Why do some dashboard notifications look so ugly

If a dashboard notification misses its layout or looks out of shape try clearing your browser cache.
Some ad blockers block parts of the AdRotate dashboard, check out this page to make an exception for your website in adblockers – Whitelist your site.

It is good plugin, works well and does not show config problems as many others do. Congratulations! Please donate to this team instead of being captive by the subscription thieves out there. Is good idea to support one payment apps and donation apps... Is a good application and deserves support Thanks

Smooth and efficient

I switched to Ad Rotate from a premium plugin that had expired. It's much better that what I previously paid for, and I get it for free!! Not a need but it would be nice to have a setting that can be turned on to set the width and height of ad spaces before the images load to reduce cumulative layout shift. Checkout the Google core web vitals update that's coming up for more info.

So much better than rolling my own

For a while (3+ years) I was manually managing ads. Now I'm using AdRotate, and I doubt I'll ever look back. If you have one or two Google Ads, sure, your own is fine. I've got a bunch now, multiple ad networks too, and they often have expiry dates. AdRotate makes it easy to get all that done! Why four stars? It's cosmetic. 1. The sidebar icon is green and not an SVG that can match the color pattern of my wp-admin screen, so it stands out unnecessarily. 2. Every page promotes AdRotate Pro. I get it, I do, but I don't need it yet, and all those reminders feels naggy, especially since the first two menu items are promotional. 3. The middle section of options on the per-ad edit page are greyed out (being pro or features I don't use) and I can't hide them or dismiss them. Which means when I add a new ad, I do the basic work and then scroll all the way down to set the groups. 4. Usage is repeated multiple times on the per-ad edit page. 5. It would be nice that if statistics (in settings) is set to DISABLED, that the menu item went away. 6. The Dashboard Banner for notifications is on every page. It would be nice to just have a Main Dash widget ( https://developer.wordpress.org/apis/handbook/dashboard-widgets/ ) But again, those are ALL cosmetic. None interfere with anything functional, and I am happy as two clams with this decision to use AdRotate.

The best i know and work well

I'm a beginner in wp, and for what i need now it's a free version. It's works, it's simple, it's easy. Enough for now. But in future, after grow, if i need more it's possible buy the premium version.
