 * Hi (again), another problem, don’t know if this could be an incomparability with
   my ad system (google publisher beta) or not but wanted to ask anyway.
 * When I go to the “advance” tab and scroll to the “Choose Levels to Hide Ads From:”
   section, I click the desired membership levels, click save and all looks well,
   the boxes stay ticked.
 * However, when I come away from the “advance” tab the setting seems to reset its
   self so ads appear for ALL users…
 * any way to fix this or not?

 * First, just FYI that setting will only work if you update your theme to use the
   pmpro_displayAds() function or are using one of the integrated plugins (not Google
   Publisher Beta).
 * Second, I’m also seeing the issue where selected categories are not really saving.
   We will look into this and get it fixed ASAP.

 * I have this fixed in the dev version (should go live today or tomorrow). You 
   can see the update here if you’d like to patch your version sooner:

 * How do I do this?
 * I’m a newb and don’t know that much about how it all works. I tried creating 
   a functions.php file in the child-theme but got an error saying that it can’t
   load the function because it was already loaded by PMPro. I guess that’s not 
   the solution, but what is? I’m using Quick Adsense, btw.
 * I was going to just install Easy Adsense, but have you seen the reviews? Several
   people are claiming that it’s using the plugin to insert ads from the creator’s
   account to skim ad space off your site.
 * Of course, I know it’s the net and people can say anything, but I haven’t seen
   that many accusatory and negative reviews about a plugin before, so I’m just 
   wary.

    You 
   don’t need to redefine the pmpro_displayAds() function. This function is already
   there for you to use wherever you want in your theme files. Does that clear things
   up?
