Thanks – superb support yet again – I appreciate it

This is no big deal really but something I’m curious about – it relates to the default blue Buy Now button. I’m testing out Auto Links on two sites and have the same settings for the button in both – however, on one of the sites the white text on the button changes to black on hover, while it changes to a light grey on the other site, which I much prefer. Is there something I can do to make the text change to grey on hover on the site where it is showing as black? I can’t see any field in the button editor to change the text colour. Thanks

Thanks again for your swift and informative reply.

OK thanks – I’m just baffled why I would be getting the Request throttle messages at all considering the site is not every properly live yet, in that it has an under construction home page with no visitors and I’m only previewing a couple of my pages myself at the front end. I have another site using hundreds of Amazon products on many pages that get a fair bit of traffic but I’ve never got the throttled messages or any of the other API alerts. That site had been using the Amazon’s own WordPress plug in that expires tomorrow,

OK thanks – sorry about that – I was being an idiot and clicking the Cache button in the main Default menu – didn’t spot the cache area on the right of the Default area! Apologies!

Thanks – I can’t see any reference to Cache Duration in Settings -> Default -> Cache.

All I see is fields called Sizes, Clear Caches (both imput areas currently blank), Clear Expired Caches (both imput areas currently blank), Compress, Caching Mode ( Currently at default setting of normal to rely on WP Cron to renew caches – is that the correct setting?), Cache Clean-up Interval (currently default setting of 2 days), Maximum Overall Cache Sizes (both imput areas currently blank).

Any further advice you could offer would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks – I’ll try as you suggest

Excellent – all sorted – I’m seriously impressed with your swift and helpful level of support. Thanks

Thanks for getting back to me – it is the List template.

Thanks for that – not checked the development version yet, but if it is not a long way off completion, I may wait until I can simply update to a new version of Auto Links within my WordPress dashboard. Thanks.

Hi – thanks – your support is very quick and impressive. Your advice worked perfectly. Any advice regarding the secret Amazon key info – is it advisable to have it showing in full as it does in your plugin? In my experience it is normally replaced in other plugins I’ve used with asterixes after insertion for security reasons?

Thanks – sorry, I’m not very experienced with code etc so I’m not sure where to insert %button%. I did not create a unit, but set the basic setting in your plugin and my orginal Amazon ads converted to your ‘List’ template style.

The code in the Item Format box currently shows as below so where do I insert %button%:

<div class=”amazon-auto-links-product”>
<div class=”amazon-auto-links-product-image”>
%image%
%image_set%
</div>
<div class=”amazon-auto-links-product-body”>
%title%
%rating% %prime% %price%
%description%
%disclaimer%
</div>
</div>

With regards to my original question is it correct that that my secret Amazon key is showing in full, rather than asterixes?

Thanks for your help

OK thanks – I created a new topic here: Buy now buttons not showing

I am one of those people who was dreading the discontinuation of the Amazon Associates Link Builder on March 9. I just installed the free version of Amazon Auto Links and it works great. It converted all my AALB units to Amazon Auto Links format after a few simple settings. I’m very impressed and plan to upgrade to the pro version. My only problem is that the BUY NOW buttons aren’t showing for products. I can see the product image, title, description but no button to buy. I’ve ticked the ‘default’ box for the button and apply in the ‘Manage Buttons’ area but it doesn’t seem to save or show BUY NOW buttons with products – not sure what I am doing wrong. Hopefully the deveoper will see this post and help me sort it?
Another thing I noticed is the secret Amazon key continues to show in full when inserted in the Amazon Auto Links settings – in any other plugins I’ve used in this past, including AALB, the secret key reverts to a series of asterixes after being inserted for security reasons??
