AdRotate Pro version 5.22 fixes and improves a number of things, including the sorting or tables. Which should now reliably work for dates. IP Address detection is vastly improved and made smarter by looking at extra, more modern, headers. Enhancing AdRotate Pro’s ability to spot proxy and redirect servers. This helps with more accurate Geo Targeting.
Version 5.22 also improves compatibility with the new AJdG API. Making it faster and more lightweight for even quicker response times for Geo Targeting, License management and Update notifications. These are iterative updates to the server that are made available too all plugins using it.
For AdRotate Pro’s dashboard, a number of cleanup actions have been done, improving bits of code here-and-there. Removing the not-so-popular dashboard banners and rewording menus, blocks and descriptions in a bunch of locations as well as small dashboard tweaks and improvements to make the plugin more usable in general.
I’ve also gone through all translations and removed all incorrect and outdated translations from all languages except Dutch – I know Dutch, so the faulty stuff in there has been updated to current wording.
If you’re up for completing the other translations, let me know through the contact form and we’ll work on that. This includes the Spanish, German, French and Italian translations for example. I can’t find affordable, good, software to make those myself anymore.
AdRotate Professional License shakeup
To simplify licensing, pricing and managing things the 5 available licenses have been re-done. The Lite license has been discontinued due to lack of interest. And the Developer license has been discontinued as well. To make up the loss of the Developer License the Multi license gets more activations.
The Multi license now allows for 20 websites/activations instead of the traditional 5 and is priced accordingly at €199 Euros. And finally, the Duo license has been priced more logically at €79 Euros.
Currently active Lite licenses have the restrictions removed and now acts as a Single license. So for those few who bought it, starting with AdRotate Pro 5.22 and onwards, you’ll get the same features as the Single license.
Likewise the Developer license has been largely removed from the plugin in terms of wording and descriptions. But will continue to work mostly the same.
