    Hi all,

    I’ve just signed up for my affiliates accounts and installed the Amazon Associates Link Builder plugin. I’ve followed all the set up steps and now am trying to use the search function on a blog post to create a link, and the error message I receive is: HTTP Request failed! A valid URL was not provided.

    I’ve tried using an author name, a book name, and ASIN, and even a direct link to the book, but the error message comes up every time. I’ve search the FAQ and forum for this and haven’t found anything.

    Any help I can get with this would be appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Kerry
