  • Quick question. In this thread (#8) 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.

    Yes it is this issue, which has been reported for at least 4 months (I now found 6 mth old threads even) and not been resolved. It’s hardly a solution to expect people to uninstall their popup blocker (disabling doesn’t help), when most people don’t even initially realize that it’s your plugin that suddenly broke their WordPress visual editor. So for this to be unresolved so long and for you to say it’s “identified” and to pretend that there is no “outstanding issue” is quite ridiculous. It is identified as caused by your plugin, so it would be nice if you’d fix it and not cause people’s editors to break just because they installed and activated your plugin. I noticed that now after my review you have responded to einsiol who proposed a solution and offered help in the implementation. In your comment to einsiol you also mentioned the problem as being related to the URLs you use in your plugin and that you want to fix that. But you already made that same comment/promise 6 months ago in another thread about the issue here (#8) and until today it has not been fixed. So I don’t know if now you are finally going to fix it yourself or work something out with einsiol, but I hope so in the interest of the people (myself excluded) who still want to use your plugin. Otherwise at least leave a prominent warning that the plugin could break the visual editor if ad blockers are installed, as you have known for 6 months now. Cheers.
