Does Ad Inserter detect AdBlock or any other block system?

  • Hi,

    This plugins is really easy to use and useful… Thanks!

    I just wonder if Ad Inserter can detect AdBlock? If answer is yes, What does the plugin do? or Are you thinking to include any option to disable AdBlock for Ad Inserter?

    Thanks
    Regards,

    Yes, Ad Inserter can detect if the settings page was not loaded properly – this can happen if AdBlock or some similar software blocks CSS/Javascript files.

    The plugin checks if all CSS and Javascript files are loaded and executed.

    Not sure what do you mean with “option to disable AdBlock for Ad Inserter”.

    Thanks for the answer.

    Sorry, I tried to say.

    What does the plugin do when it detects AdBlock? I mean, Does Ad Inserter show an alert message to visitor? or Does AdBlock disable Adblock to show ads?

    I would like to know if Ad Inserter can do something to show ads even if it is an adblock system.

    When Ad Inserter detects that the settings page was not loaded properly it shows a warning message (Page Blocked):

    Ad Inserter Blocked

    Ad Inserter does not and can not detect if anything on the frontend (what is visible to the visitor) is blocked. In fact, there are only the ad codes you configure and wrapping divs.

    Wrapping divs use class name that can be changed so Ad Inserter as plugin can be made undetectable.

    But there is no universal way to detect if anything is blocked. Usually, each ad code uses some javascript code which ad blockers block, so you can write custom code to see if the script was loaded/blocked or not.

    If the ad is blocked in the browser then it is blocked – not loaded. You can only try to detect if it was loaded but each ad would need a custom code.
