My, what a delightful plugin, and it's free? Wow, you're too kind - can I buy you a pint?

You most certainly can you kind and gracious soul! There is a PayPal donation form here and I promise to spend all proceeds on beer: http://petewilliams.info/donate

I've installed the plugin, but the links aren't changing

To ensure it doesn't slow your site down the script waits until everything else is loaded before running. Make sure the page is fully loaded before checking your links.

Why do my links go to a search result page, not straight to the product

The script works by looking at product IDs. If the product exists on the local site with the same ID, then it'll link to there. If not, it will get the item's name and link to a search results page for it. This means that, for example, even though the UK and US PlayStation 3s are technically different models as they have different plugs etc the user will still get a link to a PS3.

Does it work with Amazon Widgets?

Not yet. Most of the widgets work by embedding iframes into your page. The script cannot access the links as they are actually on Amazon's page not yours. I'm looking at adding support for these in a future version. Install it anyway though - it will work with your normal links and won't do your widgets any harm.

Does it work with WordPress plugin x?

I've not tried them all, so I really don't know! Give it a go, it can't do any harm. Basically it should work with any Amazon link that is in the HTML of the page. If it's embedded in an iframe, Flash or anything outside your own HTML it will not work.

Are there any links that don't get localized?

Wishlist links aren't localised as a wishlist only exists on the site you built it on. Links to Amazon's Groupon clone (AmazonLocal) are also not affiliated because there is only a US site and it is not covered by the affiliate scheme.
