It is no longer included. If you are able [please consider making a PayPal donation](https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=martin%2efitzpatrick%40gmail%2ecom&item_name=Donation%20to%20mutube%2ecom¤cy_code=USD&bn=PP%2dDonationsBF&charset=UTF%2d8). = Why does changing Ad Format/Dimensions sometimes not change the size of the ad? = For some ad networks (e.g. WidgetBucks, Adroll, etc.) the dimensions of ads are managed through the online interface. There is no way to change these settings from within the WordPress system that would work reliably. You do not have to update these dimension settings if you update your Ad online, however, it can be useful in correctly identifying 'Alternate Ads' for AdSense blocks. = Do I still need AdSense Manager now I can manage ads through Google's system? = No, and Yes. While the original purpose of being able to modify colours etc. without digging into code is now gone (although still supported) there are other advantages to AdSense Manager. For example: positioning. Additionally there are some plans afoot to provide intelligent ad placing methods to make all this work even better. = How do I place Ad code at the top, bottom, left, right, etc. of the page? = There is a (nice tutorial here)[https://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/adsense/] which explains positioning using code in template files. You can use this together with AdSense Manager: just place the ad code tags where it says "place code here". = Upgrading has gone a bit wrong... What can I do? = To revert to an old copy of your Ad database, go to your Dashboard and add ?adsensem-revert-db=X to your URL. Replace X with the major version that you want to revert to. If the latest version to work was 2.1, enter: ?adsensem-revert-db=2 Load the page and AdSense Manager will revert to that version of the database and re-attempt the upgrade. = What else do you have planned? = 1. Ad Zones to allow grouping of ads at a particular location, and switching depending on the visitors language, country, etc. 1. Auto-inserting of ads into posts based on configurable rules (i.e. All Posts, 2nd Paragraph) 1. Localisation: multi-language support 1. Support for Amazon Affiliates and any other networks I hear about. = Where can I get more information? = [Complete usage instructions are available here.](https://www.mutube.com/mu/getting-started-with-adsense-manager-3x) == Change Log == By popular demand, below are the changes for versions listed.
