In reply to: [Amazon Associates Link Builder] Access key is not recognizedHi hobbystash,
I’m sorry for the difficulty you’re having with the plugin. In order to troubleshoot the issue, can you please check the following:
- You are using root account credentials in the setting console. IAM credentials are not supported for Product Advertising API. If you would like to generate a new set of credentials, please follow the instructions listed in Manage Your Account.
- The email address used for Product Advertising API must be linked as a primary or secondary email address in your Amazon Associates account. If it is not, please follow these guidelines to add the Product Advertising API email address as a secondary user in your Amazon Associates account You will be able to successfully access Product Advertising API once the secondary user is successfully added.
Hope that helps.

In reply to: [Amazon Associates Link Builder] Access Key Not RecognizedHi danzcwk,
IAM credentials are currently not supported for Product Advertising API. You must use root account credentials.
To retrieve your AWS account security credentials:
- Sign in your AWS account at AWS Security Credentials Console. Use the same email address and password.
- A pop-up message appears. Click Continue to Security Credentials.
- Click Access Keys (Access Key ID and Secret Key).
- Click Create New Access Key, and then click Show Access Key or Download Key File to retrieve the credentials.
- Save the access key information in a safe location. You will use these credentials to make calls to the Product Advertising API.
You may also refer screen shots of the complete flow from here.
Thanks,

In reply to: [Amazon Associates Link Builder] associate TagAssociateTag is an alphanumeric token that uniquely identifies an Associate. This token is the means by which Amazon identifies the Associate to credit for a sale. Associate ID, Tracking ID and Associate Tag are indeed interchangeable.
Follow these steps for setting up Associate ID:
1. As an administrator, go to Associates Link Builder > Settings.
2. Add your tracking ids in the Associate ID list and select your default Associate ID. You can add one store id or tracking id per row. You are recommended to create a new tracking ID in your Amazon Associates account for using it as Associate ID in the plugin.Important
At the time of adding a shortcode, make sure to select an appropriate Associate ID. Verify that the selected associate id is correctly added as store='<selected-Associate-ID’ in the amazon_link shortcode.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Amazon Associates Link Builder] No Secret Key is acceptedTo retrieve your security credentials:
- Sign in your AWS account at AWS Security Credentials Console. Use the same email address and password as you used for signing up for the Amazon Product Advertising API.
- A pop-up message appears. Click Continue to Security Credentials.
Click Access Keys (Access Key ID and Secret Key). - Click Create New Access Key, and then click Show Access Key or Download Key File to retrieve the credentials.
- Save the access key information in a safe location. You will use these credentials to make calls to the Product Advertising API.
Important
- You can access the secret access key only when you first create an access key pair. For security reasons, it cannot be retrieved at any later time. Ensure that you save both the access key ID and its matching secret key. If you lose them, you must create a new access key pair.
- IAM roles are not currently supported. You must use the root account credentials.

In reply to: [Amazon Associates Link Builder] Price doesn’t matchHi simbian,
22,39€ was being offered as a lightening deal on Amazon.it. Prices for lightening deals are not returned in Product Advertising API and hence, the plugin.
Thanks!

In reply to: [Amazon Associates Link Builder] Two questionsHi ryangallagher,
1. Currently, there is no way to modify the title of the product, as the title is fetched from Amazon in real time for display. Nonetheless, we will try to provide this flexibility in a future version of the plugin.
2. Ideally, {{CurrentPrice}} should grab the main price displayed on Amazon product page. Please share a few ASINs (with marketplace information) with price mismtahc, so that we can assist you further.
Thanks!

Hi Libby Dyson,
Seems like the fatal error is because if another plugin you are running “welcome to WordPress”.
Can you try deactivating/deleting that plugin?Hi joeconno1,
Can you tell us what version of WordPress you’re running on?
Seems like wp_json_encode was introduced after v4.1.0.Forum: Plugins
