Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about ZDN Adblock Detector

The plugin uses multiple detection methods to reliably identify when ad blockers are being used, including bait elements and behavior analysis.
Yes, the plugin is designed to work with any WordPress theme.
If the detector stops working in Chrome: 1. Go to Settings > ZDN Adblock Detector 2. Change the JavaScript Loading Method to "Inline JavaScript" 3. Make sure "Use minified version" is enabled These settings will make the detection code harder for browsers and adblockers to block.
Yes, we recommend using the minified version (enabled by default) as it: * Improves performance * Makes the code harder for adblockers to detect * Reduces bandwidth usage
Yes! Version 1.0.4 introduces the "Allow Modal Closing" setting that gives administrators full control:
* Visitors can click the X button to close the modal * Visitors can click outside the modal to dismiss it * The main button closes the modal without forcing a page reload
* Visitors must click the main button, which forces a page reload * This maintains the original strict behavior for maximum effectiveness You can find this setting in Settings > ZDN Adblock Detector > Overlay Content section.
To access popup logs and analytics: 1. Go to Settings > ZDN Adblock Detector 2. Enable "Enable Popup Logging" in the main settings 3. Navigate to the "Popup Logs" tab to view detailed analytics 4. Use the page size dropdown to customize how many entries you see 5. Use pagination to browse through all logged popup events
No, the logging system is designed to be lightweight: * Only tracks logged-in users when explicitly enabled * Uses AJAX for non-blocking background logging * Database queries are optimized with proper indexing * You can disable logging entirely if not needed
Yes! Version 1.0.6 includes page targeting options: * Front Page Only: Enable this to show the popup only on your homepage/front page * Disabled: Turn off the popup completely while keeping settings intact * More page targeting options may be added in future versions
