Yes, you haven't run the migrations. The migrations create default settings.

What's happening is that the code is looking at your settings and copying the settings data to the component state. As the settings don't exist, it's setting the state values to undefined when it expects a string instead. While .includes() exists on strings in JS, it doesn't on undefined objects.

If you're sure you've run the migrations, could you send a screenshot of the ads settings (type app.data.settings in Console tab and screenshot the ones that start with davwheat-ads).

    xasharma maybe i should re-check but shouldn't be appearing there in the first place 😅

    Lol google can take so much time when dealing with some issues resolving ads, almost 1 hour 😆

    I would like to update something that i learned overall this week, there is no need of turning auto ads ON in google. This extension already places our ad code where its supposed to display.

    When we use auto ads, its like we are conflicting with this extension. Auto ads is available to help advertisers using googleads to decide where is best to show ads, so when you use autoads, it will show to places where we dont want or where this extension has no control at all, for example in profiles 😂😅 even sometimes google auto ads maybe inside pages but not displaying the ads, and what will you end up with?

    Slow pages, Bad SEO ☹️ So turn off Auto Ads ✅

      MikeJones Ouch, sorry. Good news i have connections to make our ads to be able to show to visitors who are using adblocker. I have been chating with my friend who she works there to process my application, 1 month now its on its final to be accepted. When this goes through, you will try on my site with adblocker ON and also i will share her email so you can process your application too. We will recover lost revenues by then 💪

        i am also working on a anti adblock script but it doesn't work with "ublock orgin, Ghostery – Privacy Ad Blocker and 2-3 more" and works with almost 40-50 other ad blockers.

        I have one more which i found today .... it works with all but the drawback is that its css style is not that attractive.

        Ad this to custom header

        <style>

        And now you have your own anti-adblocker.

        It will look like this -

          Braden news i have connections

          What do you mean by connections

          xasharma that looks cool. Would be an awesome extension if we could customize the message.

          Not sure if I need it though, I actually starting to outpace adsense with affiliate links right now.

          I use an Ad Blocker, and I will happily just find ways to bypass your AdBlock Blockers. I hate sites that use them with a passion, and more often just refuse to use them if they do.

          If I enjoy a website, and it uses reasonable ads, I will normally disable my AdBlocker. If they use some way of detecting ads or playing video ads, or intersitial ads that ruin the movement between pages, I'll keep my AdBlocker on to make a point.

            I tried and I have experienced that the extension doesn't support Anchor ads which looks like this -

            2nd one is Vignette ads - (which appears only 1 one time )

            You can use google ads.
            If you want to stop the conflict b/w google auto ads and extension then follow this setting -

            10,000% behind you here. And if I can't find ways to bypass an ad blocker, I'll simply leave. I really do not like how these things behave and in most cases, they are acting like a paywall to access content which is typically free elsewhere, such as news sites etc.

            This is why none of my sites run ads. I just can't stand them 😡. I run an ad blocker aggressively and also use a VPN for surfing. I'm a huge privacy advocate, and you'll often find more than just ads when they are presented from a third party.

            Tracking is only part it.

              Hahaha, what a Saturday! It feels nice when discussing this topic while drinking mushroom tea. 🍵
              When you show your visitors Please disable your ad blocker to continue, not unless that topic is on the first page on search engines, ranked top or you're the only one having that content, chance are most visitors will leave your site or will find other ways to see the topic, like disabling JavaScript using the Site Info option on the browser, used by may geeks. That's why you need to talk to the owners of adblocker to whitelist your site. This will enable your ads to display to people who have installed ad blocker extensions. This company is called Eyeo.

              We couldn't have got this far without the hand of davwheat. He is the one who made the impossible to be possible. Note: Auto ads is not part of this extension, so when it leaves spaces, or other ads problem, its not because of his extension at all! davwheat completed his job successfully, now we are represented with other settings from publisher sites that we got to deal with them.

                Medicinal or psychedelic mushrooms ? I suddenly get this image of a 70s hippy lounge 🤭

                Braden Please disable your ad blocker to continue

                As soon as I see this message popup, that's my queue to hit the back button. I find it invasive and annoying. I get that site owners need to generate revenue, and I don't have an issue per se with sites that display ads in places where they are visible but not all over the content, but take immediate offence to those that block content until your disable your ad blocker.

                I refuse to lower my security to read content that's generally always available elsewhere without that experience...

                  There is competition between these big companies and there used to be a rumor that Google, Microsoft, and Amazon are also paying to get around Adblock Plus. A good ad visible in the browser window when the page first loads must not collectively occupy more than 15% of the visible portion of the page.
