Ah, there we have the difference. I’m running PHP version 5.6.30. Perhaps that’s what matters.

I’m pretty positive that it’s not the fault of the version 4.7.4 of WordPress nor of version 1.4.3 of the plugin. I have both of them and it’s working perfectly. It must be some other plugin interfering here.

I don’t think so. Like I said yesterday, it’s working correctly with 4.7.4.

I tried it just now (on WP 4.7.4 and with plugin version 1.4.3) and it’s producing results both for search terms and for ASINs as expected.

Perhaps another plugin or WYSIWYG editor is interfering your search?

Well, in this case you haven’t updated it since version 1.4.1, and we’re two more versions on…

How do you know you had clicks in the first place?

I do see clicks in my statistics on the Amazon partner page. Unfortunately people haven’t actually bought anything yet. But the clicks to the product pages are being tracked correctly.

This is weird! My website is running on https as well and I have not encountered such an error. Have you perhaps switched to https after installing and enabling the plugin?

The path fragment “/trainercompare.com/www.trainercompare.com/web/content/” looks strange… There’s one “trainercompare.com” too many.

Have you fiddled with the general settings “Website URL” and “WordPress URL”?

Hi Gioni,

thank you for your quick reply.

Yes, you are right! Debugging… Now that you said it. I had been having issues with another plugin recently and had debugging switched on.

With the debugging switched off on site A, I could export and import the access list without error.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Problem solved!

I’m no expert, but it looks like an invalid or expired SSL certificate at your end prevents establishing the secure connection. Check your server’s SSL configuration or try http instead of https.

I do have the same issue with the trailing space.

Here’s my template code:

{{#Items}}
  {{#Item}}
    {{#aalb}}
		<a href="{{DetailPageURL}}" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" title="Produkt bei amazon.de"><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/amazon-16x16.png" height="12px" width="12px"/>&nbsp;<b>"<i>{{Title}}</i>"</b></a><!--Individual attributes are provided as variable tags as {{attribute}}. Check documentation for list of supported variable tags.-->
    {{/aalb}}
  {{/Item}}
{{/Items}}

Here’s how I use the tag (associate id hidden):
(z. B. [amazon_link asins='B01I1E3Z30' template='Custom-Product-Link' store='xxxxx' marketplace='DE' link_id='']).

And it indeed DOES add a space after the link:
(z. B. “Fleckl?ser Sprühflasche 250 ml & Fleckl?sestift 9 ml – Ulrich natürlich” )

I would prefer NOT to have a blank space before a closing bracket or any other puncutation mark.

Thanks and cheers,
Sascha

You seem to be using “wordpress.com”not “www.ads-software.com”. I think that’s a different thing, being a standalone server installation. In that case, somebody else needs to assist here. Sorry. ??

I would like to reanimate this topic as I am having trouble setting up a redirect.

What I try to achieve is to redirect BOTH, requests to my domain using WWW, and/or the ones using HTTP to the https version without www.

In other words:
https://www.mydomainname.com –> https://mydomainname.com
https://mydomainname.com –> https://mydomainname.com
https://www.mydomainname.com –> https://mydomainname.com

I’ve combed through countless tutorials, both in blogs and on youtube, but they always treat only ONE aspect of the above.

The confusing thing is that my .htaccess file already has a code snippet for a redirect by WordPress. So I tried to combine the two myself and copied and pasted the part marked with comments to my .htaccess file:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# My own301 redirect BEGIN
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.mydomainname\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://mydomainname.com/$1 [L,R=301]
# My own 301 redirect END

</IfModule>
# END WordPress

This got me into trouble, as the WordPress theme apparently couldn’t find stylesheets anymore, and clicking links to the WPAdmin console resulted in errors 404.

How do I do it right?

Thanks in advance for any assistance,
Sascha

Try adding this path to the domain name in your browser’s address bar: /wp-admin/plugin-install.php

This should open the install page for new plugins. In the top right corner there’s a search field where you can enter “Amazon Associates Link Builder” as search term.

Hope that helps!

I guess that you created a distinct user for the API and entered those credentials in the plugin.

However, you must not use a “child” user but instead the root user of your Associates account to create the Access Key. I had the same problem and spent hours digging through amazon’s documentation, until I found a note by the link builder team here on the forum.

Sascha
