Adding Amazon code to WordPress is quite simple, when you add a product link from Amazon there are 3 choices
- Text only, just copy the code, then go back to your worpress blog, click the “HTML” tab at the top right of the Post window, and paste, that’s it.
- Image and text….same as above!
- Image only…..boooooo…why won’t this work?
Here is the solution
- Right click the image, save it to your computer, i recommend having a folder for each of your blogs, and having a sub folder named, images
- Ok, now on the top of your wordpress window, right next to “Upload/Insert” click the box for inserting images, then choose to browse from your computer, and insert the image.
- Before you exit that screen you will notice a box that says, image link,
- You now need to paste a very particular piece of code there, go back to your amazon screen, and click on the product you are using, go to it’s “landing page”, (the place you are taking when you click on it), on the top left, you will see a small stripe that says, “link to this page”, get the code for text and image, and copy just the part that contain the address, from “HTTP, until the 2nd quotation mark, here is an example.
it may look something like this, do not include the quotation marks!
Trouble shooting,
sometimes you need to go back into the post, single click the image, then go up top to the “insert link button, and re-paste this piece of code. Not sure why, might be a glitch, but once you get it working once, it will always work.
