Ad blocker detection

Last Update: December 15, 2024

For sites that depend on advertising revenue or if you need to get important messages to your visitors, ad blockers can be a big issue. To help alleviate this, the Elementor Editor includes an ad blocker detection, allowing you to work around these blockers.

Using the Ad blocker

In many cases, this feature is used to ask visitors to turn off their ad blockers. In the example below, we’ll create a popup that detects ad blockers and asks users to turn theirs off. 

To create the popup:

  1. Create a popup that contains a button. To learn more about creating popups, see Create a popup.

  4. Select Reload Page from the Actions section of the dropdown menu.
    Reload Page means that after the visitor disables their ad blocker and clicks the button, the ad blocker notification will disappear.
