Want to check how an ad is performing? Log into the site. Want to make sure nothing’s about to expire? Log into every site, one by one. AdSanity for MainWP pulls all of it into one place. It lives on your MainWP dashboard and reads ad data from every managed site that’s running AdSanity and the free AdSanity MainWP Connector. Set your date range, sort your sites, and drill into any one of them without ever leaving the dashboard. What you get: * **Fleet-wide reporting.** Impressions, clicks, and CTR from every managed site, added up in one view with 7, 30, and 90-day ranges. * **A sortable per-site table.** See which sites are carrying the load and click through to any of them for the full picture. * **A trend chart.** A simple, dependency-free look at where your numbers are heading. * **Alerts for the stuff that’s easy to miss.** Expiring ads, outdated AdSanity installs, and missing or stale connectors, all flagged for you. * **An overview widget.** Published ads, ads expiring soon, and connector health, right on your MainWP overview page. A few things to know before you start. This is a MainWP dashboard extension, not an AdSanity add-on, so it runs on your dashboard site and doesn’t need AdSanity installed there. Every site you want to track needs AdSanity core plus the free AdSanity MainWP Connector. #### New to AdSanity? Managing ads on a WordPress site usually means pasting ad code into your theme and forgetting where you put it. A campaign ends, the ad keeps running, and you’re digging through template files trying to pull it. [AdSanity](https://adsanityplugin.com/?utm_source=wporg&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=adsanity-for-mainwp&utm_content=overview) handles all of that. It’s a WordPress ad manager that lets you build image ads, network ads like AdSense, or your own custom code, then group them and place them anywhere on your site with a single block or shortcode. You set a start and end date, AdSanity tracks impressions and clicks, and you finally know what’s working. #### AdSanity add-ons When you need more, there’s an add-on for it: * **[Ad Block Detection](https://adsanityplugin.com/add-ons/ad-block-detection/?utm_source=wporg&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=adsanity-for-mainwp&utm_content=ad-block-detection):** Ad blockers quietly eat into your numbers.

Build your own ad dimensions and reuse them across the site. * **[Google Analytics Tracking](https://adsanityplugin.com/add-ons/google-analytics-tracking-integration/?utm_source=wporg&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=adsanity-for-mainwp&utm_content=google-analytics-tracking):** Send impressions and clicks to GA4 so your ad data lives with the rest of your analytics. * **[Image Cache Buster](https://adsanityplugin.com/add-ons/image-cache-buster/?utm_source=wporg&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=adsanity-for-mainwp&utm_content=image-cache-buster):** Keep animated GIF ads from getting cached and going stale, so every view shows the real thing. * **[Impressions](https://adsanityplugin.com/add-ons/impressions/?utm_source=wporg&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=adsanity-for-mainwp&utm_content=impressions):** Cap an ad by daily or lifetime impressions and deliver exactly what you sold. * **[Ordered Ad Group Widget](https://adsanityplugin.com/add-ons/ordered-ad-group-widget/?utm_source=wporg&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=adsanity-for-mainwp&utm_content=ordered-ad-group-widget):** Show a group of ads in the exact order you want, every single time. * **[Rotating Ad Widget](https://adsanityplugin.com/add-ons/rotating-ad-widget/?utm_source=wporg&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=adsanity-for-mainwp&utm_content=rotating-ad-widget):** Rotate a group of ads on a timer so one spot can serve more than one advertiser. * **[User Role Ad Visibility](https://adsanityplugin.com/add-ons/user-role-ad-visibility-2/?utm_source=wporg&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=adsanity-for-mainwp&utm_content=user-role-ad-visibility):** Hide ads from members, subscribers, or any user role you pick. * **[Weighted Ads](https://adsanityplugin.com/add-ons/weighted-ads/?utm_source=wporg&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=adsanity-for-mainwp&utm_content=weighted-ads):** Give your best-paying campaigns more weight so they show up more often.

Install and activate MainWP Dashboard on your dashboard site. 2. Upload the `adsanity-for-mainwp` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` and activate it. 3. On each managed site, install AdSanity core and the AdSanity – MainWP Connector. 4. Open MainWP > Extensions > AdSanity for MainWP and run the connectivity test. ## FAQ ### Do I need AdSanity on my MainWP dashboard site? Nope. AdSanity for MainWP runs on the dashboard and talks to your managed sites through MainWP, so there’s no need to install AdSanity on the dashboard itself. ### What has to be on each managed site? Two things: AdSanity core and the free AdSanity MainWP Connector. The Connector is what hands your ad data back to the dashboard, so a site won’t show up in your reports until both are active. ### Is this plugin free? Yes. AdSanity for MainWP is free, and so is the Connector that runs on your managed sites. You’ll need AdSanity core on those sites, but the MainWP pieces don’t cost anything. ### Will it slow down my managed sites? It shouldn’t. Most of the reporting rides along with the regular MainWP sync instead of hitting every site on each page load, so the overhead stays low. The bigger date- range pulls only happen when you ask for them. ### Can I create or deploy ads from the dashboard? Not from here. AdSanity for MainWP is focused on reporting and monitoring across your fleet. You still create and manage the ads themselves on each site with AdSanity. ### Does it work without MainWP? No. This is a MainWP dashboard extension, so it needs the [MainWP Dashboard](https://wordpress.org/plugins/mainwp/) plugin installed to do anything. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “AdSanity for MainWP” is open source software.
