    The background tasks scheduler updated. Seems to be working. Thank you again.

    Delete expired trackerdata: Not scheduled!

    I reset background tasks. Now the current date shows up: July 13, 2026 20:05. We’ll see what happens at 20:05 tonight.

    Thank you for spending time on this. I appreciate your plugin and support.

    Sorry, I always thought you were handling support in these forums for free and pro. Probably didn’t need to mention the Pro part. Will look into the support links on your site. Thank you!

    The query is consistently slow, not just one time. I gave one sample entry in the error logs, but there are dozens of the same error, from different ipaddress and bannerid combos.

    Some examples of the times:

    • Time_s: 10.077903
      Time_ms: 10077.903000
    • Time_s: 5.853397
      Time_ms: 5853.397000
    • Time_s: 0
      Time_ms: 266.009

    The longest running banner has been shown 13,000,000 times and clicked 800 times (maybe it’s time to explore that banner’s CTR lol).

    Most of the entries are just wp_adrotate_tracker. There was one really long UPDATE wp_options SET option_value that contained the other queries mentioned above. Also one instance of wp_adrotate_schedule. I think these are not the same issue and could be related to making a lot of changes to banners a few days ago (editing, adding banner media, resetting some stats, etc.)

    Hi @mcurly, an update to this… Google Image (Scraping) method definitely isn’t working still. With Bing Images fallback, it was returning images that have nothing to do with the post title or content. In one case, a user even sent an email about an image that really should not have been used. So I had to disable the Bing fallback for now.

    Interestingly, Search Based On is set to Title (Full Title) in Automatic settings, with First Result as Image Selection. But when searching the titles on Bing Images, the image used by Magic Post Thumbnail is nowhere to be found. Curious as to what the Bing Images fallback entails, since there isn’t a tab to select options. Where there any filters applied to fallback searches?

    Also, since you were using Bing Images as a fallback (even though as it is, it doesn’t work effectively), is there any reason why it wasn’t added to the Image Banks and Banks Settings options created for it?

    Good ideas to consider. Thank you.

    Thank you for the reply. The point is that the the WP dashboard is off limits, for various reasons, and sites with actual registered users tend to use the front end. With a front end already in place for user profiles, submissions, forum, WooCommerce, etc., it would be confusing and not make sense to the users to find themselves in a new dashboard setting in the back end of WP. I want to start offering ads directly to advertisers, but a plugin without front end ad management, or at least stats, isn’t ideal. I think part of the reason I went Pro was to have advertiser pages. Thank you again for the effort you put into this plugin, the excellent free version, and great support. As a pro user, I would prefer to continue using AdRotate, but will have to find another solution moving forward.

    Thank you @adegans for the reply, but this appears to only work with sites using the stock admin area. Not for sites depending on frontend dashboards like WooCommerce or Ultimate Member, correct? Much fewer sites use the WP admin area for users than before.

    Thank you for the quick reply! Implementing the snippet now and will report back shortly. 5 star plugin and support.

    I have been testing the plugin since the update 2 weeks ago and it is excellent! It is so cool to see feature requests being implemented so well.

    I have tested all of the mail logging and mail queue plugins that I could find, and Mail Queue is the best. It has already helped with slowing down mail sending and finding issues with bot sign-ups, etc.

    Thank you again!

    Anyone wanting to prevent use of spaces in usernames, the above code is incorrect.

    The correct answer is here, with code below placed in the functions.php (I still think this would be a good option to put in the settings).

    add_action( 'um_submit_form_register', 'um_submit_form_register_no_spaces', 9, 1 );
    
    function um_submit_form_register_no_spaces( $args ) {
    
        if ( isset( $args['user_login']) && strpos( trim( $args['user_login'] ), ' ' ) > 0 ) {
            UM()->form()->add_error( 'user_login', __( 'You are not allowed to have spaces in your username.', 'ultimate-member' ) );
        }
    }

    UM Team, is there a way to add to that function to also prevent use of capitalization in usernames?

    Better than nothing! At least until you find a way to keep using the Google method. Thank you so much for working on this!

    Thank you for the reply!

    I think I am reading these as contradictory statements: “You are not setting up anything that will be lost after deactivation. The plugin does not write anything to the database.” If it doesn’t write anything to the database, then it will be lost upon deactivation, right?

    If it fills in all of the missing titles, then the plugin is deactivated, do the titles that were filled in when activated become missing/empty titles again, or will the filled in titles remain unchanged from the action taken by the plugin while it was activated?

    Thank you again for your hard work on this plugin.

    Thank you for the reply.

    Can you please add the code below to wp-config.php and check if it solves the issue? I have tried basic settings but can not replicate the issue.

    define('AIOS_NO_FIREWALL', true);

    Done. No difference.

    Most of the options are enabled in this install. Will try some other things (deactivate other plugins, test different theme) before sharing settings.
