    Hi, first of all, thanks for your work with this plugin!

    I have been using it in several sites with no problems, until yesterday. I have created a new blog post and Im using Visual Link Preview with Amazon Associate / Affiliate links. Perfect results, the plugin shows up every Amazon link with no problem. After several tens of links, Visual Link Preview no longer works when I try to add new Amazon Links. No changes on backend. Actually Visual Link Preview stopped working with every link I try, from any source in every existing o new post or page.

    I have tried disabling wordpress cache and minify, deleted browse cache… still not working. Every time I open the Visual Link Preview window on WordPress editor I paste the link but no preview at all, even after waiting for 1 or 2 minutes.

    Any idea or help, please?
    Regards.

    Hi there,

    We make use of the MicroLink API to be able to automatically retrieve those details. By default you’re on their free plan which is limited to a certain number of requests per day. So it’s possible you’ve hit that limit, but after waiting 24 hours it should be working again.

    Take note that you always have the option to manually set the image, title and summary as well.

    Kind regards,
    Brecht

    Thanks Brecht. That was the point. Solved after waiting.

    Best regards!

    You could put up an error message saying the limit (50 requests for free) has been reached.
