I’ll ask them to do this, but they may have moved on from my site, thinking it was my problem, not theirs.

If it’s still happening on WordPress.com sites we definitely want to know about it, but there haven’t been any new reports of this since we disabled most ads on iOS 2 weeks ago. Please let me know if you hear from that, or any other visitor, again.

His Twitter response:

Ya, did that, thx. Weird stuff. Btw: your plugin is great!
Why does it show up under ‚custom‘? Couldn’t search ‚alex‘ in the titles.

Excellent, thanks. Then they most likely picked up the adware on a different site and it just popped up when they visited yours, but I don’t think your site was the source in this case.

In the German forum there is now also a case (IPhone & Google Chrome): https://de.forums.wordpress.com/topic/popup-werbung-in-meinem-blog?replies=4#post-43107

@ingwerlatte1

Can you please ask them to try clearing the Safari browser data as I suggested above? If they still see the pop-ups after doing that, please let me know.

The pop-ups are still there.
But there is no safari browser, the people let me know, that they use Win10/Chrome or Android. They come frome a facebook post to the wordpress site.

@torstenf it’s been a while since we saw this. Can you gather current screenshots and share them?

I could produce the “error” now times.

If I come with Android from a Facebook link (incidentally generated by WordPress automatically) to the blog, there is this iPhone advertising.

Then I have …
– Aircraft mode
– Facebook app finished
– Clear Facebook app cache (page opens in the app)
– Aircraft mode

Then once again a Facebook link to the blog called, same result: the iPhone advertising reappeared again.
