Wikia's "Related Pages Module Wrapper" being hidden

[Jarkes]

There's this thing on Wikia where at the bottom of each page, it gives you 3 quick links for that particular wiki that are related to the current page that they're on. For the past several months now, those freaking Taboola ads cover them up when I don't have Adblock Plus enabled. But when I do have ABP enabled, the Taboola ads disappear (since they're no longer on your whitelist -- thank god)... but so does the Related Pages stuff. When I scroll to the bottom of a page, I see the related pages for a split second before they disappear.

I've tried everything. Making exception rules, seeing if there's an invisible element preventing them from appearing (which is something I've encountered a few times lately)... but nothing gets them to properly appear again. And I don't fully understand how I'm supposed to use CSS to fix that either (which some folks have recommended to me).

What should I do?

Add

Code: Select all

||taboola.com^$domain=wikia.com

or the filter suggested by mapx here > forum/viewtopic.php?p=152763&hilit=%7c% ... 5e#p152763

That's not the problem. The problem is that it makes the "Related Pages" thing at the bottom of the page disappear as well. What I'm trying to figure out is how to get the "Related Pages" thing to NOT disappear and still have the Taboola stuff blocked, because judging by the source code of the different pages, the placement of the code for the Taboola stuff is what's causing the "Related Pages" to disappear when the Taboola stuff is blocked (and when it's NOT blocked, the Taboola stuff covers up the "Related Pages" entirely).

An example page / screenshot will be helpful !

[Jarkes]

Here's this page (http://kirby.wikia.com/wiki/Kabu), and what the bottom currently looks like.

There should be three links to pages related to this particular page elsewhere on the Wiki at the bottom, like so (these links disappear after about a second, so it was hard to get this screenshot):

it's something like an anti adblock :/ when they detect adblock plus, these three links are replaced by taboola recommandation.

Try these filters:

Code: Select all

kirby.wikia.com#@#.plainAd
@@||ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/ad/$image,domain=kirby.wikia.com
@@||d3ujids68p6xmq.cloudfront.net/x.js?$script,domain=kirby.wikia.com

Would using a similar filter for just wikia.com do that for all wikia sites?

EDIT: Yep, just tried it as a general filter for wikia.com, and they worked like a charm. Thanks.

I have this same problem but I use Chrome, which is not accepting:

-as a viable filter. Can you help me too?

Ok I see what happened, that first line needed to be moved to the end. Did so and it works now, thanks.

Okay, so it was working until just a few hours ago, but now all of a sudden the Related Pages stuff is being blocked again. However, when Adblock is disabled, it no longer hides the Related Pages Module Wrapper underneath Taboola ads. The exception rules filters I made before haven't changed, and the hits for them are even taking note of them, so I'm wondering what's going on.

these filters are working for me

Code: Select all

@@||cloudfront.net/x.js?$domain=wikia.com
wikia.com#@#.plainAd
@@||ad.doubleclick.net^$image,domain=wikia.com

[Jarkes]

Well, for some reason, they're not for me even though ones like it did before, and even the plainAd one is getting extra hits as if it is working.

[mapx]

use only easylist + the last filters above (did you try exactly my filters above ?), see if works
don't use some other blocking addon, only ABP

[Jarkes]

Yes, I am using those exact filters, and it's still not working even though it did before. And I'm not sure what you mean by "use only easylist".
