This page contains information about features that are scheduled for removal or were removed in the past. If you are in need of a replacement for one of the mentioned options then please reach out.
Table of Contents
Deprecated
Responsive Ads > Responsive Ads List
Users can see a list of all ads using the Browser Width condition through Advanced Ads > Dashboard > Add-Ons > Responsive […] > List of responsive ads by browser width.
The UI of that page is highly outdated and it seems that due to the position of the link, no one finds and uses it. Please reach out to us if you do.
Deprecated in February 2023. Earliest removal by June 2023.
Responsive Ads > Settings > General > Frontend Size Assistant
The Frontend Size Assistant helped to find the correct ad size by displaying the browser width and size of ad placements in the frontend.
Due to limited feedback on the usage, we decided to remove this feature immediately, with the next major release starting in March 2023. This does not affect ads in the frontend.
AdSense > Auto ads: Disable top anchor ad
This option is not supported by the AdSense Auto ads code introduced in late 2019. Advanced Ads hides this option for all users who didn’t enable it before version 1.16.
Users who enable the option will see the old Auto ads code, which will keep working without limitations, according to AdSense.
Earliest removal by January 2024.
AdSense > Limit to 3 ads
Deprecated in September 2016 because Google AdSense no longer has a fixed limit for the number of ads.
The option is still visible to users who enabled it under Advanced Ads > Settings > AdSense and might be removed without further warnings.
Removed features
Responsive Ads > Browser Width
In November 2023, the Browser Width visitor condition and related features moved from the Responsive Ads add-on into Advanced Ads Pro. The add-on itself was renamed into “AMP Ads”.
See The Responsive Ads add-on becomes AMP Ads.
Pro > Flash ad type
With Flash being practically banned from the internet, we will retire the “Flash” ad type.
Removed in Pro 2.11.0 (February 2021)
Tracking > Track external events
This feature is not visible in the interface unless you enable it using a constant. We removed it due to missing demand.
Removed in Tracking 2.0.0 (early 2021)
Tracking > Track ad impression after page load completed
The tracking option “track after page load completed” delayed the tracking call until the page was built up. It is no longer needed after a complete rework of the tracking methods.
Removed in Tracking 2.0.0 (early 2021)
Pro > URL Parameter Visitor Condition
In Pro 1.4 (June 2016), the URL Parameter visitor condition was moved to the display conditions.
Removed in Pro 2.8 (May 2020).
