Hello – Had everything setup and working on a staging site, then once we migrated the site to the production server AdPlugg stopped working completely and is showing the following error in console: Loading failed for the <script> with source “https://www.adplugg.com/apusers/serve/A48212104/js/1.1/ad.js”. Tried deactivating the plugin and re-activating with no luck. Why would this be happening when everything was fine on the staging site just minuted prior? Thanks Just updating here for the benefit of others. The problem ended up being that the ads were being blocked by an ad blocker that was running in the user’s browser. We are working to come up with solutions or warnings for this scenario. In the meantime, please ensure that you don’t have any ad blockers running when using AdPlugg. Thank you for your response. Having a possible popup notification on the front-end about “You are using an AdBlocker” or something so it is not something that is buried in console warnings would be awesome. Additionally, with having AdBlock enabled, it prevents the images from showing up thus leaving blank spaces, having some type of backup contingency for this scenario would also be nice. Good ideas. We’ll work to get something in place.
