<li>Optional minified script for better performance</li>
<li>Proper internationalization support</li>
<li>Lightweight and fast</li>
<li>Easy to install and use</li>
</ul>
<h4>Modal Closing & Reappearance Options</h4>
Version 1.0.5 introduces advanced modal control with flexible closing and smart reappearance behavior:
<ol>
<li>
Flexible Mode: Visitors can close the modal using multiple intuitive methods:
<ul>
<li>Click the X button in the top-right corner</li>
<li>Click outside the modal area</li>
<li>Click the main button without forcing a page reload</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Force Reload Mode (Default): Maintains the original strict behavior where visitors must reload the page to continue
</li>
<li>
Reappearance Control: When modal closing is enabled, choose how the modal behaves after being closed:
<ul>
<li>No popup again (Default): Modal never appears again once closed</li>
<li>Popup each visit: Modal appears on every new browser session</li>
<li>Popup after N days: Modal reappears after specified days (1-365)</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
Administrators can easily configure these options in the plugin settings to match their site’s approach to adblock detection.
<h4>Popup Logging & Analytics</h4>
Version 1.0.6 introduces comprehensive popup tracking and analytics features:
<ol>
<li>User Activity Tracking: Monitor which logged-in users encounter the adblock popup</li>
<li>Detailed Analytics: View popup counts, timestamps, and user agent information</li>
<li>Paginated Admin Dashboard: Browse logs with customizable page sizes (10, 25, 50, 100, 200 items)</li>
<li>Privacy Controls: Enable or disable logging as needed</li>
<li>User Management: Track individual users with display names, emails, and popup frequency</li>
<li>Quick Access: User names in logs link directly to their WordPress profile for fast management</li>
</ol>
The logging system helps administrators understand: 
* Which users are using adblockers 
* How often the popup appears to specific users 
* Browser and device information for better insights 
* Trends in adblock usage across your user base
All logging respects user privacy and only tracks logged-in users when explicitly enabled.
<h4>Enable/Disable Controls</h4>
Version 1.0.6 also adds granular control options:
<ol>
<li>Master Enable/Disable: Turn the entire popup system on or off instantly</li>
<li>Front Page Only: Restrict popup detection to your homepage/front page only</li>
<li>Logging Toggle: Enable popup tracking independently of the detection system</li>
</ol>
These controls allow administrators to fine-tune when and where the adblock detection appears.
<h4>JavaScript Loading Options</h4>
The plugin offers two methods for loading the detection script:
<ol>
<li>External File (Default): Loads the JavaScript from a separate file</li>
<li>Inline JavaScript: Embeds the code directly in the page</li>
</ol>
Some browsers like Chrome may block external JavaScript files that detect ad blockers. If the detector stops working, you can switch to Inline JavaScript mode in the settings.
<h4>Performance and Security</h4>
The plugin includes both regular and minified versions of the detection script. Using the minified version (enabled by default) provides: 
* Better performance through reduced file size 
* Additional protection against adblockers by making the code harder to detect 
* Faster page load times
