Hi Taturo_blast,
I’m guessing, based on how they work, that the shortcode text appears regardless of whether ad blockers are enabled or not. If I’m wrong about this, let me know because that is very strange behavior and should not be able to happen.
Assuming my guess was correct, and based on the information you provided, I have a few ideas as to what it may be or how to help trace the problem. I’ve listed them roughly in the order I’d try them (based on simplicity and likelihood of solving the problem).
1.) Can you verify that the shortcode exists in the list in the Ad Blocking section of your WordPress admin, and perhaps recopy the shortcode into your location. This is to make sure the shortcode wasn’t erased or altered somehow.
2.) Is the ad located in a sidebar text widget? If so, it is possible a theme update or another plugin may have undone the enable shortcode in text widget trick I have linked all over the place. You may need to re-add the
add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');
to your functions.php file.
Adding a dedicated widget is on my to-do list and they won’t have this problem.
3.) Try deactivating (not deleting) and reactivating the plugin. This should not delete any of your settings or shortcodes. But it will cause the plugin to reassert itself in the eyes of WordPress and occasionally solves problems.
4.) If none of the above fixes the problem, can you show me the output in the JavaScript console I discussed in an earlier post in this thread (instructions re-included below).

JavaScript Console Instructions
The JavaScript console is also known as Console, Web Console, and Developer Console in various browsers, and can be found inside the developer tools areas of your browser menu.
Specifically, I’m looking for a block of text that looks something like this (yours may be a bit different):
ABD Detector:: iframe removal detected! (Detection Method: iframe css changed to hidden - frame.css('visibility') === 'hidden' || frame.css('display') === 'none')
ABD Detector:: No div removal detected
ABD Detector:: js removal detected! (Detection Method: Bait javascript file prevented from loading and execution!)
You can take a screenshot and post a link to it here, or simply copy and paste it like I did above.
