Asked by raven2099
raven2099 – thanks for the query. I am no longer supporting Advertising Manager. OpenX still supports it I believe. You may want to try their forums or twitter to get an answer.
Sorry I cannot be more helpful!

 

That means they do not support and stop for update for the version.

And now, is the time for WordPress 3.3, you need a newer version Advertisment Plugin for your Ads.

I’m here to write a note, how I move from Advertising Manager to AdRotate in WordPress.

Install AdRotate

Firstly, install the Plugin ,  AdRotate.

Ad Management

Code Replacing

Replace the old code to the new code.

The old code is [ad#Google Adsense 468 x 60], we would like to replace to [ adrotate banner=”1″].

So we use the plugin Search & Replace

We need to replace the code in content only, so

  • Tick the Content
  • Search for  [ad#Google Adsense 468 x 60]
  • Replaced with  [ adrotate banner=”1″]

 

Search and replace

Search & Replace the code

Search and replace success

Just follow the step to replace all your other Ads like

[ad#Google Adsense 468 x 60]
[ad#Google Adsense 160 x 600]
[ad#Google Adsense 300 x 250]
[ad#Google Adsense 336 x 280]

Make sure you do backup before start do anything, because this is direct access to your database.

Remember to deactive all those plugin after replaced.
