    Great plugin! I have been using it for about 2 months and find it very full featured and capable of a lot.

    I was appending the product URL’s with Google Analytics campaign tags using the plugin. I wanted to get get better tracking out of my PLA feeds in Google analytics. I set the link attribute to “add suffix” to the Permalink for the “link” XML attribute in the feed.

    When I use the “Save and generate” function in the edit feed area the proper permalink is used and the string I append needs a question mark: https://www.glasshousestore.com/product/pro-drilling-guide-and-drilling-platform/?utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=googlepla&utm_campaign=goolge_pla

    When the feed is automatically updated the URL is not the standard permalink for my site. In this case the campaign parameters need to be added with an &:
    https://www.glasshousestore.com/?product=pro-drilling-guide-and-drilling-platform&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=googlepla&utm_campaign=goolge_pla

    My preference is that both the manually and automatically generated feed files use the same permalink structure, so that my test and automatically generated files are the same…

    Here is the feed. Depending on when you pull it it will be the manual or automatic version:
