Can you delete all the flash exceptions, close out of the dialog, close Opera, start Opera back up, add the exceptions this way:

[*.]opera.com
[*.]bbc.com
[*.]radiohambastegi.se
[*.]adobe.com
[*.]zigiz.com
[*.]othersite.com

close out of the dialog, restart Opera and then see how it works?

@nvmjustagirl if you consider the screenshot that I have posted above, over Adobe Flash Player page(website) there is Flash player image, but, clicking(right click) on its enable option, it does not work and adblocker does not effect on it, even though it is disabled, I proved it, but the problem was not fixed.

For some reason latest Opera 49.0.2725.39 (PGO) for Windows does not give "allow Flash" button or dialogue on URL bar for number of web sites.

This is what I had to do. I went to settings and manually added the URL for each web site where I wish to allow Flash. Only that way I manage to get the Flash run on those web sites.

I hope this helps others to get this solved. Unfortunately there are number of great services still relying on Flash.

@shahramop Okay. Do you have anti-virus software? Sometimes that can interfere. Usually it's the part of the software the scans pages for for dangerous stuff. Maybe try disabling it.

Also, you said you already uninstalled and reinstalled Opera. You also said that this is happening on multiple computers. But, just for good measure, try a standalone installation. Launch the Opera installer, click "options", set "install path" to a folder on your desktop, set "install for" to "Standalone Installation (USB)" and install. See if flash works that way.

Didn't see it. What OS are you using (also 32-bit or 64-bit) and what version of Opera (32-bit or 64-bit)?

Also, what is the brand and model of your cpu?

Try modifying Opera's shortcut to specify the path to flash explicitly. Then launch Opera with the shortcut.

"C:\Program Files\Opera\launcher.exe" "--ppapi-flash-path=C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\pepflashplayer64_27_0_0_187.dll" "--ppapi-flash-version=27.0.0.187"

(adjust the paths for your system of course)

You can try adding:

--allow-outdated-plugins --always-authorize-plugins

to the command too if you want. This shouldn't help for flash, but you can give it a shot.

Also, try going to chrome://site-engagement/ in Opera. For any of the sites in question, bump the base up to 100 to see if that finally causes Opera to bring up the "allow flash" bar below the tab bar for that site. Or, try setting it lower or to 0. Think setting it to 0 will clear the URL from site engagement.

There might also be a way to use flash group policies for Opera. See the group policy part in this post for more info. You'd have to have Windows that supports gpedit and find some way to modify that template for Opera. Even then though, I'm not sure if Opera supports that like Chrome does.

Hello friends!
I saw most of the posts in this topic and I was appalled.
The amount of crazy things that the user has been asked to do, including renaming the profile to test if it was not in his profile, regardless of whether he has knowledge and what tools (programs) he will use.
I noticed the same problem in all versions of Opera in both Windows and Linux and even have a topic I opened a few days ago (https://forums.opera.com/topic/23278/none-of-the-versions-of-opera-runs-a-site-with-flash-even-in-the-block-exception-list) and so far no answer.
The fact is that both Chromium (where the Opera engine comes from) and Chrome work perfectly with, and in the case of Google Chrome the site has to be in the flash block exception list.
And this in both Windows and Linux, remembering that Chrome has flash embeded, but you can through parameters instruct it to use an external plugin.
And for God's sake someone there spoke to have the NPAPI flash installed for Opera. Only those who use NPAPI are the browsers based on Firefox!
This is a design flaw.
Neither the exception list work instead work on Chrome.
If it worked until some versions ago and it works in the browser where the engine used by all versions of Opera comes out obviously it would have to work with Opera itself but it is not!
Either the developers resolve the issue or stop using Opera when you need to use flash content.
