I’ve been getting quite a few mails from people that had problems getting the plugin to work. Turns out that the installation procedure, which creates the necessary database table didn’t run correctly when activating the plugin. I never noticed the problem on my own blogs because I already had the table created with an earlier version of the plugin.
The problems started when I uploaded the plugin to the wordpress.org plugins repository. My earlier versions where running in a folder named ‘ad buttons’ which contains a space in the name. The name of the folder has been changed by wordpress to ‘ad-buttons’ (with a hyphen) The code has been fixed to work correctly now and has been tested on a fresh install of wordpress. If you had trouble activating the plugin, just upgrade to the latest version, deactivate and then activate it again.
If you are running into any other problems with the plugin, don’t hesitate to contact me!
I’m super excited about your plugin, and I’ve installed, activated, and created an ad button. Can’t see it on my blog. Ideas? Thank you!
Brooke, make sure you add the sidebar widget or the plugin will not know where to show the ads. To ad the widget go to ‘appearance->widgets’ on your wordpress admin panel. You should find an Ad Buttons widget there, simply drag it over to the desired position in your sidebar.
Ah! Thank you! Lookin’ good. Soon as we’ve built a following, I’ll be an ad buttons fool!
