Sites blocked but nothing in Block Content

When Opera blocks a site, if I right click the page, select Block Content and then Details, nothing shows as being blocked so I have no way of unblocking the site.

This appears to happen on a wide range of sites.

One today: http://r.ashampoo.com/r.php?id=74799&ri=e07c&u=8305309&lk=bnnfSdS0

I saw that post but it didn't help.
The Block Ads suggestion appeared to have no effect.

If you need to unblock something, you can do so from Preferences > Advanced > Content, Blocked Content. But realize ... if you didn't just now block something on a page (if you're trying to see what's on a page that you might already have blocked) you can't do that since Opera never loaded the content you blocked and therefore can't show it to you. You'd need to disable content blocking for that page and then reload before you can see what's blocked.

Thus to the nub of the problem. There is nothing in "Blocked Content" so where is Opera getting it's blocking info from?

EDIT: Ok, I see what you're saying. How do you disable blocking?

This site is blocked by Opera: http://zenpress.zatz.com/public/serveID?id=00016546&tracker=computingunplugged|mo|plite.co.uk|

Again, there appears to be nothing in "Blocked content"

All I get is a page on Amazon, don't know if it is supposed to do that.

You can disable the content blocker in Site Preferences. From either the right-click menu (on an empty area of the page) or the Quick Preferences menu (F12), select Edit Site Preferences. Under Content, you'll find Enable Content blocking - clear the checkbox to disable the content blocker for that site only. (It'll disable all the content blocking rules on that site, so even if the content is actually from another site it'll display while you're on that site.

Strangely, I'm getting the Amazon page now which I think is what it's supposed to be. So why was it blocking yesterday and not today when I haven't changed anything.

Thanks for the info on unblocking sgunhouse. Must have missed that when I was looking around.

What actually decides Operas blocking decisions? Especially when there appear to be no entries in "Blocked content"

This is starting to get really annoying. There is nothing in blocked content in Preferences/Advanced/Content and I still get pages blocked on numerous websites. Right clicking on a page and turning off "Enable Content Blocking" also has no effect.

This problem seems to be due to a conflict between Ghostery and the latest version of Opera. I have had no more web sites blocked since I uninstalled Ghostery.
