Alternatives to the asterisk?

    First of all: thank you very much for this really perfect plugin. I love it.

    Now comes the “but”, otherwise I wouldn’t have written here. Ebay is really getting on my nerves at the moment. They complain about unlabelled links on my site, but don’t get specific.

    I can only guess that they don’t like the asterisk. Could it be replaced by a small superscript “ADVERTISEMENT” or a normal-sized “(advert)”?

    It would be nice if this option could be added, as the legal situation in Germany is as follows:

    “Affiliate links should be correctly labelled by the direct and easily recognisable addition of the word “Anzeige” or “Werbung” to the respective link.

    If the display options are limited, it is also possible in exceptional cases to add an asterisk (“*”) to the link.”

    Now one can argue about “limited display options”. But I don’t want to wait for a warning letter from a lawyer. ??

    Thank you in advance
    Greetings
    Michael

    Hi @hessi2,

    ich antworte dir einfach mal auf Deutsch: Du kannst das CSS für den * einfach überschrieben. Zum Beispiel:

    a[rel*="sponsored"]::after {
  content: "(Anzeige)";
  font-size: small;
  margin-left: 3px;
}
