Provides publishers the ability to implement ad tags using WordPress short
codes and additional tools to help monetize website traffic.

== Description ==
The Adblade Publisher Tools plugin provides publishers the ability to
implement ad tags using WordPress short codes and additional tools to help
monetize and track website traffic. The plugin works with publishers using
WordPress and currently using Adblade ad tags. Simply install the plugin on
the plugins page and it will start working for all existing Adblade tags on a
publisher's website.

== Installation ==
1. Upload 'ablade' to the '/wp-content/plugins/' directory,
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= How do I install the plugin? =
Install and activate the plugin on the plugins page then visit the settings
page and click Save Changes. Nothing else is required to use the Adblade
Publisher Tools plugin.

= How do I use the plugin? =
Once the plugin is installed it will start working for all existing Adblade
tags on a publisher's site. Simply place your Adblade tags in your WordPress
site where you want the ads to render. Optionally, publishers can use the
short codes instead of placing Adblade tags directly.

= How do I use the short codes? =
Short code for dynamic responsive tags: [adblade
container_id="1234-1234567890"]. Short code for fixed sized tags: [adblade
container_id="1234-1234567890" width=160 height=600 type=1]. Replace
"1234-1234567890" with the actual data-cid value from your ad tags. If the
tag is fixed sized replace the width and height values accordingly.

= How do I use the Before Post Ad Tag? =
The Before Post Ad Tag field can be used to automatically append an ad tag to
the top of every post. Just save the ad tag in the Before Post Ad Tag field on
the options page.

= How do I use the [AdsWithin] short code? =
The [AdsWithin] short code can be used to place an ad tag inside and article.
Just put the [AdsWithin] short code in your article where you'd like the ad
tag to appear and save the ad tag in the [AdsWithin] Short Code Ad Tag field
on the options page.

= How do I use the After Post Ad Tag? =
The After Post Ad Tag field can be used to automatically append an ad tag to
the bottom of every post. Just save the ad tag in the After Post Ad Tag field
on the options page.

= Why doesn't the bypass appear to work after I install/upgrade? =
Sometimes the settings just need to be saved in the admin section. Go to 
the admin page, make sure that "Attempt to bypass..." is checked, and save
the changes. You should save the changes even if no changes were made.

= Why do I occasionally see "404: Not Found" errors when using the bypass? =
The bypass URLs will change daily. If you cache your pages longer, the URLs
might hit the expired bypass URLs causing these errors. If possible, reduce
the cache expiration on your site.

= Are there any other requirements for this plugin? =
PHP 5.3 or newer is required for this plugin to work. You will also need an
Adblade Publisher account. 

= What do the advanced ad blocker bypass settings do? =
The advanced ad blocker bypass settings are optional. They can be used to
only display Adblade ads when an ad blocker is detected. If no ad blocker
is detected your regular ad tags will be displayed like normal. When an
ad blocker is detected, the plugin will insert the Adblade ad tag into the
document using the selector specified for that tag. If you change the
advanced ad blocker bypass settings it is recommended you clear your
WordPress cache after saving the changes.

= How can I become an Adblade publisher and get ad tags? =

an account.
