Can I whitelist all websites with a specific sub-URL?

Post by Paddy Landau »

I'm posting this on Chrome support because I use Chrome, but it's most likely applicable to all desktop browsers.

When working on the backend of a WordPress website, AdBlock Plus blocks a number of supposed ads. I discovered this because I found something wasn't working, and when I disabled ABP, it worked.

The specific backend that I was working on had zero advertisements, yet ABP was blocking 34 items!

My query is this:

Is it possible to whitelist all websites that have a specific URL? Specifically, all WordPress backends have the URL format:

Code: Select all

<domain>/wp-admin/...
For example, all of the following are valid backend URLs for WordPress.

Code: Select all

https://example.com/wp-admin/
https://example.com/wp-admin/options-general.php
https://example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=et_theme_builder
In other words, I want to whitelist every page that has /wp-admin/ in its first part after the domain name, regardless of the domain name.

So, can I whitelist the following, where * means any top-level domain?

Code: Select all

https://*/wp-admin/
I've read the help, and I can't find how to do this.

Thank you
