  1. Revive Adserver v5.2.0 running on Apache, PHP 7.4.12 and MySQL 5.7.28-log. Maintenance indicates it's running normally. I'm a newbie with a fresh install of Revive server. I have 100 campaigns set up, all identical except for name and banner links. They are remnant campaigns with unlimited views and low priorities. Banners are all generic HTML ads from a large affiliate service. All display on banner setup page. All are linked to the same set of zones. The campaigns page indicates they are all running. The banner probabilities are inline with each other. But banners for about a third of the campaigns are not running. The only clue I can find is that the Statistics Advertisers & Campaigns Advertisers & Campaigns page has the missing campaigns faded and they disappear when the Hide Inactive button is pushed. Where should I look to start troubleshooting?
  2. I'm a web designer with a client who wanted to use Revive as a Self Serve Ad Buying platform across a number of sites he owns. I discovered Revive, put it on a server to test and fell in love. I have a client with a network of sites that he wanted to sell ads on. When I visited what I thought was the best-known plugin developer, I found many plugins that seemed to overlap in purpose. But I figured that I couldn't be the first to want this functionality. So I asked a question: "What plugins do I need to turn Revive into a self-service platform." I got a reply listing 4 plugins. The client approved the $240 and we waited. Instead of plugins to Revive, I received a collection of files to copy directly into the system. That should have been my first clue. I next discovered all the files were encrypted. The pages created were horribly designed and we couldn't change them. I complained and got some unencrypted files. I soon discovered the functionality was as poor as the design. I could create an ad package and you could log in and buy it. But there is no way to see what was purchased for the buyer - or the admin. I complained and got a few new files and some of them were unencrypted so I could style the pages - but there was still a lot of missing functionality. I started asking for a refund. Long story short, I was asked what the process should look like - so I laid out a simple workflow. Then I was told we would need to purchase the source code for a number 2.5 times our original investment. after at least a dozen emails I finally was told that buying the source code wasn't going to give me that functionality, instead would need to spend 10 times our original investment. I saw another post where a developer said they were unimpressed with a plugin maker. I wish I had seen it before dealing with this one. I think Revive is a great project but beware of the people trying to make money off of it with plugins that don't work.
