This plugin does NOT support current amazon database lookups, and has not been updated
in two years, needs to be removed as it is worthless in it’s current form.

I’m giving it one star because I don’t want others to find it. Yes I am an a**.

This is an amazing plugin that gives you the control that other plugins don’t, and
it’s free! I made a totally custom product ad with image, link, price and editorial
content pulled in from the relevant Amazon store. Superb! Thank you so much.

Amazon Link is a surprisingly powerful tool for displaying or linking to Amazon 
products from your site. It can handle important tasks like changing links to the
correct Amazon store based on the site visitor’s country, but also has many other
options for retrieving and displaying items or categories of items directly from
Amazon, and formatting it to your preferred layout.

### 󠀁[Affiliate ID does not save](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/affiliate-id-does-not-save/)󠁿

I enter the affiliate ID and save the options on the Setup page, and it does not
save. Consequently all Amazon links lack my affiliate ID. Update—apparently the 
text field in the main options is separate from the Affiliates page. It is confusing
to have the main setup page with text fields for the Affiliate IDs that are nonfunctional.
Is there any way to create a template that uses the Medium size image? Coming from
Amazon Link Builder there is a variable on there for it, but I’m not sure how to
reference it here since you use IMAGE and THUMB as source while they use SMALL, 
MEDIUM, and LARGE. The hover tips on Template Help do not work on Safari. I haven’t
tried it on other browsers yet to see if it works at all. JavaScript is enabled 
and no ad blocking software is installed. This plugin is clearly powerful but very
difficult to use and the UX is confusing.
