Why do some dashboard notifications look so ugly

If a dashboard notification misses its layout or looks out of shape try clearing your browser cache.
Some ad blockers block parts of the AdRotate dashboard, check out this page to make an exception for your website in adblockers – Whitelist your site.

Reviews

Excellent Plugin

June 1, 2022
This is an excellent ad plugin, easy to setup and use, and very useful for advertisement. Apart from the functionality of the plugin, the Portuguese translation in the backend needs improvement as there are many errors in the translated words and phrases. But the plugin itself is awesome.

Basic install does not work properly.

April 1, 2022
I set up an ad group with two simple banner ads using the standard or default configuration for my ads, so nothing fancy or complicated and was unable to get my ads to consistently display using a widget, it would either show one of my ads or no ad at all, but seemed to log impressions for the blank ad that I would usually see. No errors or warnings are shown in the JavaScript browser console and my images were hosted locally and not blocked, and would sometimes show. I use WP Super Cache, but clearing or disabling the cache plugin had no effect.

ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT

February 21, 2022
This plugin is useless. I don't use any AdBlocker, but ads are not showing, because: ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT
