Hey everyone. There’s a bit of sad news here. Due to some big sites linking to one of our scripts, the Carousel for Zazzle Store, our host has killed the script. It was killing their server.

So, what I’m trying to do is get in touch with those sites and work something out for them to host their own version of the script, then I’ll likely change these back to revshare so that I can have enough to move up to a dedicated server if this kind of thing becomes prominent. I am not a fan of having multiple scripts out there to update on different server flavors and versions, etc. so I’d rather have it all hosted here where I can make the fix on the environment I know.

So, if you’re using the wishads for zazzle store, check your site. You’re likely seeing our 404 page in your iframe.

Help us by doing the following:

• Remove that iframe.
• Follow our twitter page for updates so you know when we’re back up and when we have issues like this in the future. It’s been down for a couple of days now and not that many people have noticed it on their sites. With twitter, we get that message out fast.

Thanks for your patience, and our apologies for this.

Recently, something changed. And not for the better. Links have been disappearing!

The culprit has been tracked down and it is a simple fix for both of the zazzle plugins. While I’m working on going through the rezip process, etc. you can actually fix it yourself.

First, backup your “wishads_zazzle” or “wishads_zazzlestore” plugin directory. That means just right-click the directory name in your folders list and click “copy”, then go somewhere else, like your desktop and right-click and choose “paste”. Now in case you have a problem, you have a backup of the current non-working plugin. Makes sense right?!

Now, if you’re using the store plugin (directory is “wishads_zazzlestore”) then do the following:
1) Open the “wishads_zazzlestore.php” file in a text editor like notepad. Do a “find” for the text “guid”. There should only be one occurence, around line 296. It will look something like this:
item[$i]->guid[0]->tagData
2) Replace “guid” with the word “link”. The new line should look like this:
item[$i]->link[0]->tagData
3) Save that and upload it over your existing file on your server. This is usually found under “wp-content/plugins/wishads_zazzlestore/”
4) Go to the “wp-content/plugins/wishads_zazzlestore/cache” folder and delete all of the files in the cache. This will fix any current posts.

That should do it!

If you are using the “Zazzle Search” plugin “wp-content/plugins/wishads_zazzle/” do the following:
1) Open the “wishads_zazzle.php” file in a text editor like notepad. Do a “find” for the text “guid”. There should only be one occurence, around line 271. It will look something like this:
item[$i]->guid[0]->tagData
2) Replace “guid” with the word “link”. The new line should look like this:
item[$i]->link[0]->tagData
3) Save that and upload it over your existing file on your server. This is usually found under “wp-content/plugins/wishads_zazzle/”
4) Go to the “wp-content/plugins/wishads_zazzle/cache” folder and delete all of the files in the cache.

Done! Reload any pages that use the plugin and you should be good to go.

New plugin downloads coming soon!

Please keep in mind that donations are what keep people like me interested in providing ongoing support for scripts like this. Feel free to do so.
