Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Amazon Reloaded for WordPress version 5.0.8 as active, updated 14y ago and tested up to WordPress 3.1.

Overview

About this plugin

Please note: PHP5 is required for this plugin due to the use of json_encode, the DOMDocument class, and the plugin code syntax.

This plugin makes it easy for post authors to quickly search Amazon’s index from their WordPress post interface and grab

text links or images to place in their posts. The text links can optionally contain an indivdual’s affiliate tag, if entered

on the settings screen.

The blog administrator can choose which Amazon locale that they wish to use from a list of the following:

  • United States
  • United Kingdom
  • Canada
  • France
  • Germany
  • Japan

The new version introduces support for Amazon’s new request signing requirements. In addition, a credential checking system

has been put in place and the remote connection API used should work across more blogs and hosting setups.

How To

The Amazon Reloaded for WordPress plugin is amazingly simple to use

  • Start writing a post or page and when you need to insert something, scroll down to the Amazon Reloaded meta box
