Easy Privacy breaks things in WordPress admin dashboards

[deconf]

I have multiple reports from my users, about Easy Privacy filters breaking things on wordpress.org and on administration dashboards, here are some examples:

wordpress.org
https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-an ... reenshots/

http://postimg.org/image/akmedfvl5/ (no banners and screenshots are displayed)

WordPress admin dashboard (Google Analytics Dashboard widget gets blocked)

and same thing on plugin's settings page.
I was able to replicate the issue only when the Easy Privacy list is enabled (which is a default).

Here is a screenshot of the Console Log:

The maintainer of the uBlock, advicied me to contact you:

EasyPrivacy is third-party to uBlock. You need to contact the maintainers of EasyPrivacy to have the problem fixed for all users, not just uBlock's users.
From what I quickly gather, it appears the filter /google-analytics- is at fault.

Thanks!

Do you have a sample site that has google-analytics enabled on it?

From the install package, it looks like the folder of the plug-in is "/google-analytics-dashboard-for-wp" by default, so I guess "@@/google-analytics-dashboard-for-wp" should be fine. (OP's first link matches).

Edit: Actually OP's link is broken. Here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-an ... reenshots/ (but this can be on any domain, not just wordpress.org).

Thats too generic.. I'm trying to avoid enabling google-analytics whitelist outside of wp..

If it helps, you've probably noticed that I'm always using inline code for tracking. I mean, I'm not adding any of the tracking features in a JS file, just to avoid a general filter on my plugin path.

With this approach I always thought I'm safe. You guys can do your thing (blocking what you need to block) and keeps my plugin's path safe to avoid breaking the plugin in administration dashboards and it's settings page.

I thought this is a safe way to go, but it looks there is a more general filter that affects me ...

Hi,

What do you think about "@@wp-content/plugins/google-analytics-dashboard-for-wp"? Would a filter like this still considered generic?

Thank you!

Is there another sample site where it breaks?

[deconf]

It basically breaks on each site, but on the backend side (the administration dashboard), because there are some css files and js files loaded through that path in order for the dashboard to work properly.

As you can see here: http://postimg.org/image/rhep332j1/, that's a screenshot from a wordpress backend. And here's what gets blocked: http://i.imgur.com/U8kAPuf.png on backend.

When you've asked for a sample I thought you are talking about frontend. If you also want to see the backend, I could give you access to one of my test sites, if you need to drive further tests.

I need a sample/working site of where its being used to avoid creating a whitelist to generic. Those screenshots aren't enough

Hi,

I've sent you a sample site, last night.

Thank you.

[deconf]

Hi,

Any updates on this issue?

Thanks

[fanboy]

Don't recall seeing any sample site being sent to me

[anonsubmitter]

You might want to whitelist squarespace.com as well. They offer WordPress for their website building service and Squarespace is quite popular as far as I know. Here is a sample site: http://philipdefranco.squarespace.com/
I don't have any account on Squarespace though, so this is all the info that I am able to provide.

It was a PM, because I've sent you some credentials to the site.

I've sent them again.
