I had exactly the same issue after installing this plugin. It also changed my website link, with the URL of a malicious website, my IG description and posted three bitcoin Tesla related stories on my behalf. As the plugin author stated, Smash Balloon should have read only permission, and I was extra careful to check that out when I granted it permission to access my account. However, the timing of what happened is highly suspicious, also because I never ever had any such problem in years of using Instagram. My account is also protected by 2FA, therefore I’m sure this is not a password related problem.

Hi again @pputzer and sorry for the late reply.

The Italian translation is ready and I have just tested it on my website. Please let me know how do you want me to send it to you. Should I post it here too?

If you can provide me with the .pot file, that would be perfect. In the meantime I will also check out the Italian translation community to see if there is any guideline to follow.

Eheh, my knowledge of WordPress is a bit arruginito too. I used to be much more focused on it (as an amateur, that is), but these days I have little time to dedicate to it.

With regard to translations, so far I used a lot PoEdit, but indeed 37 strings are not that bad, so I’ll certainly look into WP.org translation site.

I really appreciate your help and patience.

Yes, I know why you’re kidding. I went to the WP.org translation site today but saw that the Italian translation is just at 14% and most of the others weren’t much better. I would be happy to translate the front-end strings, as I did with other plugins, but I don’t have the time to do more than that, at least right now.

When I first translated “Image courtesy of” I probably looked for the string and changed it in the plugin file(s), although I know it’s not the best solution. Not sure if I’m able to use the ngettext hook though.

Hi @pputzer and thanks a lot for your reply.

In the meantime, I did manage to make the right media credit appear in my linked example page by selecting the three checkboxes under Credit position and Default credit (see screenshot of my media credit settings here: https://gyazo.com/385f4eab68c5d311885f9e0c7e49f1ea).

After the upgrade I lost the plugin original settings and forgot the credited pic was also the featured image of the post.

If you check the example page now, the credit is correct although I still have to translate “Image courtesy of” back into Italian.

Hello again Igor. I just wanted to let you know that after checking your advices and “playing” a little bit with Ad Inserter settings eventually I managed to have all the banners showing up, including the Zanox ones.

I’m still getting used to the Ad Inserter interface, but I see a lot of potential and just bought a license. The next step is learning how to make Ad Inserter work with custom posts types, in order to have different banners to show up in different product categories.

Thanks Igor. I apologize for the few details provided. My website is still under construction and right now I was just wondering if this is a known issue with Zanox ad code, that did not work properly with other ads management plugins as well. I’ll try to follow your general advices and will get in touch again with more info if I’m still clueless.

Thanks a lot Raam. I’m sorry but I had completely missed the theme documentation page.

Just to let everybody know, thanks to Don it turned out that the problem with the Amazon links being stripped of my Amazon affiliate ID was caused by one of my Chrome extensions – ImageFlow for Amazon – PictureFox 1.51 – therefore not a plugin issue.

Hi Don, I have just sent you an e-mail to [email protected].

Thanks a lot Don. I did as you suggested and found out the links produced by Amazon Product in a Post Plugin on my website are exactly the same as the Amazon ones, with no affiliation.

The plugin settings seem alright. I have inserted my affiliation ID (for the Amazon Italy store) and the API settings test is ok, but for some reason the links produced do not contain my affiliation ID.

Is there anything else I should check?

Sorry, I forgot to mark the topic as resolved.

Yes, it is working fine now. Many thanks, quick and excellent support.

Thanks. I updated the widget but I still see the other user’s pics, not mine. However, I am not sure how to clear the widget internal cache. I simply inserted a new widget with the same settings as before along with my Instagram access token.
