I ran into a glitch when I uploaded a new ad yesterday. I have about 5 ads successfully running and rotating, then when I went to add another (which is a different image, but links to the same URL as the last one that I had added). For some reason, every refresh after that only showed those last two ads. All ads have a weight of 0. Has anyone else run into a situation like this where ads ‘stick’? Even clearing the cache didn’t change the ads to different ones. https://wordpress.org/plugins/adplugg/ Hi, I took a look at your account and one of your ads (the last active one) is targeted directly to the zone as well as to your placement – while your other ads are only targeted to the placement. The ads in the placement are set to rotate but since this ad is targeted directly to the zone, it bypasses the rotator. To fix, uncheck the zone targeting for the ad so that it can only make it into the zone via the placement/rotator. Please let us know if this doesn’t fix the issue. Sorry for any trouble, we’re working on putting in warnings for certain scenarios like this. Collin Krawll AdPlugg I am marking this issue as resolved. Please let us know if you are still having issues.
