AdRotate 3.8.3.4 and AdRotate Pro 3.8.3.4

And before I pop off to bed -

Some people reported that group creation broke. Somehow the code to add the wrapper to the database got lost. I need a break I think, making stupid mistakes like that.

Anyway, this patch fixes it. Also to avoid future confusion and complaints from Automattic who suddenly feel I don’t follow their plugin guidelines or whatever. The link/credit thingy has been removed from the plugin.

Changelog:

  • [fix] Group creation and editingĀ (pro)
  • [change] “I’m using AdRotate” removed from plugin to conform with guidelines

Get it! get it!

Free users – Your patch has been submitted for review. Automattic is very picky. This might take a while.
Pro users – You can download the update from your account right now.
