with it.

This will be a great tool to troubleshoot adverts that you can’t get to work but are unsure what’s going wrong.
For the time being no Group or Schedule settings are included. But perhaps that can be added later on if you guys like the feature. Let me know in the comments below or through the feedback option in the Ticket Support form.

Google Analytics 4

Earlier this year AdRotate Pro stats for Google Analytics 4 got overhauled. If you’re using GA4 you can read in the manuals below how to set it up.

My preferred method is still the Global Tag, this is of-course because it’s less of a hassle to get working. But both methods are interchangeable with AdRotate sending the same Events since the update. In older versions that wasn’t the case.

Changes in AdRotate Professional 5.12.4

  • [fix] Redirect when sending a test email notification
  • [fix] Tracking pixel not always 0x0 pixels in responsive themes
  • [fix] Saving a disabled advert giving unexpected errors
  • [change] Plugin update notification removed
  • [change] Updated error message for invalid license (de)activations

Analytics Spam Blocker 3.1.2 – More domains blocked!

A small update where 3 more domains are added to the default block list. These domains have been reported by users over the past months. Additionally, Analytics Spam Blocker of-course works on WordPress 6.2 as is now officially denoted in the documentation.

Are you reporting spam domains?

Since Analytics Spam Blocker 3 reporting domains is easier than ever, the domains you report get added to your own blocklist immediately. If a few people report the same domain it’ll be included in the standard blocklist in a future update. Reporting referral spam is an important measure to keep your Analytics such as Google Analytics or Matomo Analytics relevant and neat.

To get rid of referral spam the best way is to make it obsolete. This is of-course easily done with Analytics Spam Blocker. As always, stay vigilant and report referral spam domains through the form in your dashboard. When several people report the same domain it’ll be included in the blocklist in the next update.

When enough domains get reported, and consistently so, hopefully one day the internet will be free of referral spam. Only with your help we can make this happen – so keep reporting your referral spam domains via the Analytics Spam Blocker dashboard in the Tools menu.

Changes for Analytics Spam Blocker version 3.1.2

  • Added 3 more domains to the default blocklist

The download for Analytics Spam Blocker should pop up in your dashboard shortly. Or you can download the plugin here: https://ajdg.solutions/product/analytics-spam-blocker-for-wordpress/

AdRotate Banner Manager 5.12.1 – Available now!

A quick update where AdRotate Banner Manager 5.12.1 updates all translations and corrects a number of spelling and grammar errors in the dashboards.

I realized that I hadn’t updated the translation files for a while and some translations were missing a ton of strings. These have all been translated now, new ones added and an all new Spanish translation has been added. Also, the Dutch translation should now be more informal and easier to read.

If you find any weird quirks or nonsensical sentences, let me know of-course. Please include what you found and what you think it should look like/read as and I’ll update the translations where necessary.

Changes in AdRotate 5.12.1

  • [i18n] All translations updated
  • [fix] Several spelling errors
