Adblock Plus Blocking Amazon Affiliate Links

Post by **gadietrich** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 4:35 pm

A lot of people use Pete Williams Amazon Affiliate Link Localizer plugin on WordPress (https://github.com/wp-plugins/amazon-af ... -localizer). I haven't had an issue with this in the past, but noticed today that Adblock Plus is striping the affiliate links out so that my affiliate ID no longer appears in the URL. To test this I turned Adblock Plus off on a page with some links, reloaded the page, and then they worked again.

I'm using Chrome 36.0.1985.125 and Adblock Plus 1.8.3.

Here is a page you can look at for testing: http://ne.gracecityphilly.com/people/greg-dietrich/

There are three links on that page that link to Amazon.

I moved the responsible filter from EasyList to EasyPrivacy: https://hg.adblockplus.org/easylist/rev/feb47dcc58eb

Excuse my ignorance on this, but does that mean it is fixed?

Yes, you can manually update EasyList now. It may take up to a week until users get this fix automatically.

Awesome! Thanks so much. I just did an update on it and see that it now works.
