 * Hi!
    I’m using this plugin to display a RSS affiliate link. In the affiliate 
   program I select the option to display bids and buy now, but the plugin only 
   display “buy now” products.
 * How can I fix it?
 * Thanks.

 * Hi!
 * Do you have an example shortcode you use? Also do you have the RSS feed you use
   too?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi Rhys!
 * This is the affiliate RSS link I’m using (customized it with a custom field)
   
   [http://rest.ebay.com/epn/v1/find/item.rss?keyword=&#8217](http://rest.ebay.com/epn/v1/find/item.rss?keyword=&#8217);.
   get_field(‘name’) . ‘&categoryId1=16486&sortOrder=EndTimeSoonest&programid=1&
   campaignid=5338234256&toolid=10039&listingType1=AuctionWithBIN&listingType2=Auction&
   descriptionSearch=true&feedType=rss&lgeo=1
 * And this is the final code I insert in my template.
    `<?php echo do_shortcode('[
   ebayfeedsforwordpress feed="http://rest.ebay.com/epn/v1/find/item.rss?keyword
   =' . get_field('name') . '&categoryId1=16486&sortOrder=EndTimeSoonest&programid
   =1&campaignid=5338234256&toolid=10039&listingType1=AuctionWithBIN&listingType2
   =Auction&descriptionSearch=true&feedType=rss&lgeo=1" items="5"]');?>`
 * A temporal solution I found is to create 2 different RSS, one for bids (to display
   3 items for example) and another RSS for buy now products (another 3 items).
 * Thanks!

 * Hi There,
 * I can see the bid fine – [https://imgur.com/a/WKy6lcY](https://imgur.com/a/WKy6lcY)–
   could you test on an example with a default theme?
 * The $classstring notice will be fixed in the next version. Thanks for the bug
   report!

 * Hi Rhys, I think the problem is the theme, so I’ll continue using “the temporal”
   solution.
 * Is there any option to display a custom message if no products are founded?
 * Thx!

 * Yesterday I found another error with my cookie plugin, the message to accept 
   cookies was displayed again and again on mobile phones even if it was accepted.
   This error could be caused by the $classstring?

 * Hi There,
 * I’m not sure regarding the mobile phone. Are you sure there are no other cookie
   plugins? We don’t drop cookies beyond the ebay affiliate cookie.
 * Regarding no products, I’ll add it to the work list.
 * Thanks

 * It doesn’t matter, I replace the cookies plugin.
 * Since I have installed the plugin (2 weeks) I have noticed that the CPU of the
   server overloads when I edit pages, I think it’s due to the constant update of
   the feeds, but I am not sure. Have you thought to create some option to determine
   the interval of time with which the results are updated as they do other plugin
   of RSS, for example every 30 minutes, 1 hour, 1 day etc.
 * Thx!

 * Check the options on “Disable Feed Caching”. We use WordPress’ default feed caching
   system which automatically caches the feed.
