It seems that this was a popular plugin back then, and when someone recommended it, I found out it didn’t work with the current version of wordpress. I sought out a fix and this should be able to get the Adsense-Deluxe plugin working again, for the 3.0.1 version of wordpress at least.

Before we get started, take note that I’m not liable for any damages that you might experience when editing the plugin. Edit at your own risk!

You need to edit two areas of the plugin code to access the menu for the plugin.

First, go to “Plugins”, then “Editor”. Select “Adsense-Deluxe” from the list to edit it.

Before touching any code, back it up by copy and pasting onto Notepad.

Now, find the first code to edit toward the bottom near line 1013.

You need to comment out the conflicting code by inputting /* on the line above and */ on the below.

Next, add this code below what was commented out:

function add_adsense_deluxe_menu(){

add_options_page(__('AdSense-Deluxe Configuration', 'adsense-deluxe'), 

__('AdSense-Deluxe', 'adsense-deluxe'), 8, 'adsense-deluxe', 

'AdsenseDeluxeAdminPage');

} 

function AdsenseDeluxeAdminPage(){

require (WP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/adsense-deluxe.php');

}

The last piece of code can be edited around line 1095. Find and delete this code:

add_action('admin_head', 'add_adsense_deluxe_menu');

Replace it with this code:

add_action('admin_menu', 'add_adsense_deluxe_menu');

After that, just click “Update”. Make sure the file permissions are set to 666 or 777, whatever works, so you can update the file accordingly. You should be able to gain access to the plugin settings and use it as you desire. This fix currently works with WordPress 3.0 using Adsense-Deluxe 0.8; there’s no guarantee it’ll work with future versions. I hope the developers get around to updating the plugin. In the mean time, take care!
