Hi There, it's been a while not begining a new topic
well, Today I have a problem with simple ads plugin,
what I love about this plugin is its idea of posting 2 different ads at the top and the bottom of every single post or page on you website.
I'm using wpmu 2.9.2, buddypress 1.2.2.1 and scholar theme
I installed simple ads as illustrated and everything went smooth. Last night I generated 2 google codes for before_content & after_content and I put them there and I activated them to be displayed in posts as well as pages & made sure those ads are shown on the main blog. I saved everything & waited to see those ads for about an hour, but nothing. I thought at the begining it's google thing may be they didn't activate that codes yet, so i decided to go to sleep.
Today before washing my face even I looked to my pages and posts but still nothing
I suspected every thing except simple ads plugin, when I checked the simple ads panel I found Nothing, literally nothing ( No codes, all sitting disappeared).
I inserted those codes again and saved everything making sure those ads are shown on main blog. checked the posts again and again No ads
I went back and checked my codes and I found them gone again. so simple ads is not saving the codes for Now
any Ideas ?? please I need This plugin & I love it

Thank you James for passing by, I really appreciate what you guys doing around here.
I followed the installation instructions literally. I installed the simple ads in mu-plugins directory, No activation required and I went to the advertising panel and added 2 codes in place and switched ads on main blog too but Nothing appeared.
I checked ads panel again and I found it empty, no code in it.
I tried adding some texts as Andrew suggested but nothing appeared neither on posts or pages and and advertising panel are empty again
I wish I can grab some photos for what am I trying to do but I can't 'cause nothing appears to grab :(
Thanks for help guys and appreciate your great efforts

Hiya,
Can you please find two rows in the wp_sitemeta table and let me know if they're empty. One row has a meta_key value of "advertising_before_code" and the other has a meta_key value of "advertising_after_code". This will let me know if data is getting saved to the db.

Hmm. I can't seem to replicate this problem. Would you be ok with providing me with WPMU/FTP/PHPMyAdmin access to your site so I can see what's going on? If you're ok with providing those details just send them via our contact form.

Sorry for the delay on this (busy week). I took a look at your site and the problem seems to be with your site or your hosting setup (hostgator is known to have weird issues). Basically data is being posted twice in some cases. The first time it's posted with the correct values and the second time the values are all empty. That's why it seemed like nothing ever saved.
So what I did was make you a custom version of the plugin that will work around the issues so you can use the plugin. You'll want to make a backup of the plugin in case you need to restore the file for some reason later on.

Hiya,
Does it work if you enter something like "TEST" into the ad code field?
Thanks.

sorry to bump this issue again but I didn't find any answer yet

Yeh, it's been a pretty hectic day, sorry for not getting back to you sooner.
So.. .clearly it's not to do with the ad code, but rather stuff being saved to your dbase.
Or, that for some reason the code isn't being inserted correctly.
I'm not entirely sure why this would be the case though... have you had trouble saving any other content for other plugins?
Also, you have placed the plugin in mu-plugins rather than plugins and activated it?
Could you also give us a link to the pages where you are wanting to see the ads?
Cheers, James
