Thanks for confirming that, Thomas.

Ok, will do, thank you, Thomas.

Thank you, Thomas.

Would you clarify what external ads are? Are they ads like Adsense that come from another site?

Hi Thomas

Thank you for your fast reply!

You can see the Ad Label issue here:

I’m not entirely happy with the theme i’m using at present, so would custom CSS only work for this theme?

I’d like to find a different theme at some point, but i’ve had various problems with other themes, so i plan to stick with what i have until i finish up the site.

My current theme isn’t ideal, but it doesn’t have the problems that the others had.

Actually, i just looked again and know what happened.

I carefully combed through the Meta section instead of carefully reading the instructions!

Thank you very much. That’s so obvious, i don’t know how i missed it.

I can only think i was looking at another screen (instead of the Bing tab).

Given changing the theme to 2017 fixed the problem, is there any advantage to setting up WP_DEBUG?

This issue has alerted me to the fact i have to check that the theme is compatible with EAL. Is there any way to do this besides activating it and seeing?

My webhost told me there were no php errors (and has told me how i can find the relevant file in future).

I’ve done all the things you’ve suggested.

I’ve written to my webhost about php errors and am waiting to hear back.

I disabled all the plugins that i installed after EAL to see if that made a difference – it didn’t.

Then i installed 2017 and miraculously all my links worked again. How is this? How can themes interfere with the operation of the plugin?

In any case, thanks for your help.

Ok, thanks Brecht. Good that there’s no limit to the number of links you can create.

Links are going to mysite/go/1234 but stopping there. They are not going on to the merchant’s site. Because i don’t have my WordPress site live, but am just using it to store affiliate links at present, people can’t even click a link on my site to go to the merchant.

I have installed a couple more plugins since EAL, so i will investigate further and will post again when i find out more.

Now i have another problem: instead of going to the target site, links are going to the address of the cloaked link ie instead of going to affiliateproduct.com/1234 links are going to mysite/go/1234.

Having just swapped over 35 links to now find they don’t work is pretty alarming.

I think i will have to look at another solution.

Ok, i have more to report now.

I thought i’d install and try again while it’s still fresh on my mind.

Initially all uploads failed with an exclamation mark in a red circle appearing on images.

After trying 2 or 3 times on one image, that did work. I also got the odd additional image to upload. But most didn’t.

A few took some time to download before coming up with the exclamation mark error (more than a minute).

The error always appeared when the progress text said, “Resizing image.”

Thanks for your reply, DC.

I uninstalled the plugin soon after i wrote my review, and didn’t get notified of your response (email issues).

From memory, both clicking the image and icon gave the same result. But i’m not positive and would need to load it and try again.

In any case, i accept i should have asked for support before leaving a review – i think it was just my frustration talking.

I will aim to install the plugin again and see what happens before the month’s out.

I use mac os 10.12.6 (Sierra).

Browser is Firefox Quantum, 58.0.2.

I’ve actually been unable to delete/deactivate/uninstall this plugin multiple times now.
