Rotating tweets doesn/t show up in Chrome

Do you mean the one on the left hand side?

It’s working when I look at your site now – both in Chrome and Firefox.

Did you change the version of the JavaScript that Rotating Tweets uses?

Looking at the console (via [F12]), the only reported error suggests that you need to change the references to $( into jQuery( in scrolltext_custom.js.

Are there other errors showing up in your version?

Hi Ruud,

This is working fine for me now – both on Chrome for Windows and Chrome for Android (although you have to click a little button in Android) – so I’m going to mark it as resolved – unless you come back and tell me it’s not working for you.

Haven’t it solved yet. Working on OS X, if that matters.
Now in my version of Firefox also invisible, although I updated the plugin.

Do I have to make changes to java version both in chrome and firefox, how do I manage that?
Also changes the references to $, in which part of the code, could you write it down.
Thanks,
Ruud

Does the relevant section appear on the screen – but without Rotating Tweets in it? Or does the whole section not appear at all?

Can you confirm don’t have the little botton on the top left to make the whole sidebar appear?

The broken code is in https://www.ruudfiere.nl/wp-content/plugins/scroll-text-widget/js/scrolltext_custom.js?ver=4.4.1. All four references to

$(

need to be changed to

jQuery(

But perhaps test it by switching off Scroll Text Widget and seeing if that improves things.

I switched of the text widget first. Doesn’t change anything, it seems that the section appears, deactivating the plugin makes the archive post visible again.

Thanks for your concern.

Seems I found the reason: AdblockPlus. I deactivated for my site and the tweets appeared.
Activated it again and the tweets disappeared.

Are you familiar with this and does it mean that visitors of my site using Adblock do not see these tweets also?

I hadn’t heard this before.

If you put another widget next to Rotating Tweets (for example a simple text widget), does that get hidden too? (i.e. Is it a template thing or a Rotating Tweets thing?)

Are there any particular settings in AdBlock Plus that seem to cause the problem?

Martin

I put the TAG cloud widget, activated Adblock, it normally appears at my side.
I found some posts about it here:

But I’m not too familiar with specific codes and to understand how it’s related with each other.

The Fanboy Annoyance list and Fanboy Social Blocking list which are options with Adblock Plus are set to block Rotating Tweets widgets (which is ‘desired behaviour’ if you are trying to block social media content) – so it’s not something that we should probably override!

As far as I can tell, they won’t block Rotating Tweets shortcodes, so one option would be to go with a shortcode instead.

I don’t know if it’s possible to send a ‘warning’ message to Adblock to say that the tweets have been blocked by AdBlock Plus. I’ll look into it.

There are a bunch of adblock plug-ins that might also be helpful to you on this.

Thanks Martin, I simply deactivate Adblock for my site. I think Adblock should know about blocking the tweets.

Cool. Thanks.

Looking into Adblock, the specific setting that might be doing it is Fanboy’s Annoyances on the Filter List settings page – since this includes a block for Rotating Tweets widgets.

Your right! Unchecking the Fanboy’s Social Blocking List makes your twitter widget appear with Adblock on.
