Google Consent Mode V2 not working?

    I have configured the plugin and the cookie blocking looks fine. We are using Google Ads and I also need Consent Mode V2, so I enabled that. I have set it to be implemented through the Google Tag (gtag.js).
    Now I see the message in Admin saying:

    Google Tag Manager and/or Google tag may be blocked, impacting the advanced consent mode. Ensure Google tags load when a user opens the website for cookieless pings, or signals, to work properly.?Advanced consent mode(opens in a new tab)Consent mode pings(opens in a new tab)

    I understand from this that my Google Tag is not firing at all, so the consent Mode cannot be passed on to Google Ads.
    I do NOT understand what I need to do to fix this. Please advise!

    Hey, @zudie!

    It sounds like gtag.js is completely blocked because it’s listed under the “Blocked Scripts” tab.

    To use the advanced version of Google Consent Mode, ensure gtag.js is not blocked. This allows the Google Tag to load with defaults set to denied, or as specified in the “Consent Mode” tab, and adjust its behavior based on user consent.

    Try removing the Google Tag from the “Blocked Scripts” tab while keeping Google Consent Mode enabled. Then, use Google Tag Assistant to check your configuration.

    Let us know if this resolves your issue.

    Yes! That was it. Maybe add that to your documentation because I did not know.

    Thank so much for this plugin. I have been searching for days and this one works beautifully. Is there a way I can donate something? I almost feel guilty for not paying for this.
