Your debug log shows you disabled the Default group (enabled=0 means disabled):

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Groups
   id    enabled  name                                                date_added           date_modified        description

Since this is the only group you have, all rules are also disabled and Pi-hole won't block.

Solution:
Enable the Default group.

thank you very much for the link. I there also a document or manual for those new functions have been searching a long while now. especially for the new items in the pi-hole.
