    I agree. I’d love to force an “on” state for whatever the last banner was. In the last update I added a link that will display the test alert, which ensures that the script is working as it should, but it would be nice to have something prettier (and since it’s in an iframe, I can’t make it prettier — it needs to come from the source, which is on their servers). They have a developers Google Group where you could make suggestions if you felt inclined.

    I installed this on a standalone and a multisite today, while hte CISPA blackout is supposed to be active and it doesn’t work.

    When I went to settings, it complained about not being able to detect which page the code was on and asked me to save again. I did so, which cleared that error. Cicking test didn’t work on the stand alone website. Clicking test on the multisite displayed a success message (though not the CAT page I was expecting).

    However, neither websites are affected and neither display the modal dialogue I was expecting. Doesn’t matter if I’m logged in or not.

    URLs are: https://thewebalyst.com (stand alone) and https://wpsites.eu, https://therapy-online.co.uk (multi-site).

    This is a shame, I wanted to take part in the CISPA blackout today. Your plugin is a great idea and I hope you can fix this.

    There are no active campaigns currently. The CISPA blackout was a month ago. In fact, if you read the thread above, I point out that the CISPA campaign was on March 19: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/not-working-on-my-site-3?replies=19#post-4007990

    The only site of those that I see the plugin installed on is this: https://wpsites.eu/?_idl_test=1

    There are active campaigns and yet it’s still not workking. IDL launched the ‘Cat Signal’ on March 20th, over 30K sites participated including Reddit, Craigslist, and Duck Duck Go. Press Release.

    Drew, where are you getting the information that there are active campaigns running right now? I’m on the IDL Google Group and mailing list and no campaigns have been announced since the Aaron Schwartz campaign.

    Look, guys, for the record, all this plugin does is take the javascript codes from this page and puts it in the header of your site using basic WordPress javascript enqueueing methods. This way you don’t need to hack your theme’s header.php file to do it yourself. I am using the all league campaigns code because using a specific code for a specific campaign would only work once.

    I do not write the javascript code for the IDL. I am not involved in their campaigns, when they are launched, etc. I just wrote the plugin so you don’t need to hack your theme and then lose your IDL code when there’s a theme update. I even added a link in the backend to test whether the javascript is installed correctly after I learned from the IDL team that you could add /?_idl_test=1 to the end of your URL to make sure the code is installed properly.

    Therefore, if you have questions about what campaign is active, if a campaign is active, why your banner isn’t showing up (and you’ve already done the ?_idl_test=1), the best source for information would be the IDL team and the developer Google Group. The only thing that I can do is look at your site, see whether the plugin is present and whether the test displays a test banner or modal window.

    I have already requested that there be a persistent banner option added to the javascript so you always have a campaign running on your site, but at this time, that is not the case. The campaigns typically only run one day and are generally announced on the mailing list before they are made active.
