TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

AdUnblocker is for publishers who want to understand and recover visitors affected by ad blocking. It detects blocked ads, shows a customizable Gutenberg-built recovery popup, and reports detection and recovery activity while storing analytics locally and never saving raw IP addresses.

  • Gutenberg popup design
  • Configurable display delay and targeting
  • Strict, temporary, or dismissible behaviour
  • Unlimited popup drafts
  • Seven-day analytics dashboard
  • Salted hash visitor identifiers
  • Randomized frontend asset generation
  • Keyboard and reduced-motion accessibility

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about AdUnblocker

No. It detects signs that advertising assets are being blocked, displays your recovery message, and measures visitor responses.
AdUnblocker stores event time and date, event type, adblock status, popup ID, normalized page path, broad device and browser categories, a visit identifier, and a salted visitor hash in your WordPress database. It does not store raw IP addresses. Free analytics are retained for seven days and can be cleared by an administrator. The browser also uses local storage and session storage for random visitor/session identifiers, popup state, and recovery tracking. This data stays in that visitor's browser unless it is submitted to your own WordPress site as part of an analytics event.
No. Free analytics are sent only to your own WordPress installation and remain in its database. The client-side detection feature may contact Google AdSense as described under External Services.
Randomized runtime assets are stored below wp-content/cache/. If WordPress cannot write there, AdUnblocker falls back to its bundled script and stylesheet so the site continues to work.
The free edition supports unlimited drafts and one published popup at a time. Publishing another popup automatically returns the previously active popup to draft. Pro supports multiple active campaigns.
Yes. AdUnblocker uses the native WordPress block editor for popup creation. You can design your own popup layouts with Gutenberg blocks, configure their behaviour and appearance, preview the adblock experience, and publish them without writing HTML.
Use the WordPress.org support forum, contact Digital Apps, or report a reproducible issue on GitHub.
