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!
