SHOPIFY Currency Conversion Widget Being Blocked

Post by wingman »

Hi guys. So there is a very popular currency converter widget called Best Currency converter that's used on Shopify by quite a few shop owners including myself.

As you can see using my store as an example

Code: Select all

http://www.yeoyo.com
ABP seems to be blocking out the currency selection options in the top right.

Is there any way you can avoid the currency drop down being blocked by ABP as this will greatly effect any international sales for me (and other Shopify owners) by customers with ABP who wouldn't be made aware of the conversion option existing on the site?

too broad filter:

Code: Select all

/\:\/\/data.*\.com\/[a-zA-Z0-9]{30,}/$third-party,xmlhttprequest
You need an exception filter like:

Code: Select all

@@||data.grizzlyapps.com/$xmlhttprequest,domain=yeoyo.com
but you have to report the issue at easylist repository:

Hi mapx

Yes I'm not sure you understand. My concern is not regarding my accessing my own site and not being able to see the currency coverter but rather that customers accessing my site with ABP would not be aware of the currency conversion on the site as it being blocked by default for some reason.

So a customer would not be aware of placing an exception in their filter list to see the currency drop down from the header menu!

I need to know how to avoid the currency conversion option on my site being flagged as an advert by ABP which it is clearly not!

I already told you: report the issue at the links above. Sure, the filter above is not for you ...but I only explained you what type of fix you need for your site.

well ... again:

you have to report the issue at easylist repository:
https://github.com/easylist/easylist/issues

or / and
easylist forum: https://forums.lanik.us/viewforum.php?f=64

You have to add to your report which sites are impacted by this issue (yeoyo.com ... other ?) and if all these sites are using:
data.grizzlyapps.com requests
