  • Currently completely non-functional on Windows Installations

    The advertisement class included in the plugin cannot handle windows filepaths, causing a fatal error. ...otherwise this plugin is great!

  • Not working in page title (SEO)

    This works perfectly everywhere except for page <title> where the [current_date ...] syntax is display unchanged on the tab and in search engines
