 * The plugin is great. But the developer is MOST IRRITATING.
    God alone knows why
   he has to push updates every alternate day – guess he has nothing better to do.
   And just updating isn’t enough, you have to click another update button. Plus
   the amount of nagging messages he has – messages which cannot be hidden. “Your
   AdRotate Banner folder is not writable or does not exist. Set up your banner 
   folder.” Why can’t he stop NAGGING about this? Lots of people use only HTML codes
   from ad servers.

 * Updates are usually done monthly. If you don’t like getting new features and 
   bugfixes, then don’t update. Or better yet – don’t use my software.
 * Errors are not nagging, errors are there to be fixed. If you fix the errors mentioned
   then the “nag” goes away. Duh…

 * Not going to waste any more time on “Duhs” (in your own words) who don’t accept
   constructive criticism.
 * And beware. Arrogance always ends in the gutter. So have fun while it lasts.

 * Hello,
 * To fix this problematic issue with no further changes to your configuration, 
   additional creation of folders, or anything you **don’t** want to do, remove 
   this piece of code:
 *     ```
       if(!is_writable(ABSPATH.$adrotate_config['banner_folder'])) {
       $error['banners_folder'] = __('Your AdRotate Banner folder is not writable or does not exist.', 'adrotate-pro').' <a href="https://ajdg.solutions/manuals/adrotate-manuals/manage-banner-images/?utm_campaign=adrotate-manual&utm_medium=dashboard-notification&utm_source=adrotate-free" target="_blank">Set up your banner folder</a>.';
       }
       ```
   
 * From line 680 (aprox) in file wp-content/plugins/adrotate/adrotate-output.php
 * Hope this helps. Cheers!
