Which new shortcodes does AdVert add to WordPress?

The plugin AdVert added 1 new shortcode when it was installed with WP-CLI in our WordPress test environment.

ShortCode		Known Plugin or Theme conflicts
[advert_location]		The advert_location shortcode doesn't have any known conflicts with other themes or plugins.

Note: We have not yet checked to see if these shortcodes work as expected in pages, posts, sidebar widgets, or when set as the page title, in content, in the excert, in menus or anywhere else within a WordPress installation. A shortcode could produce errors due to parameters added when it is used, or if the plugin is updated and the format of the shortcode has changed.

AdVert did not create any new database tables when it was installed. It is possible that the plugin creates new database tables after an initial setup or configuration or after some period of use.

Which new options are added to the wp-options table by AdVert?

When AdVert was activated and loaded for the first time it created 2 new options in the wp_options table. Any known conflicts will be shown in red.

widget_advert_widget		The widget_advert_widget option doesn't have any known conflicts with other themes or plugins.
a:1:{s:12:"_multiwidget";i:1;}
