 * I keep getting these messages and errors.
 * 1st error:
    The ad was saved but has an issue which might prevent it from working
   properly. Review the yellow marked ad.
 * Second Error:
    Error, no Ad ID set! Check your syntax!
 * I can’t add a simple ad. I was able to do this before but not any more. What 
   is the fix or how can i work around this?

 * Same Issue here…
    When I click ‘Add New’ it starts with this error message in
   the Preview Area.

 * SOLUTION for me: I discovered I had not finalized the update. It appears on top
   of the usual pages and it says something like:
    “You are almost done. To finalize
   your update please click on the button on the left” It is a little bit confusing
   because the button says’ UPDATE’ (or UPGRADE) and initially I thought it was 
   for upgrading to the PRO version, so I did not proceed. Once done, it redirects
   to a new page, that asks for donation (optional)
 * Now, adding a new ad works fine.
 * I hope it helps..

 * Because the automated trigger for updates was unreliable for some people I switched
   to the manual way. The big obvious banner at the top which prompts you to finish
   the upgrade.
 * Just to point out;
    You are redirected to the “general info” page (because it
   has to redirect somewhere…) – Which also happens to have a donate button on the
   free version. I do not actively solicit for donations. Donations are always optional.

 * I hope my SOLUTION post did not imply that you ‘force’ anyone for DONATION or
   that the banner is misleading.
    If so it looked due to my bad english, I apologize.
 * It was my mistake that I thought the banner was for UPGRADE and not to FINALIZE
   UPDATE. (PERHAPS IF YOU had the word FINALIZE inside the green button would work
   better for us who are ‘hasty’ readers)
 * Anyway, I wanted to clarify that and to THANK YOU for your support and the great
   plugin..

 * [@ralloux](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ralloux/), it did not. But you
   know how people can be… So I just pointed it out to be completely transparant.
 * For future versions I have changed the banner button to show “update now” instead
   of “upgrade now” this should make it a bit more obvious that it’s not a upgrade
   to AdRotate Pro 🙂
