      How can I report a bug? request help? request a feature?<\/dt>\n

      If you find a bug in the WordPress Amazon Associate plugin then please let me\nknow by emailing it to matt@mdbitz.com<\/a> or posting the\nissue in the Support Forums<\/a>. You can also\nreport it through my trac project<\/a>\nusing the login credential of \"user\" with password \"guest\". Another way you can\nreach me is through my website<\/a><\/p><\/dd>\n

      Do I need to configure the Amazon Web Service Keys<\/dt>\n

      No, however by not inputing a valid Amazon Web Service credential you will not be able to\ninsert amazon product links and images through ShortCode, the content editor's\ntinyMCE control or the Quick Links Module.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Does this plugin support Multi-Author websites?<\/dt>\n

      Yes! As of version 1.4 of the plugin we have included a Multi-User module that\nif enabled allows authors to set their Amazon Associate Ids on the users profile\npage. Product links in page\/post content will then be tagged with the author's\nassociate ids, and if not set will default to the ids configured on\nthe WP - Amazon * > *Settings<\/em> page.<\/p>\n\n

      Version 2.0 and later of the plugin enable sites administrators to define a percentage\nof links where the administrator's associate id will be used instead of the author's\nassociate id.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      What is Link Localization?<\/dt>\n

      Link Localization is the generation of a product link that is localized to the\nusers version of Amazon. To give a quick example if you have your default locale\nset to United States and a visitor of your website is from France then they would\nbe presented with a link to the amazon.fr website instead of amazon.com. This\nis an optional feature that makes use of the free ip2nation<\/a>\ndatabase. To make things as easy as possible the WPAA plugin includes the ability\nto detect if you have ip2nation installed and if not install it for you.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Can I choose which locales to support?<\/dt>\n

      Yes, not everyone will want to support link localization for all of Amazon's\nLocales. This is why we have built in the ability to disable locales you don't\nwant to support. If a visitor from a disabled locale visits your website they\nwill be presented with a product link localized to your default locale.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Why is Product Preview not working for my website?<\/dt>\n

      At this time there is a confirmed bug with the Amazon Product Preview code\nthat in some wordpress themes the previews do not occur. This error is due to\nthe Amazon script including it's own version of jQuery into the page causing a\nconflict. To resolve the issue an optional jQuery.noConflict call to remap\njQuery is included if selected by the user on the admin screen. If product\npreview still does not function for your website review your page source to see\nif additional jQuery versions are loaded, if so they need to be set to\nnoConflict.
      \nAlso at this time product preview is only supported for 1 locale at a time. We\nare in the process of reviewing the code to see if this can be overwritten to\nallow for product previews of all locales instead.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      My website currently uses other plugins for displaying Amazon Widgets, How can I switch to your plugin without rewriting my existing content?<\/dt>\n

      In version 1.1 we introduced a new compliance module to the plugin. This enables you to\nmake WPAA compliant with the ShortCode used in various other WordPress plugins for\nrendering Amazon Widgets. For the full list of compliant plugins visit\nWP - Amazon > Compliance in your WordPress Admin pages. From this page you can also import\nyour Amazon Associate Tags\/Ids from the Amazon Link and Amazon Link Localizer plugins.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Does Wordpress Amazon Associate support I18n localization?<\/dt>\n

      Yes, we have built the plugin to support localization, and have provided a\nwpaa.pot file in the languages folder of the plugin. If you have a translation\nfor the plugin please send the po\/mo files to\nmatt@mdbitz.com<\/a> and I can incorporate it into the\nproject for other users.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
