Doesn’t work with AdGuard

Hello @lom666,

Thanks for your feedback.

At first glance, it seems that the Eazy Ad Unblocker plugin’s CSS style sheets, Javascript and image files are being blocked by Ad Guard.

These are essential to create the popup and the images in the settings screen.

However, before proceeding further I would appreciate it if you could provide some
information:

1. what version of wordpress are you using?
2. what browser are you using? Which version?
3. what OS are you using?
4. From your screenshot, I gather you are using the latest version of
Eazy Ad Unblocker?
5. what version of Ad Guard are you using?
6. what is the url of the website where you have installed and are using Eazy Ad
Unblocker?

Thanks and regards,
Pratyush Deb`

Hello @lom666,

So, it is as I had suspected. I opened the filtering log of AdGuard in Opera.

(See attached screenshots at the following URL: https://imgur.com/a/MN3YIGT).

The Eazy Ad Unblocker plugin’s CSS style sheets, Javascript and image files are being blocked by Ad Guard.

It is because of a blanket blocking of my files in the wordpress plugin folder.

So the popup is not getting created and shown. Also the preview images are being blocked in the admin settings.

A while ago, I had faced a similar problem with another user of my plugin.

So I had raised a ticket with the AdGuard team. I had asked them why they had added a filter rule to Ad Guard against Eazy Ad Unblocker plugin.

See https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters/issues/62407

Ad Guard said “This is antiadblock message and we do not want users to see such warnings. Therefore the rule got added.”

This means that they have deliberately blocked my popup files and functionality and will not fix my issue. They are against plugins like “Eazy Ad Unblocker”.

I have not been able to figure out a solution to this problem yet.

Please note that another wordpress site using this ad unblocker plugin, namely https://strategycon.ru faces a similar problem, just not as much as your site is facing.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks and regards,
Pratyush Deb

or maybe just change the address? https://skr.sh/i/080321/Edg9vtLF.jpg?download=1&name=Скриншот%2008-03-2021%2019:40:37.jpg

and make it possible for site administrators to change the folder name in your plugin as soon as AdGuard blacklisted your plugin?

and I also noticed that AdGuard blocks addresses with target=”_blank” by default

on the Internet, I found one script that I found interesting and I hope it will help you. AdGuard couldn’t detect it. https://skr.sh/s6yaDuSKvSM

Hello @lom666,

Thank you for your help and suggestions.

Personally, I prefer the suggestion to give the admin the ability to change
the address or URL of the plugin as soon as it is blacklisted by ad blocker.

Because if I don’t change the plugin URL on blacklisting, I believe that the new script you gave me can still be blocked by ad blocker as it does a blanket filter by plugin folder name. Because the new script will still be under the same plugin folder, right?

One issue in changing plugin address by admin is what might happen if auto-updates for the plugin are enabled especially in the newer versions of WordPress or if the admin updates the plugin manually. The admin might have to change the plugin url every time the plugin is updated.

And, if I implement the new script you gave, I believe I will have to make a lot of changes to the UI and admin backend of the plugin to keep the existing features like responsiveness, theming, dialog scroll animation, small mobile device friendliness, cross browser consistency, popup dismissing by clicking close button, etc.

I am working on it.

Thanks and regards,

Hello. Can you tell me in which file I can fix these two buttons?
https://skr.sh/s77rScgcPus

the thing is, my installed theme breaks them.

Hello @lom666,

The main CSS stylesheet file for the plugin is eazy-ad-unblocker/css/style.css

The HTML for the refresh button at the bottom of the popup is located between
the HTML comments “<!–refresh button–>” and “<!–end refresh button–>” in the file eazy-ad-unblocker/index.php

Please note that you must preserve your modified versions of the files because they will be overwritten in the plugin updates that follow when you update your plugin in the wp-admin.

So, you will have to add your modifications to the necessary files every time you update your plugin because your modifications are not part of the official www.ads-software.com plugins directory.

Thanks and regards,
Pratyush Deb

sorry, but I don’t see where exactly I should move the “CLOSE” and “refresh” buttons up and down?
https://skr.sh/s78g5SueU10
I understand that this is not your problem, but if it is not difficult, tell me where exactly are the parameters of these two buttons?

Hello @lom666,

The parameters for the refresh button of the popup are in eazy-ad-unblocker/css/style.css: line 5. You can fix the css over there.

The css classes of the “close” button are ui-button, ui-corner-all, ui-widget,
ui-button-icon-only, ui-dialog-titlebar-close and they come from the “jquery-ui.min.css” file of the respective theme folders under the css folder.

You can change the close button of the popup from the file eazy-ad-unblocker/css/style.css or the CSS stylesheet of your installed theme.
Please keep a backup of both these files if you change them.

As far as I can see, the problem was caused by the file
/wp-content/themes/customify/style.min.css
on line 24.

The following properties are part of the problem:

• padding
• min-height
• border-radius

Hope this helps.

Thanks and regards,
Pratyush Deb

Updated the plugin today. Changed the name of the plugin folder. The pictures don’t disappear now. But the plugin itself does not work if AdGuard is enabled . I checked it in Opera and Google Chrome.

Hello @lom666,

So I checked the filter log of AD GUARD in Opera. I am posting a screenshot here

https://imgur.com/a/BHObIpA

If you have a look at it, you will see that ADGUARD is now filtering an HTML element
on your site. This HTML element was part of the ad blocker detection logic.

Since this HTML element is blocked by AD GUARD, the popup display logic is not working.

See the red box in the posted screenshot.

They have added a rule specifically targeting your site wot-lom.com

AD GUARD is doing its level best to stop the Eazy Ad Unblocker from working with it.

I am trying to do my best to counter their filter rules as and when they add them.

I am thinking of a solution similar to your suggestion for the earlier problem.

I am working on it.

Thanks and regards,
Pratyush Deb

Thank you for your answer and good luck with your work!

I don’t understand much about plugins, but maybe you can see something useful in this plugin?

Hello. Is it possible to disable this – https://skr.sh/s7MVVPuKIoL

Hello @lom666,

You can disable it – https://skr.sh/s7MVVPuKIoL

by deactivating the Eazy Ad Unblocker plugin.

It is a part of the Eazy Ad Unblocker plugin.
