 [rpatwall1206](https://profiles.wordpress.org/rpatwall1206/) July 15, 2019

The 125 X 125 feature just lined them up vertically in the sidebar, cutting off 
the top of the ad. I tried resizing still cropped off top. Then I tried the single
larger ad feature which did not rotate it stayed fixed on the first ad and continued
to blink as though it was rotating…but nothing.

Clicking the add new button just refreshes the page, so I can display one ad in 
each widget, no more. Chrome 64-bit, Windows 10 64-bit. Also, causes a dramatic 
reduction in the PageSpeed score because the images are served without width and
height attributes.
