   this plugin is enabled.

 * einsiol: Do you have an ad blocker installed? Others have reported that an ad
   blocker blocks some of the advertising manager editor code.

 * Your right, it’s the adblocker that is causing this issue. I would recommend 
   you add a option to disclude functions from being added to the Visual Editor,
   in my case there is no need for it 🙂 If you would like help with it I would 
   be happy to help out if you host your plugin in a git repository.

 * einsiol: Thanks – this is a problem with the plugin URL being “advertising-manager”–
   Working on this one now. WordPress has svn plugin repo – I tried to mirror to
   github – will try again and let you know where it is. Cheers.

 * Quick question. In this [thread (#8)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updating-to-latest-visual-editor-not-working?replies=9)
   from 6 months ago, you said this:
 * “Seems like the term ‘advertising-manager’ is being blocked by ad blockers! I
   will look into the ramifications of changing this part of the URL to ‘advman’.”
 * Sounds exactly like what you are saying here now. So you still haven’t done it.
   I mean you didn’t run that test or change the URLs from advertising-manager to
   something else yet? I understand that people get busy, but you’ve known this 
   for 6 months now. And you didn’t even put a warning about the issue in the description.
   I think that would have been a little effort for you to do to save people the
   frustration of losing their visual editor and then having to figure out what 
   caused it and how to fix it.

 * I recommended before that you add an option to disable the plug-in to be associated
   with the visual editor. I would recommend instead to disable it by default from
   the visual editor and add a option to enable it.
 * While you are working on this I would recommend to remove the feature all together
   and push out a new version ASAP. Until then it has to marked as broken for anybody
   using ad-blockers.
 * This plug-in can be useful, but I can’t enable it on client project knowing it
   can break their installation.
