Thirsty Affiliates breaks admin/backend css

I’ve just updated to the newest version of Thirsty Affiliates which has severely impacted the css on all areas of the admin backend. All changes I see are due to https://www.earnologist.com/wp-content/plugins/thirstyaffiliates/css/admin/ta-editor.css?ver=3.10.19 and https://www.earnologist.com/1678961396826/wp-content/plugins/thirstyaffiliates/css/admin/admin_notifications.css?ver=3.10.20-652feee7ba6b7 being applied to seemingly every element in the backend – headings, body, list items, p, text boxes etc..

Deactivating Thirsty Affiliates removes the issue, turning it back on and the issue is back.

On all adming pages, including editors:
Text on all pages becomes light grey.
Headings become incredibly large.
Elementor text in editor boxes becomes tiny and unformatted.
Thirsty Affiliates icons no longer show in editor.
Some menu items are impacted.

Interestingly, the reason I did not find this earlier is apparantely due to uBlock Origin on my browser. When uBlock is enabled, it actually blocks the offending css by default and fixes the issue. With no ad-blocker, Thirsty Affiliates effectively takes over the entire css styling of the admin backend.

Hi @nealbo,

That’s correct.

A browser extension like Ad Blocker or uBlock Origin causes the issue.
We’ve seen some recent changes in these add-ons where they’re getting more aggressive in their blocking.

They now appear to block any script with the word “affiliate” or “aff” in it.

Because our plugin folder is called “thirstyaffilites” these blockers are preventing our scripts from running because it matches “aff” or “affiliate”.

Disabling them helps.

Hi @caseproof, you’re misunderstanding the issue.

With all ad blockers OFF, thirsty afilliates css overrides everything in the backend as above. Thirsty affiliates breaks my admin panel.

I can fix it by turning my ad block ON which blocks thirsty affiliates and stops it overriding everything on the backend. But this also blocks the ability to use it direct in the editor.

Similarly deactivating thirsty affiliates removes the css problems.

Hi @nealbo,

The best would be if you reached out to us via our ticketing system so we can investigate deeper.
