    Ok. I’ll look into this. First need to make sure simplepie isn’t stripping the query string as I know the plugin code doesn’t do that.

    It looks like SimplePie is stripping the querystring out…you can see what I’m talking about by going here and putting in your feed – you’ll see the resulting links have the tag stripped out

    https://simplepie.org/demo/

    I’ll need to see if someone has figured out how to get simplepie not to do this (note, the plugin, which is central to WordPress, uses simplepie to read the RSS feeds).

    Hi Allen,

    yes I see what you mean with regard to Simplepie.

    I realize that you cannot be expected to deal with issues outside the plugin’s coding, however, I have a solution if your interested..?

    I mentioned in my first message about concatenate the affiliate link onto your variable for the links. Well I’ve tried this over the last couple of days & it works perfectly!

    Admittedly it does mean editing all the template code sheets, but this should be fairly easy & straight forward to add as an option under Global Settings.

    Thanks Steve…

    Yes, I put this into github (where we work on the plugin) as an enhancement so this will come out with a global setting to put in the tag so it can be added later on.
