False positives!

    I have been using Ad Inserter for around a couple of years and for the first time, I am facing an issue with this plugin.

    I enabled Ad Blocking in Ad Inserter and today I opened a post of my website in Incognito mode in Google Chrome on my mobile and even though I wasn’t using any ad blocker, the Ad Block message popped up.

    Then I rolled back the Ad Inserter version from 2.7.22 to 2.7.21 and this solved the issue.
    I live in an area with slow (sometimes very slow) internet connection and some of my users too have slow internet connections.
    And as the internet is slow, the AdSense ads take a few seconds to load and I think that Ad Inserter is assuming that users are using ad blockers.

    This is a serious issue as I have set Undismissable Message in the Ad Blocking Detection settings and when users not using ad blockers face this issue, they can’t dismiss the message and can’t access the content of my blog (due to Undismissable Message) and this will ultimately impact my revenue.
    So, please resolve this as fast as possible.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,

    the ad blocking detection algorithm is constantly improved, however, there is no universal solution for all cases. Ad blockers also evolve. If the ad scripts are not loaded after some reasonable time the plugin assumes that they are blocked. This should work in most cases.

    However, in some cases this may cause false positives.
    To solve this you can disable individual checks:
    https://adinserter.pro/documentation/ad-blocking-detection#troubleshooting

    You need to identify which one causes issues.
    Either disable all and then enable one by one or post site address so we can diagnose the issue:

    Thanks for your fast response.
    I updated the plugin to version 2.7.22 and this problem didn’t occur (this could be because now my internet connection has improved a little bit).
    I assume that most of my users have good internet connections and so, this issue shouldn’t occur to them, right?

    I didn’t try your suggestion of disabling individual checks because I didn’t face the issue, I opened multiple blog posts and this issue didn’t occur.
    Do I need to do or check anything else?

    Yes, it seems it works fine for other users.
    Since it works no need to check anything.
