This plugin adds a frontend submission page with limited options. Campaigns submitted from this form will not be public and stay in “pending” status.

Only WordPress users enabled as “Partners” can view this form. More info below in “How to create a Partner User”.

How to create a “Partner” user account

Partner users are normal WordPress users who have access to the frontend Campaign submission form, even without purchasing a campaign from your website.

1. From the left menu click  User > Add new and create a new user. Make sure to set the role as “subscriber”, not Administrator or Editor!Note down User and Password to test it. You will need to send those login credentials to your supporters so that they can access the form and submit new campaigns.
   
   
2. Edit the user you just created  and switch on “Is Partner” then saveTo test it: Open a new incognito window, and visit your  page “Ad Campaign Submission”. You can obtain the link to your frontend form through the Settings page
3. The page will request a login. Enter using the username and password you’ve previously set for the Partner account.

   

    

4. After the login, the partner can submit a new Campaign

   

5. Once submitted, if no error is detected, the customer will receive a confirmation message on the screen.
6. If you want to receive an email notification, make sure to select this option in the Business Tools settings
   

Emails not arriving:

if email notifications are not arriving, there could be a huge number of causes. We recommend to use the plugin “WP Smtp” to solve those issues.

How to publish a user-submitted campaign

Click on Ad Campaigns. You will see the submitted campaign as Pending.

You can now review, edit and save the changes.

If the start day is set in the future, the campaign will be scheduled until that day. You don’t need to change the page’s publish date to schedule a campaign.

 

Make sure the start and end date are correctly set.  Banners are only visible within the chosen dates.

Deleting a campaign

If you delete a campaign, every associated banner will be deleted from your server and from the Media archive.

Ads not visible

If you added a new campaign and is not visible, please use the troubleshooting procedure available at the section “REST API TEST”. Remember ads are displayed on a random basis.
