[BUG]Adblock Plus is blocking products on my website

Post by Ruben »

Hi,

We have an electronics webshop in Belgium. For the past week we've noticed some images of products are missing in their category on our website. You can see this on the following URL:

Code: Select all

https://www.stuffenough.be/trendy-gadgets/wifi-usb-adapters/
Image

As you can see, the images of these Wifi adapters are not showing, even though the images are definitely there. After some research I found out Adblock Plus was causing this to happen.

Here is an example of how the products are supposed to be showing:

Since a lot of people (including me and all of my colleagues) use Adblock now, barely any of our (potential) customers are seeing these products displayed on our website properly.

We hope something can be done about this faulty block, unfortunately we were unable to find any other way of contacting Adblock. We have already recreated these products on our website entirely, and tried out several different image formats. Is there anything else we could try?

the issue is with this filter:

Code: Select all

-adap.$domain=~l-adap.org
which is blocking these images:

Code: Select all

https://static.webshopapp.com/shops/087774/files/174179297/wifi-usb-adapter-mini-dongle-network-wireless-adap.jpg
due to this part in the product name:

Code: Select all

-adap.
You have 2 ways:

1. fast: contact the devs of your website and tell them to remove / rename that part
2. slow & very slow: report directly the issue to easylist authors:
