how to add amazon link

You’re right, there are too many books. I did the first page of them, but it’s crazy to bill you for all of them.

Here’s instructions.

Each post has to be handled separately to get them to format properly. If you click on one of the books from the second page of books, you’ll see that our old theme doesn’t like the new Amazon formatting. No problem, we can do it with a short code, which has been nicely modified by the developer, for which i am paying him a tiny fee.

1. Open the post page of the book. I do it from the site — once you’ll logged to edit, you can look at the site and click on “edit post” at the very top of the window.

You can also go to the All Posts page and then filter by “Books.”

2.In the content area of the post, before your text, paste this code:

You’ll now replace the XXXXXXXXXX.

3. Scroll down to the bottom of the post and grab the ASIN number

If you don’t see it you may need to change your screen options by going up here and clicking on screen options…

… then click the plugin to make it appear on your edit screen.

4. Now that you have copied the ASIN number, go back to the top of the content and paste it into our code between the ”  ” where the XXXXXXXX were.

5. Finally, you need to unclick the box that says “if checked the product will be live” in the plug in section. Seems weird to do that, but we are turning on the plug in with the shortcode we pasted in above.

6. Now test the post by clicking on the View Post button. If ok, then move on to the next. If along the way you find any extra code left from an earlier attempt to do this, just erase it.
