 * Hi,
 * The plugin seems to be blocked by Adblock Plus which I use on Chrome. In Firefox
   where I have no adblocker installed it shows ok (between languages flags & blog
   preview).
 * Any recommendations?
 * Many thanks in advance.

 * Hi, [@puymargriet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/puymargriet/)
 * To allow social elements to appear on a specific site, you could disable Adblock
   Plus for that site: [https://help.getadblock.com/support/solutions/articles/6000055743-how-do-i-tell-adblock-not-to-block-ads-pause-whitelist-and-other-options-](https://help.getadblock.com/support/solutions/articles/6000055743-how-do-i-tell-adblock-not-to-block-ads-pause-whitelist-and-other-options-)
 * There’s no reliable way to make blocked buttons appear for all Adblock Plus users,
   though. Adblockers and privacy plugins often block by keyword, including social
   media network names and URLs. Adblock Plus also has a dedicated feature to block
   social buttons, which may catch regular links to social networks too: [https://adblockplus.org/features#disable-social](https://adblockplus.org/features#disable-social)
 * There’s little that WordPress plugin developers can do to prevent this. It’s 
   generally best to respect a visitor’s decision to block any social elements if
   they choose to do that, rather than try to circumvent that choice or force blocked
   elements to appear.

 * Dear Nick,
 * Many thanks for your quick response – much aprreciated!
 * It is actually caused by the “fanboy annoyance” filter.
 * Will probably delete plugin and find solution via CSS to show these elements.
