[Pro] Automated split tests
Advanced Ads might automate the split-testing for me by monitoring clicks and then automatically "selecting" a winner to continue showing, like AdSense does.

[Pro|Selling] Email notification before an ad expires
Send an email notification to notify e.g. 5 day before an ad expires. That way we can go back to the client to see if they would like to renew and keep track of each individual ad that expires on a different date.

[Selling] Pre-booked ad space
Allow option for potential advertisers to pay for pre-booked spaces. Then when spaces are booked out, a notification will tell other advertisers that the specific space on those specific dates are currently full. Could be shown on a booking calendar? Even if this is not done on the front end, if spaces could be named, and linked to calendar, it would allowed potential advertisers to see what spaces are available, and when. This would then open other possibilities for advertisers to be put on a "waiting list" for cancellations, or encouraged to fill other spaces, offering "us" the highest income chances.

Rename the name of the placement
For some reasons, such as a more meaningful name or a new purpose, renaming a placement is very useful.

[Selling] Bill for a period of time…
I would like to have the option to bill clients monthly, annually or by any other period of time.

Add multiple images on the same ad (e.g. devices, specific dates, etc.)
For example, a desktop image and a mobile image. And also an image to show "to" and another to show "from" (especific dates for ads rotation). Although it is contemplated, you have to create any of these as individual ads and manage those options on the Group. Giving the option on the ad itselfs avoids the creation of mutiple ads for the same product/campaign.

Ads between comments
Display ads between comments, for example before last comment

If adsense ad loads blank, display alternate ad
So sometimes adsense doesn't display an ad for whatever reason. It would be nice to have a way for Adv. Ads to detect this and then display an alternate ad (group?).

[Selling] Calendar in backend for admins
I have a lot of ad spaces across my website. Each ad space may have 1 ad, or maybe multiple ads. When clients book a specific space for a certain period of time for a future date, it's a lot of work keeping up with when a space is "fully booked". If there was a calendar that linked with created and scheduled ads, it could notify us on when a space is full and for what period of time.

Preview Of Ad
A nice addition would be to have a preview of an ad (Not an image, but coded) to show up on the Edit Ad Page once the code is input in the Parameter Box. Obviously, such an option could turned on and off within the general settings of the plugin[Pro | Selling ] Integrate selling with Woo-Commerce Subscriptions
WooCommerce Subscriptions is a paid add-on that allows subscription products to be auto-renewed at a certain time like many services that can be purchased on the Internet. This is perfect for my ad-selling use case where a monthly, quarterly or ad subscription auto-renews. Dev note: Advanced Ads would be happy to test this if any of our users would set it up on our test site.

[Pro] Select position in content based on %
I would like to place at a percentage through post i.e. 50% rather than after say 8 paragraphs.

Insert Evenly Spaced Ads In Content Based on Content Length
The idea would be to allow a user to set an article length and define the number of ads that would be inserted into the content automatically. The ads would be evenly spaced and would be pulled from a predefined list of Ads, Placements, or Groups. Users could define multiple article lengths. For example: Under 600 Words: 3 Ads - Placements at 0% (START), 50%, 100% (END) 601-1000: 4 Ads - Placements at 0%, 33%, 66%, 100% 1000-1500: 5 Ads - Placements at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% 1501+ Words: 6 Ads - Placements at 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100

[Selling|Pro] Group ads by client
Currently, clients with multiple banners get one link for each banner. How about being able to group them by client so we can give them one link and they can get to all of their stats easily, or see the aggregate statistics.[Selling Ads] setup banner image dimensions
1) add to the Selling ADS Product the image dimensions (for example 728x90) 2) setup an alert if the user tries to upload in the Creation ADS page an image with the wrong dimensions. In this way the user will upload only correct image dimensions for the correct placementAdd block editor to “rich content” editor
How about adding the Gutenberg editor option to Ad Type: Rich content editor? This would open up a whole new spectrum of ad creation.

[Sticky] Header Ad placement should not cover website header
The Sticky Header Ad covers the header of the site. Would be better to “push” the rest of the site down rather than cover the header. Also, for logged in users, the black WordPress Admin Bar covers the sticky header ad. Can the sticky header ad start below the WordPress Admin Bar when it is displayed?

[Selling Ads] Additional options for clients
It would be great if products could be set up with the following options: - Let Customer select countries where the ad should be displayed - Let customer choose the Archive Categories where to place an ad

[Pro] temporal integration of ads also by hours
The temporal integration of ads works only for days, not for hours. For some advertisers an hourly control is required.[Sticky] Option to set a number of pixels in scroll to show or hide a Top horizontal Sticky Ad
I think that would be great when using, like I do on my site, a Top Horizontal Sticky Bar as a Sticky navigation menu.Ad-specific Advertisement-Labels
currently we are able to configure one single label to ALL advertisements and we can disable the ad label for specific placements However, I like to see an option either on level of the advertisement or placements to give a different/custom label. I like the idea to indicate the ad type like: Advertisement, Affiliate, Sponsor, Partner etc.[Selling] Ad limits per group
Would love to see the ability to limit the number of ads shown in a group and disable the ad from the store if that limit is reached.

[Selling Ads] Sales price
I would like to be able to provide the Selling products also with an offer. Like the normal products in Woocommerce. So current price 50 offer price 35, and that for a certain term.Parallax ads
Ads that are "pinned" behind content and show through at defined sections in the content. Just like: http://gallery.smartadserver.com/parallaxLinks should be tagged noopener for security and for Google Lighthouse score
Links should have the attribute rel "noopener".[Pro] Avoid repeating ads after page reload
When rotating ads, it would be nice if there was a feature to keep the same ads from being shown on the same page back to back. While the plug-in offers to not duplicate ads, it doesn't offer a way to control excessive ad clustering of the same ad. By adding an option that requires that the next ad on the page is different from the ad on the previous page impression, that would avoid some of the ad clustering.Option to remove an ad directly after it was clicked
Add an option that allows removing the ad once it was clicked. It would not need the "Max. Clicks" visitor condition to work since it might be useful in other circumstances as well.[Pro] Animations for Ad rotation
When using the in place Ad rotation an Ad rotates without any animation, it's there and the next one. Especially for larger Ads, in specific full screen Ads this is highly annoying, ugly to see and it does not look professional ('aggresive'). Adding an animation like Slide or Fade for this in place rotation will increase the look and feel of such an Ad.“repeat the position” option for infeed ads
It may be nice to have a "repeat placement" option for the "Adsense infeed" addon. I personally place infeed ads every 3 posts... But as my number of posts increases, I have to create more placements which differ only by the value "Inject before" x "posts"... Note that this option already exists for the "content" placement...[Selling] Self Renew for Advertisers Coupled with Auto Reminders
Feature Idea: Advertisers can renew (and pay for) their own ads. When business is good we have fifty or more advertisers. Keeping track of who is expiring when, following up with reminders and chasing them to pay is time consuming. Would like to see reminders about their ad expiration could go out automatically, starting a month before the ad expires, with two or three reminders spaced out, and the advertiser could click a link to renew (and pay for) their ad at any time.[Pro or Sticky] Page Peel Placement
Please add page peel to Advanced Ads Placement. Page peel is usually placed in the top right corner but can be on the left too.[POLL] Using the qTranslate-XT Plugin
Hi to all, how many of you use the qTranslate-XT plugin on your WordPress website? Or if you used it, if you had problems with Advanced Ads. I use both plugins and I found a problem, talking to the creator of Advanced Ads does not know how many use qTranslate-X to be able to create a version of Advanced Ads also compatible with qTranslate-X.[Sticky Ads] New triggers
Add conditions for displaying a sticky block: Page scrolled (%) - The animation starts when the page is scrolled for the defined percentage (specify only numerical value from 1 - 100). Page scrolled (px) - The animation starts when the page is scrolled for the specified number of pixels (specify only numerical value). Element visible - The animation starts when specific HTML element becomes visible. Specify CSS selector for the element (#id or .class).Native integration of webP
Include the integration of webp images into Advanced Ads image ad functionality as well as include tracking and other normal features from the current format. Note from Advanced Ads: webp is not supported by WordPress core, yet.Automated Weight based on CTR
If I have GRID with 9 diferent ADS, I want AD with higher CTR to be in slot 1 (above 8 others) to make most of that ADRedirection to ad after change of site
When the reader clicks on a link to go to a blog post or other page, they are redirected to a full page add that can be closed to go to the intended post or page.Option to hide ads on all private pages.
In the settings, disable ads option: disable ads on private pages. Most ad networks do not allow ads behind password or private pages.Geotargeting based on gps of mobile phone
Looks like wpadvancedads target the ip address of the user for geotargeting. So targeting by city and zip code does not work perfectly. FEATURE REQUEST: If the user is on mobile phone and has allowed location permission to the browser , then it will auto detect gps location of the mobile phone (if location permission is already granted or ask for location permission for the first time) and then deliver ads based on that location.Banners visible only in certain time slots
Hi, it would be very useful to have banners visible only in certain time slots. (I don't mean posting for days, but for now) Lately due to the lockdown there are many activities (bars, restaurants) that advertise. And it would be optimal for some businesses to have post ad impressions only at certain times.“ad setting” box in wp “categories” as well
The "Ad Settings" on single edit pages for posts and pages allow disabling all ads on them. There should be something similar on category edit pages so that all ads are disabled for a certain category archive and posts belonging to them.[PopUp] Trigger PopUp Ad at the end of content/post
I would be nice to have another option for showing PopUp ad - when reader reaches the end of content (post).Bulk Edit Ads using Import / Export
When importing ads, if an item as a Post ID the import should EDIT the existing ad instead of creating a new one. This would enable bulk editing of ads by exporting, editing the export and then re-importing. It would make things much easier!Ability to install via PHP Composer
I'd like to be able to bundle the Pro plugin via PHP composer[Selling Ads] Ad Setup Description
Currently, the ad setup page is filled with a "placement type" which should be internal use only. It should include the description and the product title. Many advertisers forget what ad they're even uploading!Stick Ads in sidebar for a second
Is there any way we can sticky ads in the sidebar for a second while scrolling… Ads come one after another in the sidebar and each ad sticks for a second. Example- see the ads in sidebar at https://www.verywellhealth.com/coping-with-psoriasis-3876622

[PopUp] Show when a button is clicked. Great for optin forms and ads!
I want to use popups for optin forms so I can use group rotation to split test and find out what gets the most subscribers. It's tricky to do this now, so I'd like the process of triggering a popup from a button to be simplified. It would also be cool to be able to deliver some ads in a popup like this too.Sort Ad Groups by ID/Name/Date Created
Allow admins to view Ad Groups in an order other than just AlphabeticalSliding banner
I would love to be able to have a sliding banner for announcements that I’d like to run without having to restructure the page. I’m not talking like the stock market ticker tape. I’m talking 200px in height that allows for fancy fonts, multiple lines, and an image. You know how people love images and hate to read.Close Button
Would be nice to have the option to include a close button, just like Google Ads. This way we could give the user the chance to close ads they don't want.[Selling] An option for ad approval before payment
Add a feature that gives the admin an option to review the ad for approval before allowing the client to make a payment for the ad space.Ad Thumbnail Hover
Add a hover effect to the thumbnail on the ad listing page so that you can see the ad in a larger view. That way you don't have to go into ad edit mode to see the ad creative. You can also right click on the ad popup to save to your local drive. Might be helpful for some people when they want to quickly see the ad creative details.[Sticky ads] Make regular banner sticky when scrolling down
Display banner that when scrolling down, it remains sticky for a while on top of page.[Pro] Skip Paragraph if too short
I wish there were more restrictive conditions in place similar to Words Between Ads and Minimum Content Length. We run an entertainment website with articles that have image captions (which appear in p ids), as well as one-liners announcing release dates and trailers, and sometimes our ads show up immediately after the captions or on top of a trailer embed. Words Between Ads and Minimum Content Length only goes so far. I propose a feature that would simply allow for paragraphs of a certain length to be completely ignored, i.e. not be counted as a paragraph.WPForo Integration
Hi. I would like to see you ad WPForo integration so I can also specify ads there as well. Because my forums generate a significant portion of overall site page views, having ads there is paramount.Better interface for duration/expiration of ad
Make a better interface (similar to Facebook) for having the duration (days and ending date) so that user are able to select and ending date or days easier (with + or - to cycle through days)Adsense earnings on the dashboard
Please add an option to add "AdSense Earnings" widget on the WordPress dashboard.[Sticky] AMP sticky ads for banner placement
Implement amp-sticky-adDetection if page is being loaded inside an iframe or directly into the browser window
Detection if page is being loaded inside an iframe or directly into the browser window: The rule should be simple, if page is loaded inside an iframe, advertisements should not show. This rule will be usefull for the people that use paid traffic. Also the code for this rule is simple: function inIframe () { try { return window.self !== window.top; } catch (e) { return true; } }Posts list placement to allow for repeated placement
Currently you can only say after/before X post in the list. It would be very helpful if it would allow me to say ... "insert after/before every X posts"Optimize For Viewability
Recently I've found something interesting on this site (idntimes.com). Before the ads fill the place, there some animation or placeholders or something like that fills the ads area. I know it's viewed as something trivial. But I believe this will solve Google Pagespeed Problem and then Improve CTR. Because it attracts people's eyes before the ads even being loaded, please consider this feature.Find AdSense ads by ad ID / Show them on Ad Overview
* Let Ads list show Ad Id and adsense data-ad-slot's nubmer. * Can use search button to search ad id and adsense data-ad-slot="xxxxxxxxxx" 's data when use Ads list.Dynamic Text Ads | Ad Builder
I have an advertiser that has a lot of products. This advertiser is not on normal affiliate networks. Could you build an 'ad builder' the brings in links, description, URLs from a fixed CSV which is loaded to Wordpress and shows the links within the advert. When the CSV is updated, the advert updates.Pass information to Google Ad Manager (DoubleClick)
Pass information with to Google Ad Manager. Google Ad Manager gives us the option to target 'Key values' (e.g. Men / Woman or Categories). It would be great if we can pass the main categories, subcategories (and even tags) as key values to Google Ad Manager. That way we can target key values (categories, subcategories, tags) directly from the back-end of Google Ad Manager. I know that with advanced ads pro you can make ads per category, but then we really have to create many ad positions ourself within Google Ad Manager.[Tracking] Add tracking URL to the individual ad and ads list pages
I sometimes need to run an add in an email client outside of WordPress. In order to get the tracking URL I need to load the ad in a page or post and then copy the link URL. I would love it if this was just available on the individual ad edit screen and/or as a column on the ads list page. It would save a lot of time by being able to just grab the link there.Filter for Groups
Some publishers (including us) have more advanced structure of ad groups. We have about 50 ad groups (with a potential to have more) and it's very difficult to manage them as there are plenty of empty ad groups. I believe implementing a simple filter ("exclude empty ad groups" or similar) would significantly improve the UX.[Tracking] Text Link Ads
Can we have a capability wherein we can make "Link ads" and track them as well? Something like google link ads but each link can be tracked for clicks.[Pro] Show white page with custom message when detects Ad Blocker
We would like to have a Fallback action to show a white page with a custom message for users with Ad Blocker. The current Ad Blocker feature of Advanced Ads provides the option to show alternative ads. We need to show a white page (content of the site is not readable) until the user disable Ad Blocker and then refresh the page.Server image ads over CDN
We are running a CDN with image optimization to serve nextgen image formats/webp on our site and all of our ads served via AdvancedAds are still defaulting to the original images which are larger and a drain on page load. Would be incredibly helpful and beneficial to site speed to have the ability to opt in to serving ads as webp.[Tracking] Statistics on advertiser and campaign
I would like to have some kind of banner organization, that can be used for statistics purpose. On the top, we have an advertiser, one step below we have advertiser's campaigns, and on the bottom, we have advertiser's banners, and groups of banners. Like this: ADVERTISER | | CAMPAIGN1 CAMPAIGN2 | | | BN1 BN1 BN2 Of course, when we have that kind of organization, we need reporting on all three levels, for the advertiser, campaign and banners.Deactivate Advanced-Ads-Elements in WP-Adminbar
I would like to be able to deactivate the "Ads"-menu that Advanced Ads puts in the WordPress admin toolbar. I am already able to deactivate the "Ad Health"-menu there, but would be happy to have this choice for all menus placed by Advanced Ads in the WP admin toolbar.Rest API
Since we are fetching our news data via REST API within our two apps, we highly need a feature like handling the ads over to the REST API.Individual Post Screen Options on Overview Pages
It would be nice to have a feature in the posts/pages/custom post types overview pages: /wp-admin/edit.php /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page that would show the following columns as a screen option and be sortable: "Disable ads on this page" "Disable automatic ad injection into the content" Overall, I think it would be extremely useful to be able to see the output of those options per post, but on the overview pages.Maximum text length
Requested is a feature that allows to set a filter for ads to show them only in articles with a maximum text length of "X". This should make a scenario possible, in which I can inject one specific ad only in content with a maximum of "X" words. For example, this way, I can display specific ads in short entries only. They shall not be shown in long entries.WooCommerce Memberships Condition
Integrate with another membership plugin, which could be expanded to general woocommerce integration.Export reports for individual ads by month, not by day
We are always needed to show our advertisers that their ads are pointing business their way. We need to be able to quickly export reports for an individual ad that shows the impressions/clicks/ctr BY MONTH for that ad. The only export I can do right now is by day, which advertisers don't want to see. So I'm left with either having to copy/paste into my own spreadsheet, or do some crazy cleanup on the massive by-day export. Please please make it easier to export reports that show stats by month. Thank you!Condition: parent and child categories
Hi, I would like to recommend the ability to set the condition "Parent categories" and "Child categories". In this way, those who have many parent and child categories, do not have to set many categories for each banner. For example, I have the parent category "Sport" which has about 40 child categories. So every time I publish a banner (of my customers) I have to set all the child categories. And I have two versions of the banners (desktop and mobile), so I have to do this twice each time.Option to Permanently Serve non-personalized AdSense ads
There should also be an option to permanently serve non-personalized AdSense ads regardless if a visitor Agrees or Declines with the use of Cookies and/or GDPR.[Sticky Ads] Fade out Sticky Ads
Option to fade out a sticky ad after a certain timeSticky Ads “Sliding into Existence” upon Stop scrolling
When someone lands on a page, no sticky ads showing. When the visitor, starts to scroll and once he ends scrolling (or alternative scrolling more than half of the page),the sticky ad "slides" up into view.Stats counter in CFP showing number of blocked users
Introduce a live stats counter in click fraud protection showing the number of users who have been blocked from showing the ads due to excessive clicking on the ads.Full Polylang integration
Polylang basically works with Advanced Ads. But there are some bugs, so not all conditions work. Language conditions work in posts, but not on category and tag pages.Full Service Advanded Ad Pro Set-up
For some of us that are technically challenged I hope and vote for a full-service set-up, installation and optimization procedure buy the skilled professional for a fair price.Ad list order by add date
Please add option to screen options to list ads by date created, please.[Pro] Auto Refresh entire group of adds
Currently, the cache-busting and refresh interval functions only support a single add. This is fine for banner ads across the top but not so good for a group of more than one add in a sidebar or across the top of content. I would like the refresh to redisplay a group of N ads and re-randomize them each time.Browse all articles where ads have been disabled
Sometimes I disabled ads in some articles due to an abuse of Adsense policies There should be a place to display all articles where ads have been disabled in order to fix them, and then to submit a request to re-display ads[Pro] Reminder before ad expires
Add a note to the Ad Health section before an ad expires. E.g., one week before.What happens with Feature Requests?
We take feature requests and the voting very seriously. Once an item is among the top 5 to 10, we start looking into them and estimate if they are technically possible and match the purpose of Advanced Ads. Only very few items get removed after that.
There is no deadline, but you can be sure that we are working in some way or another on the top items.
Here are a few examples of implemented features that have been on this list.
- Advance Scheduling based on Post Age
- E-Mail reports for impressions and clicks (Tracking)
- Skin Ads (Pro)
- WPML Support
- Selling ads
- AdSense on AMP pages
- Export / Import
- Ad Label like “Advertisement”
