    Hi there,

    My customer experiences a weirdly issue that I am unable to solve (and reproduce) easily and would appreciate your analysis.
    For some reason, some 3rd-party ADS SPURIOUSLY APPEAR BETWEEN IMAGES AND THEIR CAPTIONS and this clearly is an unwanted feature.

    My customer see this on his computer and solely uses Chrome (Mac). This does not shows up on Safari.
    Please note that I am unable to duplicate on similar OS the same problem.

    In the private part of this message, please find links / screengrabs of this issue together with close ups (screenshots) of code snippets highlighted by Google Dev Tools (Firefox does not show this problem so Firebug would be of no use)

    Is it a Google Chrome related only issue?

    SYSTEM Description:
    WP 4 + ENFOLD 3.0.2 with API key
    PLUGINS :
    – WordPress SEO (Yoast – activated)
    – Duplicate Post (activated)
    – WP Rocket (disabled)
    – EWWW Image Optimizer (activated)

    Hi Alexoidea!

    That looks like a Chrome extension. Have him deactivate all of his Chrome extensions and plugins to see if they go away.

    Cheers!

    Hi everybody,
    Short answers: uninstall / reinstall Chrome for whatever reason. This client Chrome messed up, and reinstalling fixed everything.

    Longer answer. This client swore he did not touch anything, that ABP (adblocker) had been installed 2 years ago and nothing in between happened blah blah. And coming out of nowhere, a mysterious act of god enabled ads to populate the pages… Don’t believe this crap.
    As this person returned to work today, the website was fact checked against every company computer and the problem did not show up on any other system and browser. This is what prompted unistallation and reinstallation of Chrome. And now, tada, everything looks perfect.
    This spoiled a full sunday with lots of un-necessary verbal tension along the week and stress in between as I wondered what did I do wrong.

    Business As Ususal ;)

    Thx to the team as always,

    Alexoidea

    Hi guys and girls,
    Err the story is not over… Some of the client’s friends also see spurrious ads and I am awaiting for documented proof.
    I had this issue examined today by a top dev friend of mine. He also experienced similar problems in the past with non secure hosts or the like with malicious-like code injection etc, not from the themes, but again, from insecure host servers. If Enfold had any similar problem someone would have noticed it much earlier by now.
    More to come. There is a problem and I will fix it.
