    Hi Paul

    I must thank you so much for your efforts but unfortunately something has gone wrong now!! Its obviously something I have done and I give up now after going round in circles trying to work out the issue. I just get an empty text widget now.

    I’ll use the Amazon widget as is, and use your templates in the posts once I get some traffic generated. I only have three Associate IDs setup so I hope you can profit from the others eventually as payment for your patience and hard work.

    Thanks again, Alan.

    Aha that works perfectly thank you Paul.

    Only downside is, as you suspected, it shows UK results from other countries 🙁

    Do any of your templates work in a similar way? ie: show results by keyword but globally?

    Otherwise I could try a UK and US widget (i’m signed up to US & Canada too) and see how that works. Its a brand new site with no traffic so not sure where traffic is going to come from yet.

    Hi Paul

    Many thanks for your prompt response and for the idiots guide to shortcodes and scripts!!

    I have the widget showing up but rather than the search field showing my keyword it just show a - which can be deleted and then the keyword entered manually. I can’t see any rogue hyphen anywhere in the script, but i’m no expert obviously. Heres the exact code i’ve used (I changed that link id to the original but made no difference):

    [amazon template=search widget&text=bipolar]

    <script charset="utf-8" type="text/javascript">
amzn_assoc_ad_type = "responsive_search_widget";
amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "%TAG%";
amzn_assoc_link_id = "R5RI6ZMI4XQR3OEV";
amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon";
amzn_assoc_region = "%MPLACE%";
amzn_assoc_placement = "";
amzn_assoc_search_type = "search_widget";
amzn_assoc_width = "auto";
amzn_assoc_height = "auto";
amzn_assoc_default_search_category = "";
amzn_assoc_default_search_key = "%TEXT1%";
amzn_assoc_theme = "light";
amzn_assoc_bg_color = "FFFFFF";
</script>
<script src="//z-%REGION%.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&Operation=GetScript&ID=OneJS&WS=1&MarketPlace=%MPLACE%">
</script>

    The affected website is at http://latestbipolarnews.info The top advert is the Amazon one with yours underneath.

    Thanks again.

    Alan.
