In reply to: [Auto Affiliate Links] Changing Amazon links on an acquired siteHello. Right now, the plugin does not replace existing affiliate links. However, your suggestion might be a good addition in a future update of Auto Affiliate Links.

In reply to: [Auto Affiliate Links] Cloaking failWhen the cloaking option was introduced, the rewrite settings were flushed after the plugin settings were saved. Later, WordPress updates changed the way it was working and the calling of the function to flush rewrite rules was discouraged. Later, it started causing problems in some environments and I decided to stop calling it from the plugin, and instead, instruct users to visit the Permalinks settings page, which should work, but it seems that it is not working in all environments. I will change instructions to let people know that they need to save permalinks to make the new cloaking links work.

In reply to: [Auto Affiliate Links] Asterisk (*) and performance questionHello.
Thank you for using Auto Affiliate Links.
There is an option in Auto Affiliate Links->General Settings, called Affiliate Link Disclosure, that will let you add a character or a string after each link added by the plugin. It should word with almost anything because it accepts HTML code too.
Regarding the impact on page loading speed, the link addition on runtime require some processing, but in most cases this is neglectable. We have thoroughly tested the impact on performance and we ran different ways of doing this with a minimal impact in loading speed. I think significant impact in loading speed might appear for very long articles ( 10.000+ words ), or if you have too many keywords ( around 1000 ). If you think that impact in loading speed is considerable please send us details about this so we can test your specific setup ( post length, type, links, etc), and we will try to update the plugin to minimize the impact.
The plugin is not adding links over the existing ones. However, on particular situations, like bad-formatted links and non-standard links, there were cases when the existing links were overwritten or broken by the replacement engine. We have worked to fix any particular situation that appeared and with the help of users who reported the problems we were able to fix the problems that appeared in many situations. If you have problems with overlapping links, let us know and we will try to fix it.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Auto Affiliate Links] Removal of the pluginHello.
Auto Affiliate Links plugin is displaying links only when the content is displayed. Links are not inserted in the database, so the content saved is not affected in any way. All links are added on display when a page is loaded.
Auto Affiliate Links plugins is creating 2 database tables and is storing plugin options in default options plugins. If the plugin is uninstalled trough the WordPress plugins interface, the uninstall function is called which will remove the tables used by the plugin and all options created.

Sorry for the late reply.
Unfortunately, at this point, we dont have the feature to check if a product is out of stock or not, but it is something we might add in the future.

In reply to: [Auto Affiliate Links] Cloaking failHello.
Thank you for reporting this issue. I need more information to be able to figure out what is happening. For example, please tell me what is your permalink structure. You can send a screenshot to contact [at] autoaffiliatelinks [dot] com
I have tried to replicate your issue on one of our test sites. When I first changed the permalink variable from “goto” to “go”, it didnt worked. Then I changed the variable to “redirect”, when I changed it back to “go” it also worked and I was unable to replicate the issue anymore.
What I observed is that you need to visit the Settings -> Permalinks page, and the permalink structure will be flushed. There is no need to update anything there.

In reply to: [Auto Affiliate Links] Numerical in the Cloaked LinkHello.
In the way the cloaking system is built, we cant remove the number, which is the ID of the link. I will try to upgrade the cloaking system to work with an unique slug.

In reply to: [Auto Affiliate Links] Page links to its own pageHello. I have tested and it is working on our test servers – no links are added that point to the same page where they are generated.
The problem might be specific to your configuration. This is why I asked for a links where the problem appears. So I can see what is happening.
I need to be able to replicate the issue so I can provide a fix.

In reply to: [Auto Affiliate Links] Page links to its own pageHello. Thank you for using Auto Affiliate Links.
As far as I know, it should not add a link to the same page where it is generated. I will check it on my test servers to see what is happening.
Please also send me a link to the page where this is happening.

In reply to: [Auto Affiliate Links] Can’t delete link/keywordHello. Thank you for reporting this issue.
There might be a javascript issue on your site that causing the script to break and prevent links from delete/update.
Please watch the console in the browser developer tools. CTRL+SHIFT+I in Google Chrome. And then click on Console tab. Refresh the page and try to delete a link, then send me the screenshot with warnings and errors to contact [at] autoaaffiliatelinks [dot] com .
