Hi Monzta.

Well, this plugin is available for all Wordpress blogs and sites. I guess not all webmasters install this plugin since some of them use other tools to get info about their visitors, such as, "GA".
So, by visiting a Wordpress site I think I will not ne able to know if the site has the plugin intalled. Or do you think I can get this type of information? I have a Firefox extension called Ad Hacker (it shows sites cookies, js, watchers).
Reply me, if you can. Thanks.

It it can be blocked, it is in the "blockable items" panel of ABP.

Lorenzo, you meant it is blocked already?
I am not sure about that. And also Wordpress has many plugins, I am talking about the one that works like Google Analitycs getting info. for further statistic analysis.
I am not talking about the plugins that manage ads.
If you can help me w/ that. Thanks a lot.

Sorry, I meant that whatever the object is, IF it can be blocked, you see it in the "blockable items" list.
In the same list, IF it is already blocked, you see it marked in red.

To help you we need an example.

Hi.
I got this at: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/stats/
Click on Installation: You will see some info like this:

wp-content/plugins/stats/.
stats.php and open-flash-chart.swf.
http://stats.wordpress.com/csv.php
stats_get_csv()
Also this big script:
<?php if ( function_exists('stats_get_csv') && $top_posts = stats_get_csv('postviews', 'days=7&limit=8') ) : ?>
<h3>Currently Hot</h3>
<ol>
<?php foreach ( $top_posts as $p ) : ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo $p['post_permalink']; ?>"><?php echo $p['post_title']; ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ol>
<?php endif; ?>

So, what do you suggest me? I guess if I add the filter (the first one above): wp-content/plugins/stats , it will be enough...
Bye!

You must find ONE blog with the plugin installed, see what related objects are listed as "blockable items" by ABP and then set the proper rule(s).
