=== Wbcom Designs - BuddyPress Ads === Contributors: vapvarun, wbcomdesigns Tags: buddypress, ads, advertising, banner, activity Requires at least: 3.0.1 Tested up to: 6.5.0 Stable tag: 1.5.5 License: GPLv2 or later License URI: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html Show ads inside the BuddyPress activity stream. No longer actively developed: new sites should use WB Ad Manager. == Description == > **This plugin is no longer actively developed.** For a new site, use [WB Ad Manager](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wb-ads-rotator-with-split-test/), our free ad plugin with ad rotation, A/B split testing, scheduling and 16+ placements, with BuddyPress, bbPress and Jetonomy built in. Existing sites can keep using BuddyPress Ads. **BuddyPress Ads** places your own banners, rich content and ad network code inside the BuddyPress activity stream. Each ad is a post under the WB Ads menu, with an on/off switch in the list, so you can prepare ads ahead of time and turn them on when a campaign starts. BuddyPress must be active. = What you get = **Three ad types** * Plain Text and Code - paste AdSense, Amazon or any other ad network code, HTML or shortcodes. * Rich Content - build the ad in the WordPress editor with images, formatting and shortcodes. * Image Ad - upload an image, set its size and the link it opens. **Activity stream placement** * Before or after an activity entry, inside the entry content, or before, inside or after the comments. * Choose the sitewide, group or member activity stream. * Show the ad after a set number of activities, and optionally repeat it. * Place any ad elsewhere with the shortcode `[ads-shortcode ads_id="123"]`. Each ad shows its own shortcode in the editor. **Targeting and layout** * Show an ad to logged-in members, logged-out visitors, or both. * Show it on desktop, mobile, or both. * Alignment, margins, a clearfix option, font size, and text and background colors. = Links = * [Plugin Homepage](https://wbcomdesigns.com/downloads/buddypress-ads/) * [WB Ad Manager](https://wbadmanager.com/features/) * [Support](https://wbcomdesigns.com/support/) == More from Wbcom Designs == * **[WB Ad Manager](https://wbadmanager.com/features/)** - Our free ad plugin with rotation, A/B split testing, scheduling and 16+ placements, including BuddyPress, bbPress and Jetonomy. * **[BuddyX](https://buddyxtheme.com/features/)** - A free community theme on WordPress.org for BuddyPress sites. * **[Reign](https://reigntheme.com/best-wordpress-community-theme/)** - A community theme for BuddyPress and BuddyBoss sites. * **[BuddyNext](https://buddynext.com/features/)** - Our standalone community plugin with a feed, spaces, profiles, messaging and moderation, for new sites that do not need BuddyPress. == Installation == 1. Make sure BuddyPress is installed and active. 2. In your WordPress admin go to Plugins > Add New, search for "Wbcom Designs - BuddyPress Ads", then click Install Now and Activate. 3. Go to WB Ads > Add New WB Ads, pick an ad type, add your content, choose the activity position, and publish. == Frequently Asked Questions == = Is this plugin still maintained? = It is no longer actively developed. Existing sites can keep using it. For new sites, and for new features such as rotation, split testing and scheduling, use [WB Ad Manager](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wb-ads-rotator-with-split-test/). = How do I move to WB Ad Manager? = Install WB Ad Manager and recreate your ads there; ads from this plugin do not move across automatically. The two plugins use separate ad types, so you can run both while you switch, then deactivate BuddyPress Ads. = Do I need BuddyPress? = Yes. The plugin places ads in the BuddyPress activity stream and deactivates itself when BuddyPress is not active. = Does it work with BuddyNext? = No. The ad positions hook into the BuddyPress activity stream, and BuddyNext has its own feed. == Screenshots == 1. The ad editor - choose Plain Text and Code, Rich Content or Image Ad, and copy the ad's shortcode. 2. The ads list - switch each ad on or off and copy its shortcode. 3. Ads shown between posts in the BuddyPress activity stream. == Changelog == = 1.5.5 = * Fix: (#66,#68,#69)Fixed ads position issue on activity feed * Fix: Compatibility check with WordPress 6.5.0 = 1.5.4 = * Fix: BP v12 Fixes * Fix: Updated class name and remove dynamic class name = 1.5.3 = * Fix: PHPCS fixes = 1.5.2 = * Fix: PHPCS fixes * Fix: (#60) Not processing shortcodes * Fix: Plugin redirect issue when multiple plugins activate at the same time * Fix: (#59) Hide admin notice error * Fix: (#51) First position is wrong = 1.5.1 = * Fix- Fixed BuddyBoss admin notice issue * Fix- (#54) Fixed can not create an image ad * Fix- Fixed copy shortcode option UI managed = 1.5.0 = * Fix- Hide admin notices * Fix- Fixed string mistakes * Fix- Updated admin UI code = 1.4.0 = * Fix- (#48) Fixed HTML is not rendering * Fix- (#49) changed admin ads type description * Fix- (#43) Added Remove image option for image ads * Fix- (#44) Fixed image ads URL setting issue * Fix- (#42) Fixed warning issue displayed on the front-end * Fix- (#47) Fixed warning issue displaying on single group for logout user = 1.3.2 = * Fix- (#41)Fixed Google Ad Issue with other ads type * Fix- (#34)Fixed when not selected option in activity type, ads not showing * Fix- (#30)Fixed when select image in Rich Content, it is not showing frontend = 1.3.1 = * Fix- Removed install plugin button from wrapper * Fix- Fixed warning issue = 1.3.0 = * Fix- (#28)Fixed Ads are showing repeatedly * Fix- (#29)changed shortcode text * Fix- (#27)Fixed google ads script issue with rich content ads * Fix- Update Code for CSS and JS Loading * Fix- Load Admin CSS and JS on Plugins Settings Pages * Fix- Changed Plugin documentation link = 1.2.0 = * Fix- js and iframe support = 1.1.0 = * Fix- PHPCS Fixes = 1.0.0 = * first version.
