AdRotate Pro version 5.20 is a security update fixing a low-risk issue with saving widgets. This flaw was reported last week by a user. The data inputted into the widget form was not properly checked before storing it to the database. This has now been fixed.
Along with that the code that saves widgets has been updated and modernized a little bit. A few unused lines of codes have been removed and a few more generic code changes have been applied.
Along with these improvements AdRotate Pro 5.20 is the first version to use the new update system for plugins. Future updates will be served from a new API. This is a background thing and the update routine remains exactly the same, but the method of checking for, and downloading updates has been updated to use more modern code. Making things more fast and efficient.
If you run into any issues with update checks, downloading and installing updates, please let me know as soon as possible so I can help you with it, but also to fix the issue you’re having.
AdRotate Professional Lite
To accomodate the low-budget group of users from AdRotate a new license type has been introduced – AdRotate Professional Lite. In its basic form this is simply a Single License. Except with AdRotate Professional Lite a few features have been removed from the plugin.
It is a lower license tier after all.
AdRotate Professional Lite does not get Ticket Support, check the knowledge base and manuals in it to figure out how to use AdRotate. On top of that, AdRotate Geo is not supported. And remote stats collecting (Through Matomo and Google Analytics) has been removed as well as a few advertiser related features. You can review all the differences in features on the Feature comparison tab in every AdRotate product page.
If you need those features consider getting a Single or Duo license instead.
