adblock plus - undo blocked item

Post by roseypetal »

I've blocked images using adblock plus. Now I want to set one back. So I open Blockable Items and there's an option in there clearly to block images - but I can't see one to unblock them.

Where is the UNBLOCK option for something that has been blocked :!:

please help! I just can't work it out. I know I did it once a few weeks ago, then too it was hard to find... but I can't remember what i did :cry:

on an emergency basis, just disable ABP for that site
( a more windy answer may be in the works )

I'm assuming you blocked the image, using Element Hiding Helper; if not then ignore the above post

Okay I have opened up Preferences.. but there isn't an option I can see titled Element Hiding rules -in any of the menus or in the list. :S Where abouts is it?

All I did was right click images - then select "Adblock this image"

RoseyPetal,
I think if you open the AB+ prefs, you'll see all the exceptions listed in Green text @ the top.
The sites that you have blocked will be next, in black.....before the "Easy List Filter" etc etc list.
Highlight "your blocked site" & hit "Delete".
Go back to your site & check.
As I said, "I think"...
Anyway, it works that way for moi.
I don't play with the settings too much, as the Easy List & Easy Elements filters work well.
Maybe Rick752 or one with more knowledge can verify/correct.

Thanks LIMPET I get it now. That worked. It was under a heading Advertisement Filters. You can also click the little green dot icon on the side to delete. ETA- Actually the little green button just disables it, doesn't remove it from the list. So you need to go back in and click it again to re-enable blocking of that image.

Now I just have to work out which is the one I want to restore!

Thanks all all for the help.

Oh.....Sorry, but I forgot to add that "Advertisement Filter" bit.
A right click to highlight the required one gives you a menu.
If I want to remove any "ads", I just do what you did.
You can also add any to the "Exceptions" as well.
Note how they are entered.....@@| etc etc.
Glad to assist. ;)

I just block a radio station I was playing online. Now I can't unblock it and extra window does come up to play, but not it doesn't play. I don't know how to do this. I used to know how to fix it, but now I forgot.
