Found a Broken Templates Workaround

    Something has happened to this plugin to break templates. Clearly Amazon doesn’t care, but I found a small workaround. This will only work if you have access to your site’s CSS.

    The plugin is looking for your template at: yoursite.com/wp-content/uploads/amazon-associates-link-builder/template/templatename.css

    If you view the source of your web site and search for “associates-link-builder” you should find the link to the CSS it wants for the template.

    Go to that link, get the CSS, copy/paste it into your site’s CSS. This way, the template’s styles will be available to the browser.

    Don’t know what happened to break this plugin and Amazon is clearly not supporting it, but maybe that helps someone. Good luck.

    Dear @jimhodgson,

    The issue that you are facing is because AdBlockPlus filtering list named EasyList has added all the CSS & JS of the plugin into their blocking list in this week. You can check this by disabling AdBlocker and everything will work fine.

    In order to make you wesbite work with Adblocker, you can request Ad-Blocker to remove ‘.aalb-pa-ad-unit, amazon-associates-link- & ProductAd’ from their filtering list. You can report this over their forum or raise an issue on their github stating that these are part of your content.

    In case you are still facing issue after disabling the ad-blocking plugin, please feel free to reopen this thread.

    No, it’s not. I am seeing the same issue on multiple browsers including my phone, verified by WordPress.com support. You are closing this thread erroneously. Please re-open.
