Adblock spot not images, but adrotate itself.
This code plugin insert in header:

<!– This site is using AdRotate v3.11.7 to display their advertisements – https://ajdg.solutions/products/adrotate-for-wordpress/ –>
<!– AdRotate CSS –>

And Adblock read this code correctly. So problem is still there. And if there is no way to fix this problem, than Adrotate turn to be useless.

That means Adrotate absolutly useless for users with Adblock.
Therefore Adrotate Pro just total waste of money.

Thanks for honest explanation. 🙂

In your opinion perhaps. AdRotate Pro has plenty of worth for those who buy it.
Just that you don’t see it or that adblockers do their job doesn’t make AdRotate Pro worthless.

Hello xrundel1
Here is your solution 😉

First deinstall the Plugin from your WordPress, then download the plugin again and follow my instructions.

Step one: Rename the Folder from adrotate to rotate.
Step two: Rename the File jquery.adrotate.clicktracker.js (in the Folder adrotate\library ) to clicktracker.js
Step Three: Rename the File jquery.adrotate.dyngroup.js (in the Folder adrotate\library ) to dyngroup.js
Step Four: Rename the File jquery.adrotate.responsive.js (in the Folder adrotate\library ) to responsive.js
Step Five: Open the File adrotate.php and
Find
define("ADROTATE_DB_VERSION", 51);
After ad
define("ADROTATE_FOLDER", 'rotate');
Find

include_once(WP_CONTENT_DIR.'/plugins/adrotate/adrotate-setup.php');
include_once(WP_CONTENT_DIR.'/plugins/adrotate/adrotate-manage-publisher.php');
include_once(WP_CONTENT_DIR.'/plugins/adrotate/adrotate-functions.php');
include_once(WP_CONTENT_DIR.'/plugins/adrotate/adrotate-statistics.php');
include_once(WP_CONTENT_DIR.'/plugins/adrotate/adrotate-export.php');
include_once(WP_CONTENT_DIR.'/plugins/adrotate/adrotate-output.php');
include_once(WP_CONTENT_DIR.'/plugins/adrotate/adrotate-widget.php');

Replace with

include_once(WP_CONTENT_DIR.'/plugins/rotate/adrotate-setup.php');
include_once(WP_CONTENT_DIR.'/plugins/rotate/adrotate-manage-publisher.php');
include_once(WP_CONTENT_DIR.'/plugins/rotate/adrotate-functions.php');
include_once(WP_CONTENT_DIR.'/plugins/rotate/adrotate-statistics.php');
include_once(WP_CONTENT_DIR.'/plugins/rotate/adrotate-export.php');
include_once(WP_CONTENT_DIR.'/plugins/rotate/adrotate-output.php');
include_once(WP_CONTENT_DIR.'/plugins/rotate/adrotate-widget.php');

Step Six:
Open the File adrotate-output.php
Find

if(get_option('adrotate_dynamic_required') > 0) wp_enqueue_script('jshowoff-adrotate', plugins_url('/library/jquery.adrotate.dyngroup.js', __FILE__), false, null, $in_footer);
	if(get_option('adrotate_responsive_required') > 0) wp_enqueue_script('responsive-adrotate', plugins_url('/library/jquery.adrotate.responsive.js', __FILE__), false, null, $in_footer);

	// Make clicktracking and impression tracking a possibility
	if($adrotate_config['stats'] == 1){
		wp_enqueue_script('clicktrack-adrotate', plugins_url('/library/jquery.adrotate.clicktracker.js', __FILE__), false, null, $in_footer);

Replace with

if(get_option('adrotate_dynamic_required') > 0) wp_enqueue_script('jshowoff-adrotate', plugins_url('/library/dyngroup.js', __FILE__), false, null, $in_footer);
	if(get_option('adrotate_responsive_required') > 0) wp_enqueue_script('responsive-adrotate', plugins_url('/library/responsive.js', __FILE__), false, null, $in_footer);

	// Make clicktracking and impression tracking a possibility
	if($adrotate_config['stats'] == 1){
		wp_enqueue_script('clicktrack-adrotate', plugins_url('/library/clicktracker.js', __FILE__), false, null, $in_footer);

Find
$output = "\n\n";
Replace with
/* $output = "\n\n"; */
Step Seven: Upload the ‘rotate’ folder to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory.
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.

Hello xrundel1
For the Widget use this:
In your Theme –> functions.php

Add

// Adrotate-Hack
require_once WP_PLUGIN_DIR . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'rotate' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'adrotate-widget.php';

class My_Nicename_Rotator extends adrotate_widgets {

function My_Nicename_Rotator() { // or just __construct if you're on PHP5
parent::WP_Widget(false, 'My not blocked AdRotate widget', array('description' => "Show unlimited ads in the sidebar."));
}
}
add_action('widgets_init', create_function('', 'return register_widget("My_Nicename_Rotator");'));
//ENDE Adrotate-Hack

You must then use the new widget “My not blocked AdRotate widget”

best regards R.F.

Have fun doing that on every update and coming up with new names when adblockers update their filters. Or re-doing your widgets with every name changes you introduce. 😉
