Hi:
Please enter your Associate id into the settings page [name]-20. Associate ids are locale specific so you will need to register with Amazon UK and etc if you want to get credited for sales to that location.

P.S. The next version 2.0.0 will have this message removed entirely.
Hi,
You can ignore the message. The reason it is displayed is that some functionality of the plugin is dependent upon the Amazon Product Advertising API for searching of products and your AWS keys have not been entered into the settings. To make the message go away you can insert any string into the Access and Secret Keys fields.

Hi,
The WordPress-Amazon-Associate plugin (WPAA) comes built with ip2nation support. If a new version of the ip2nation database is available then an update button will be present on the WP – Amazon > ip2nation admin page. Simply click and ip2nation will be updated automatically.
If no update button is available than your instance of ip2nation is up-to-date.

In reply to: [WordPress-Amazon-Associate] Causing problem with other widgetsVersions < 1.5.3 of the plugin incorrectly were not utilizing the widget stylings as defined in themes. Using the latest version of the plugin should resolve any styling/formatting inconsistencies.
[amazon_enhanced asin=”B0032Z751C” … container=”div” /]
Will output the enhanced ad wrapped in div tags
<div>...</div>The container_class adds a css class to the container element for styling purposes
[amazon_enhanced asin=”B0032Z751C” container=”div” container_class=”float-left” /]
This will modify the output to:
<div class="float-left" >...</div>Of course for this to work you need to have the css class “float-left defined in your websites css.

In reply to: [WordPress-Amazon-Associate] Conflict with Amazon Machine Tags shortcodesMake sure that it is enabled in your php.ini file. Although it is installed it may be commented out in the file disabling. The only reason you would get the error Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() is because cURL is not installed or disabled.

In reply to: [WordPress-Amazon-Associate] Conflict with Amazon Machine Tags shortcodesHi:
This is not a plugin compatibility issue. WordPress Amazon Associate requires the cURL extension be installed to function fully. As part of 1.6.0 I extended Geo-Localization of static amazon product links. This requires a request to amazon to verify the localized link exists so visitors are not sent to 404 Page Not Found error page.

Hi:
Version 1.6.0 is now released that adds the attributes container and container_class to the amazon_enhanced Shortcode which can be used to float the enhanced ad.
of course you could always wrap the enhanced ad in a floating div that would have the desired result:
<div style="float:left;">[amazon_enhanced .../]</div>Hi, Currently there is no easy way to float the enhanced ads. When I added the container and container_class property to the link and image Shortcodes I should have added it to the enhanced ads as well.
I’ll add this change into the 1.6.0 release that I hope to have wrapped up this coming week if all goes well.

Do you have Ad Blocker enabled in your browser? If so the widgets will not display.

In reply to: [WordPress-Amazon-Associate] Causing problem with other widgetsWhat Amazon Widget are you using in the sidebar? I don’t see any of them in the pics.
Thanks Eva for pointing this out. It appears I did not do $arg extraction of the widget functions. Version 1.5.4 will resolve the issue which will be released tonight/tomorrow depending on verification of another versioning issue with the preg_match_all function and pre PHP 5.2.2
