Amazon Associates Link Builder

Dear @findread,

We have gone through your link and will surely assist you. May you please share your PHP error logs when you load the “user-submitted posts” with us? Also, please let us know that how did you enable the plugin in “user-submitted-posts” so that we can also reproduce the issue on our end?
You can reply here or may also write to us at link-builder@amazon.com

Dear @fossfolks,

Thanks for the information and letting us know this issue. We have identified the root cause and will fix the same in next release. Until then, you have to use TinyMCE editor only. Sincere apologies for the same.

Dear All,

The plugin can only show 10 products as of now from a single shortcode and if you try to add more than that in a single shortcode it will not show any products. The same is true for all the templates whether it’s default or custom. The limitation of 10 products is on the end of ItemLookup API of Amazon Product Advertising API which is used by the plugin.

Dear @guillem_889,

This is an issue with the read-write permissions of the custom template upload folder. Please set up recursive Read-Write permissions for /var/www/html/wp-content/uploads/ (The upload directory path may differ in case you have changed it in WordPress settings. You will be shown an error message on saving cloned template that shows your current upload path). Feel free to reach out to us in case you need further assistance and please let us know if this solves your problem.

Dear All,

You can select a text in the post & then hit the search button. The text will automatically become the hyperlink after you select a product from the pop-up window. Later, you can also replace this text later in the shortcode.

[amazon_textlink asin=’B01J8PBEUM’ text=’some custom text’ template=’ProductLink’ store=’us-store-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx’]

For example, in above shortcode for ProductLink, I have replaced “iphone” with “some custom text”. Please let us know if this works for you.

Regarding setting the custom title for other templates like ProductCarousel or ProductGrid, currently, you cannot add custom titles to your products. We have added this request to our feature list.

Dear @superninchen,

We already fixed this issue in v1.4.7 of the plugin released on July 27, 2017. The fix applies to the default templates only, and you may have to re-create any custom template based off the ProductLink and PriceLink templates to benefit from this change. Please let us know if you are still facing issue with the default ProductLink template in case your plugin version >=1.4.7

Dear @fossfolks,

We are looking into your issue and will get back to you soon. Just one question, is the issue being faced by you is only for Product link template(when you select your text and then hit Search button)? Is the issue also occurring if ProductCarousel is the default template in settings?
