I have around 60 ad settings though and really don’t want to re-enter them all lol. * Plugin Author [Thomas Maier](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webzunft/) * (@webzunft) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-after-update-62/#post-7169386) * [@xenokittten](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xenokittten/), * I applied a similar fix with 1.7.0.1 so you are save to use that version. * Upgrading to 1.7.0.1 will not do any damage to your ad settings that aren’t already done. I am not saying this because I expect problems, but if you have them, I would definitely like to learn details at [support@wpadvancedads.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-after-update-62/support@wpadvancedads.com?output_format=md). * Thanks Thomas * [Arnaud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xarj/) * (@xarj) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-after-update-62/#post-7169395) * My plugins update automatically with the JetPack feature so now I have lots of sites which are down. I can’t access wp-admin. * Would the auto update plugin feature update Advanced Ads to 1.7.0.1 on it’s own or it wouldn’t work because wordpress.com doesn’t have access to wp-admin? * Will I have no choice to update each site manually? * Thanks * Plugin Author [Thomas Maier](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webzunft/) * (@webzunft) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-after-update-62/#post-7169399) * Hi Arnaud, * I am almost sure that the automatic update will not work with the site down like this and you have to update manually this time. * Automatic updates where part of the problem in this case and 1.7.0.1 fixed that. * Thanks Thomas Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) The topic ‘Error after update’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/advanced-ads/assets/icon-256x256.gif?rev=2773443) * [Advanced Ads – Ad Manager & AdSense](https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-ads/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-ads/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/advanced-ads/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/advanced-ads/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/advanced-ads/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/advanced-ads/reviews/) * 15 replies * 10 participants * Last reply from: [Thomas Maier](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webzunft/) * Last activity: [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-after-update-62/#post-7169399) * Status: resolved
