The site has been through more plastic surgery than Wayne Newton, folks! I’ve integrated a new theme, reworked the front page completely, and made everything easier to navigate, search, and find the relevant links quickly.  The old site was really tough for finding anything and even tougher to know where to look in the first [...]

I checked my code and I made a horrible logic mistake which has resulted in the loss of ads for some people, depending on your board’s settings. I have reverted the change and 1.0.6.18 is now out there that will prevent ads from being deleted prematurely.  I have also added the ability to enable/disable ads [...]

I missed two places that still had the backslash problem (AdSense codes and Widget header/footer).  The same problem existed there as was fixed in the last release for the ad layout codes. I’ve fixed that bug in 1.0.6.17, along with an expiration problem where ads that shouldn’t expire, expired rather often (every 1 hour) if [...]

Something I did in the last couple of updates caused the AWPCP Admin Panel to go crazy when you saved your HTML ad layout code.  Backslashes appeared like mosquitos and you couldn’t get rid of them!  Each successive click on “Save Settings” would double your problem. I’ve fixed that bug in 1.0.6.16, along with the [...]

I’ve been on a ruthless bug hunt for the past week or so.  I’ve fixed a number of issues brought up in the support forum.  Thanks to everyone who brought those to my attention.  The full list is available in the Changelog on WordPress.org. In addition, I’ve added support for an often-requested feature:  thumbnails in [...]

This release of AWPCP also includes some [...]

Bugs crop up all the time, but this one was critical enough to demand immediate fix and release.  Version 1.0.6.13 released today clears up an issue with posting paid ads, where you saw “output” during the submit phase and no redirect to PayPal.  Thanks to beattle in the support forum for finding it and letting [...]

After extensive testing, I can confidently say that there are no major issues with WP 3.0 and AWPCP.  While working on this testing effort, I also ran into an unrelated issue with an up-and-coming plugin:  Simple Facebook Connect by Otto.  My plugin was out of compliance on standard WordPress shortcode usage and users of SFC [...]

Sorry for the rapid-fire releases, but 1.0.6.8 contained a problem where it wouldn’t update the internal version and failed to update the short codes in your admin panel to support the actual fix of $awpcpvisitwebsite appearing! It’s fixed with 1.0.6.9.  Also in this release is the new feature of the ad link showing up in [...]

1.0.6.8 is available as of today, 4-June-2010. This release addresses a bug with some short codes ($awpcpvisitwebsite) that didn’t work. As always, please let me know if you have any problems or issues with the release.  Don’t forget to use the new support forum:  http://forum.awpcp.com!
