I will certainly be rating it!

Didn’t realize I needed to check that. Never have had to, but while I think about it, it is a good customization. *humbled*

Thanks for your help. Is the out put on your testpage on of the templates built in, or is that a customization you did? I really like it…..

You’ve got the top output rss feed plugin that I’ve ever seen.

Peter

Thanks Allen. That would be truly beautiful if I could get it to work.

Here’s what it looks like on my site when I use a shortcode that contains that URL within a specific category:

https://cardagents.com/test

Excuse me, but I don’t believe this; it does have images. It works with other plugins (which don’t output as nice as yours), and it works with basic php code through wordpress’ basic rss feed handling (which doesn’t output as nice as yours). I would like it to work with your plugin.

The feed is the following. It’s an eBay feed. So of course it has images.

https://feeds.feedburner.com/ebay/yIZY.

Hi, I reinstalled 3.9 and will see if this helps. I don’t have too many items. I will respond if it has not deleted again after a few days.

Thanks,
Peter

Thanks for the reply. I guess what I am saying is that it isn’t in my list of plugins either. It is not on my sidebar or in my plugin list. Only the folder was created which I can see in my ftp directory. I know it installed a folder, because if I try to install it again, there is an error that states the folder already exists.

Yes, the lines are commented out. Thank you. I have it set up now as you suggest. You’ve been great, and I hope this burden I have given you the past few days has had a positive effect for you and/or your product. Anything you should need, let me know.

Take Care,

Hi, in the widget I have:

[amazon asin=B00ETRARLC&template=simple]

In the template I have:

%LINK_OPEN%<img src=”%THUMB%”>%LINK_CLOSE%

I tried what you told me and it worked, so I trimmed it down to the above and it also works. So, I get a link now with solely the asin using the simple template. Seems like some good progress.

Peter

When I edit the template and update, it brings me to a page that only states “Are you sure you want to do this?” under a “Template” header. The update does take effect, but there is no option to say yes or know.

The end result is there is no change to the page. I do not receive an error message (I feel that is a good thing ?? )

Then I added the link around the thumbnail in the template (I still am sent to a page asking me if I am sure with no way to get back besides the back button on the browser). I still am using the shortcode [amazon asin=B00ETRARLC&title=title test&artist=artist test&template=simple&thumb=https://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41kzTb9pQ8L._SL160_.jpg] in the widget. It does not give me a link. But still no error at least.

Peter

Hi,

The link does NOT display, the image DOES display, and there is NOT an internal server error – and this is with or without the lines commented out. Meaning, regardless of those lines commented out, the text1 I added works (only it does not give a link, only an image).

Right now there is no error, the image displays, the link does not, and I have the lines commented out in addition to the template and shortcode modifications. However, I could reinstate the 2 lines of code and you will still see the same thing.

Thank you again!
Peter

Hi, that allows for the image to display without an error on the page. But it only displays an image, not a link. FYI, commenting out the above didn’t make any difference in terms of what was displayed.

A second concern is, where do I get the text1 for each asin? (I would have to find and add this, along with the asin, to each shortcode?)

Thanks for helping with the progress,
Peter

Hi, it fails in both scenarios. I didn’t have/never had it enabled, and assumed not to as you had mentioned to try disabling it.

Peter

I don’t have a specific contact at GoDaddy. I just talked to the average level help desk rep (customer assistance) for about 45 min. and got him to talk to his admin level rep. It is pretty much whoever is available, and their contact number is on their website.

I am happy to help, I have a vested interest in making this plugin work in the way I need. Which shortcode should I put that string into? [amazon asin=B00ETRARLC&title=title test&artist=artist test&template=simple] or [amazon asin=B003UV98BI&template=thumbnail&chan=default]?

Thanks,
Peter

Hi,

Turning off those options did not seem to make a difference.

The simple template worked, however as soon as I tried to pull an image in (%thumb% or %image%) the error came back. My goal is to display an image for a kindle book in my top widget for advertising purposes.

Results from my hosting provider: I called and they took a look at the error messages. After looking into this, Godaddy states this plugin isn’t optimized correctly and it is causing issues on the server backend and throwing flags, so it’s blocked for any site (which is strange because it works aside from pulling an image into a plugin). They state this plugin is a widespread issue on their servers.

Thanks,
Peter Silas

Ok, thanks. I had set up error log tracking and plan to call my hosting provider in the morning to see what turned up. That is a great idea to do this shortly after, I will make sure to trigger it. Then I will also troubleshoot the other ideas. Thanks for being so helpful and invested in a positive experience for me. It’s a free plugin and I appreciate it.
