    Hi,
    I just try to work with this plugin, but all outgoing affiliate links to amazon are with target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow noopener noreferrer”>
    The noopener and norefferer eliminates the affiliate provision because the tracking is blocked from wordpress. How can I change the target to self instead of blank in this plugin?

  • Hi,

    can you elaborate why the values “noreferrer and noopener” block the affiliate tracking?

    I had been usind the Amazon Associates Link Builder before, where also all outgoing links had those three values (for a reason), and the link tracking worked as expected.

    Thank you in advance for an explanation.

    Cheers,
    Sascha

    Only rel=”nofollow” is set in the ASA1 template. In my tests with WordPress 5.4.1 “norefferer” does not get set for target=”_blank” links.

    If you don’t want target=”_blank” links, you can customize all of the templates included in ASA1. Check the guide to learn how to do this: https://www.wp-amazon-plugin.com/guide/

    Another option is to add some custom code or use a plugin to remove the noreferrer which is set by WordPress as an security fix. Check out this article: https://wpbloggerassist.com/remove-noreferrer-in-gutenberg-from-the-latest-wordpress-update/
