Thanks for the reply. That’s good to hear.

is there a timeline for 3.0?

Regards David

Hi,

Many thanks. That has worked, and the issue with Brevo has been resolved.

Regards, David

Hi,

Yes, that is the plugin I am using.

Regards, David

No response so I deleted the campaign and aded it again. Seemed to work!

Version 19.5.1 availability is displayed but cannot be installed. Reports Download Failed

I have seen this message intermittently when I try to search for items to add into a post or page but never on a published page.

It’s annoying considering it’s the Amazon published plugin and it doesn’t behave with the Amazon site itself!!

Waiting a second or two and then searching again works for me when writing a post but if this is happening on a published post it will not look professional and reduce the stickiness and return rate of visitors.

Would be interested to see what the issue and fix is.

Thanks. I think mine may be a cache problem as the text from Amazon shows but not the image. Thanks anyway. Glad you fixed it.

Hi Sherry, no I’m not so should be OK

Hi Sherry, Glad you fixed it. I tested my Geo Targeting ads this weekend as planned and it seems to be working – but now I notice images don’t always show! Not a grey box, just the image missing icon but could be the same thing.

What was the fix for your issue? I might try it and see if it fixes my issue too.

Thanks in advance, David

@sherrywp the 777 is a UNIX operating system thing so they may have set it to 755 but it works so all good.

I plan to do some testing over the weekend on geotargeting but testing it when you can’t change countries is a challenge. I found a site https://www.geoscreenshot.com which might help once I set up the Ads correctly for my US and UK Associate IDs

Hope you solve the image issue. I had a look at your site and all images show for me but ypu may have a test page not published with the issue. Is it Amazon images you have issues with or those added to your own WP instance?

I agree @sherrywp it’s frustrating that for such a large organisation Amazon assistance is lacking.

All I did was download the file that @uttrichp linked to, extracted it on my computer and the used a free ftp tool to upload it to the correct directory on my site.

I then checked it and the directory it was in had permissions set to 777.

That made the error message go away but I do wonder how I can confirm it is installed and functioning correctly with Geolocation.

I am concerned the installation didn’t work correctly due to this error and the absence of any other error messages isn’t enough.

Thanks @uttrichp – that worked for me too I can now move forward.

You’re not the only one – I get exactly the same message:

“ERROR – The file used to fetch country details to enable geo-targetted links doesn’t have read permissions. Please give recursive read/write permissons to:/home/davidr32/public_html/aic/wp-content/uploads/amazon-associates-link-builder/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb. In case you are still facing the issue, please change download folder in Site Wide Settings section on this page.”

I have given “777” recursively to all folders below “uploads” and also created a separate “amazon” folder at domain root level with “777” and still get the message.

When I change the downloads folder to the folder I created at root level it seems to just ignore it and give the same message as above.

Resolution would be appreciated

David
