TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for bloggers who sell ad space directly to advertisers rather than relying on ad networks. It automates displaying, timing, and tracking 125x125 ads, removing the need to manually edit templates or track expiration dates.

  • Automatic ad expiration by days run
  • Click tracking for ads
  • One or two column display
  • Manual or random ad order
  • Inactive ads archive
  • Placeholder ad display
  • Email notifications on ad expiration
  • Template tags for custom design

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WP125

If you want to arrange your ads in an unconventional manner, you can use the <?php wp125_single_ad(num); ?> template tag (replace "num" with the number of an ad slot). The tag will return one ad with minimal formatting (simply ). You can use multiple instances of the tag in your template to set lay your ad slots out in whatever way you choose.
When an ad's time duration is over, it disappears off your site, and is removed from the Active ads page in the WordPress admin. To access the record, just click the "Inactive" link on the Manage screen. The page should update to show all of your inactive ads.
Just select "I'll remove it manually" for the expiration date when you go to create the ad.
First, uncheck the Default Style box on the Settings page. This will remove the default styling. Next, make use of your mad CSS skills to re-style the ads. Here's what the default CSS looks like: `/* Styles for one-column display */ wp125adwrap_1c .wp125ad { margin-bottom:10px; } /* Styles for two-column display */ wp125adwrap_2c .wp125ad { width:125px; float:left; padding:10px; }`
If you absolutely must have your ads open in a new window when clicked, open the wp125.php file and find the define(... line near the top and remove the first // from the beginning.
Turn off AdBlock. It indiscriminately zaps page elements containing the word "ad," which means you're going to have a bad time managing ads...
The parent DIV that the ad code is inside probably isn't wide enough. You really need a minimum of 250px of horizontal space to have two ad columns, more if you use the default CSS. You could try reducing the CSS padding around the ads from 10px to something lower. #wp125adwrap_2c .wp125ad { padding:4px; }
