Amazon Affiliate links randomly blank when blog post is rendered

  • I have an error that is not consistent. Sometimes when I view my blog posts the amazon affiliate product links are blank. At other times, they are present. The missing ones appear to be random. eg. one time a recipe might say “add salt, pepper, chili powder” (with all three items being amazon affiliate links) and at other times it might say “add salt,,” or “add ,,chili powder”.

    I have this problem on unpublished draft posts as well as published posts. As I mentioned, very random and not consistent. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated – thank you!

    Hi, I’m using WordPress.com and setup a page to sell gym clothes – I have the same issue and wordpress suggested I try this forum. Has anyone gotten back to you yet?

    I formatted a large table with 3 products per table (I had 4 and thought that may have been my issue, so I changed the table to 3. At first I had several tables to break it up, but I changed to one large table – both designs have the same issue. It’s inconsistent and unreliable…

    Oh and it loads very slowly too..

    Here are 2 of my site pages

    From Support at WordPress: here is the document from wordpress when they replicate the issue..
    the Amazon shortcode is not loading the proper product, and I’m afraid this is not something we can test from our end without some help from the plugin developers. For example, when I first visited your page, a lot of the images were missing:
