About Anti AdBlock Detector for WordPress 3.0.0

Anti AdBlock Detector for WordPress is a plugin originally sold on CodeCanyon. As the name says, it detects when a visitor uses an ad blocker. Sites that earn money from ads use tools like this to ask visitors to allow ads or to respond in some other way.

The listing says nothing else, so it doesn't state what the plugin does once it detects a blocker, such as a message or overlay, or what settings it has. Check the documentation in the package. The file on record is version 3.0.0 from August 2019. Test it with your current WordPress version and your ad setup on a staging site first.

Key features

Ad blocker detection: Detects visitors who use an ad blocker, which is what the name says.
WordPress plugin: Installs like any other plugin and runs on your WordPress pages.
Aimed at ad-supported sites: Filed under blog and business service, where display ads are a common income.
Response options: What it shows to those visitors isn't stated in the listing; see the documentation.

Is it right for you?

A good fit for

Bloggers and publishers who earn from display ads
Sites that want to know how many visitors block ads

Look elsewhere if

Sites with no ads, where it has nothing to protect
Anyone who doesn't want to show messages to visitors who use blockers

How to install Anti AdBlock Detector for WordPress 3.0.0

1
Download the file
Open My Account → Downloads and download the product. If the archive contains several zips (documentation, child theme, licensing files), you need the one named after the product.
2
Upload it to WordPress
In your dashboard go to Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin and choose the zip.
3
Install and activate
Click Install Now, then Activate. If an older or free copy is already installed, WordPress offers to replace it with the uploaded version.

Setup: using Anti AdBlock Detector for WordPress 3.0.0

Read the documentation. Find out what the plugin shows to visitors using blockers and which settings exist.
Install on a staging site. The file dates from 2019, so confirm it runs on your current WordPress.
Configure the message or action. Set the response in the plugin's settings page.
Test with an ad blocker on and off. Visit the site in a browser with a blocker, then without, and confirm only blocker users see the response.

Common problems and fixes

The message shows for visitors who have no ad blocker

Why it happens: Detection scripts can misfire when a caching or optimisation plugin delays or combines JavaScript.
How to fix it: Exclude the plugin's scripts from minification and delay settings, then clear the cache.

“The link you followed has expired.” when uploading

Why it happens: The zip is larger than your server's PHP upload limit (upload_max_filesize / post_max_size).
How to fix it: Raise the upload limit in your hosting control panel, or unzip the file and upload the folder to wp-content/plugins with your host's file manager or SFTP.

“The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.”

Why it happens: The uploaded zip is a bundle (or a theme), not the plugin itself.
How to fix it: Unzip the download once and upload the inner zip named after the plugin.

“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”

Why it happens: Usually a PHP version older than the plugin needs, or a second copy of the same plugin (for example the free version) still active.
How to fix it: Check your PHP version under Tools → Site Health → Info, deactivate any other copy of the plugin, and enable WP_DEBUG_LOG to see the exact error.

Licence or “updates unavailable” notices

Why it happens: The developer's licence key isn't included. Features that call the developer's servers (template libraries, cloud APIs, automatic updates) need it.
How to fix it: Everything that runs locally works without it. For a newer file, use Request an update from your account.
