[Plugin: WordPress-Amazon-Associate] Nothing in the content of a post

1) Damn, I didn’t think of testing in another browser. When it worked with some, but not all, I expected it to be a problem with the categories. Firefox shows fine, Chrome is fucked with some categories.
I tried to deactivate all plugins in Chrome, no difference.

2) I’ve done this. Now multiple times.I’ve signed up to all the associate sites, not china and japan though (I don’t get readers from there anyway) and I’ve specified my ID’s in each and every single of them, saved the settings, but the plugin keeps deleting what I’ve saved. I’ll try once again.

3) Yes, I did that in a heartbeat, didn’t really need this feature anyway.

Hi:

I just tested the test page in IE8, Safari, Firefox and Chrome I see the test page rendered correctly in all browsers. Unfortunately you are the only person that has had an issue with the plugin settings not saving, can you let me know what server settings you have as this is not an issue with the plugin code itself. What other plugins are you using.

This is how it shows for me.

It does it with Videogames and automotives categories. Books works fine. Chrome, tried with all chrome plugins disabled.

Plugins for wordpress or chrome? ??

Strange, I’m not sure why your instance of chrome would not be showing the links/image/enhanced ads correctly it is HTML and should be rendered correctly.

As far as why your settings are not being saved to debug I’d need to know what WordPress plugins and Server configuration you have to determine if there is some conflict.

I’m running W3 Total Cache, and this is the only one that I suspect. I’ll let you know if it keeps changing the ID’s and I will test the different plugins off as well.

I’m running Chrome 12.0.742.100, did you test with that version? I’ve had problems with windows live calendar with this version of chrome.

Hi Matthew,

The problem persists with the links and pictures not showing correctly. How does it shows for you?

Hi, I’ve done some in depth review and have found the underlying issue. For the majority of the products they don’t exist in the UK locale with the given ASIN. To correct you can update the WPAA settings with United States as the Primary locale this will make it so if the products aren’t found in the UK locale they will default to the US locale where the products do exist.

I guess it’s because the games have different region codes, thus they assigned different ASIN codes.

I just checked, and the settings say that US is my primary one.

Hi Again:

I’ve been working on the next version of the plugin and as part of the updates I’ve added an option for administrators to view the website as a specified locale. This addition allowed me to view the content as you saw it rendered.

As it turns out there was a bug in the APaPi library that is used within the plugin. When the plugin checked if the request to amazon was successful it was incorrectly getting success when in fact an error had occurred (e.g. product doesn’t exist). I’ve since made the appropriate changes to fix this and the next version will resolve the issue.

I’m currently debating if I’ll release a bug release for this fix or if I’ll wait until I’ve completed all changes. Either way the next update will resolve the issue.

Thanks! I have time enough on my hands, so don’t rush it because of me. ??

Keep me updated though, as I want to use this plugin when it’s solved.
