AdFusion: What’s New Across the Free Plugin and AdFusion Premium—and How to Put It to Work

WordPress Ad Fusion Ad Groups dashboard screen

AdFusion Free is the right fit when you need a WordPress-native ad CMS with groups, rotation, scheduling, shortcodes, and REST—without paying for layout engineering on day one. AdFusion Premium is the right fit when where the ad appears (leaderboard, sticky, in-article, story chrome) and how it survives caching, ad blockers, and reporting obligations becomes the product.

If you’re planning a major WordPress upgrade, skim the readme’s WordPress 7.0 notes—then roll through staging with adfusion_debug and a simple checklist: leaderboard renders, sticky dedupes, popup fires once, subscription checkout returns clean URLs, and your newest marquee disclaimers read well on mobile with reduced motion honored.
