The release of the Ad Sponsor plug-in version 2.0 is arriving soon. The Ad Sponsor Next Generation (Yeah, I'm a geek) incorporates some new features and enhancements to existing features. The first thing you will notice is a new name. I made an error when naming the plug-in by using underscores. It turns out that the WordPress Codex didn't like that and renamed the original plug-in replacing the underscores with hyphens. This completely messed up the plug-in dashboard auto-notify feature for subsequent releases. The new release will change all this.

The new plug-in name will also require an upgrade to your existing installation. This upgrade is simple, and will not remove your existing data.

  1. Deactivate the existing cd_ad_sponsor plug-in.
  2. Delete the cd_ad_sponsor folder and all sub-folders and content.
  3. Upload the new cd-ad-sponsor plug-in.
  4. Activate the new cd-ad-sponsor plug-in.

Note: Do not execute the Uninstall option from the Ad Sponsor administration menu.
