Unblocking a pop up ad

I need help from myself! 😟

I use ESPN's fantasy baseball website. I wasn't getting the full use of the page on my iMac, like I was getting on my wife's laptop (not a Mac).

I figured it was a pop up ad that wasn't functioning correctly because there was a white space where I new an ad would normally load.

So, in my infinite wisdom, I right clicked and blocked the pop up ad. It worked so well now all I have is a complete white webpage.

I tried using the "Undo my blocks on this domain," but that does not bring the page back.

Any ideas?

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)

If you have AdBlock installed, that's probably why you are seeing, ""undo my blocks on this domain".

Instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

Also, deleting cookies may help...

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab then click: Remove All Website Data

Then quit and relaunch Safari to test.

my Safari becomes slow and finally I am told that program is full. I have updated my Capitan already twice. I have reloaded from my time machine. No sucess. I am working now with CROME.

What can I do to use my Safari?

This is too difficult for me. I shall use Crome instead of Safari. Tried to update Safari Capitan three times. No success.

Thanks for the advice.

Apreciate your assistance. I was lucky. Our son appeared and CLEANED UP my Safari. As IT expert he did not show me what he did. Anyway I am back on track.

Thanks and regards
