As mentioned in your other posts, these links are working fine for me (in the UK).

Thanks for checking Pete. I appreciate it. Looks like it’s working fine then. Now my only concern is caching.
It would be so great to find a cache plugin that is known to work with the link localizer.
Try some others out, find out what works, and let us know 🙂
Or try contacting the author of the plugin which breaks things! 🙂

It’s very hard to test what’s working on our end as you’ve seen since proxies are so inconsistent and I don’t know any other way to test well without a friend on the other side of the pond.
I don’t know that I’d say the cache plugin is “breaking things.” I assumed there is just something in how caches work in general that your plugin doesn’t account for. Didn’t I see you mention somewhere that it has to do with how the caches compress or something like that?
In any case, I could be wrong but it seems more like something the link localizer would have to adapt to rather than the caches be able to adapt to.
But I’d really like to hear others’ opinions on this. There must be others who really need to localize links and use caches both. Maybe if there were enough of us we could chip in and pay you something for your time.
@bu810 – not sure if you saw my comment in the other thread, so I’ll share the tip here too.
If you’ve gotten it working, just without running W3TC, you might be able to still use W3TC – go to the Minify settings page and scroll down to the advanced options and try adding the JS file for this plugin to the section that says Never minify the following JS files:
add this to that field and W3TC should avoid minifying the file…
wp-content/plugins/amazon-affiliate-link-localizer/js/amazon_linker.min.js
Getting it working with W3TC is definitely important, since it’s one of the most used and most efficient WordPress cache plugins, with nearly 2 million downloads. It has a lot of things to configure though, which can lead people to think that it’s breaking things if it’s not configured properly. Give that suggestion a try and let me know if it works. If you need to, you can also disable minification entirely in W3TC and still have the other parts of the caching plugin continue to work.
