Doesn't work, annoying to uninstall

    First of all, it doesn’t work.

    I lost an afternoon to trying to get it to work, and the developer’s forums are full of poorly written English and boilerplate responses to user questions. It’s STILL not clear to me whether the ID is supposed to be my Google Adsense ID or the ad unit’s ID. I tried both, and neither work.

    Furthermore, uninstalling this thing is a pain in the butt by WordPress plugin standards. You have to go in via ftp to remove it. Apparently, this plugin is a unique snowflake that is too special to appear on the normal plugins page with all those dirty commonfolk plugins.

    Here’s how you remove it:
    Log into FTP and navigate to public_html (or wherever your site is kept on your server)
    Find your site’s folder
    Find your wp-content folder
    Find your plugins folder
    Delete the adsense-plugin folder

    The creator of this plugin has its own plugin dashboard, accessible by clicking “BWS Plugins” on your left side toolbar. This would have been a good place for them to put an “Uninstall” button.

    After removing this ad plugin I tried Adsense Explosion, which was up and running in minutes. I have ads now. Bravo!

    Thank you MBGrant. I could have lost a lot of time I can’t afford to lose on that plugin! Trying Adsense Explosion now…
