Plugin not working

    I am setting up a site on WP 4.9.4. with the IsleMag theme.

    I’ve installed the Associates Link Builder plugin and configured it with my credentials as described.

    I can use the tool and add a shortcode to a post or page, but simply nothing happens. Nothing displays, there isn’t even a gap where the shortcode is.

    I’ve added a couple of screenshots of what I am adding and what displays. Any suggestions for common problems please?

    I see you’re using the theme “islemag”. Perhaps it is interfering somehow with the display of the amazon code.

    Or your browser is suppressing them, believing it’s an ad it should block.

    Have you tried another theme? Are you using an ad blocker?

    I’ve got all all ad blockers disabled. In any case, I can generate advert links manually with link + image and they work fine.

    It looks as if there are multiple issues here, both theme and browser related.

    I’ve got another site I am building so I did an install of the plugin on vanilla WP 4.9.4 and made some comparisons

    The results are:
    IsleMag + Firefox Quantum = nothing displays
    Vanilla 4.9.4 + Firefox Quantum = nothing displays
    IsleMag + IE 11 = nothing displays
    Vanilla 4.9.4 + IE 11 = the link is there, but all that displays is the price (it should be a full text and image picture of a kindle)

    If the behaviour is this unpredictable I think I am going to be better off just building my links manually. I suspect in the long run it will save me both time and sanity.

    That’s strange.

    My site works without any problem, with Firefox Quantum (58.0.1), as well as IE11, Chrome, and Opera.

    I’m fairly certain that it’s not the plugin itself.

    With your plain-vanilla WP installation, I presume you have not installed any other plugins? That screenshot you posted, with which theme was it done? I could try to reproduce that on my local WP site.

    The only plugin that’s ever been active on the vanilla site is the Amazon Associates Link Builder plugin. Now, in actual fact, I did have the IsleMag theme installed, but I got rid of it for the test. The theme on the site when I did the test is Twenty Seventeen which I am pretty sure is the default theme on the vanilla install.

    Found the problem!

    Duck Duck Go Privacy Essentials add-on for Firefox. Disabled this and iFrames are working.

    Thanks for the input on this one.
