 * Update: I just completed the first version of my plugin [Organize Drafts](https://wordpress.org/plugins/lsw-organize-drafts/).
   It allows sorting drafts into “draft types,” which I think of as folders. If 
   you (or anyone else) tries it out, let me know what you think. If there’s interest,
   I may add more features.

 * I’d like to follow up to this post to point out that because of concerns over
   possibly breaking Amazon TOS, I removed the feature to check Amazon Short Link
   URLs.
 * Now, the only way that this plugin interacts with Amazon is through the official
   Amazon Product Advertising API. Unlike a traditional link checker, none of your
   Amazon links are ever followed. Rather, this plugin extracts the ASIN from your
   links and then uses Amazon’s API to request the product’s status.
 * I hope this clarification helps! Please let me know if you have any more questions.

 * I found your posts while searching for a solution for the same issue. I have 
   lots of drafts and I want to organize them! I’m thinking about writing a plugin
   for it. I’ll update this thread if I get the plugin completed 🙂

 * Hi,
 * I’ve dealt with this kind of error in my own programming, and usually the solution
   is to go to the line that is causing the error and put a conditional statement
   around it that checks to make sure the variable is greater than 0 before doing
   a calculation.
 * If you’d like me to look into fixing it, please see my profile.
 * Hope this helps,

 * I think you’re going to have to DROP TABLE, and then CREATE TABLE. Maybe this
   link will help:

 * How about using the function wp_get_post_categories and then checking the returned
   category IDs to see if they are child categories?
 * It seems that might work. Here is a quick link to the function reference:

 * Good question!
 * The short answer is yes, affiliate IDs are stripped when they are displayed to
   you in the table and also in the email notifications. That way you can click 
   on the links without worrying about breaking the TOS.
 * The only possible issue could be if you are using the Amazon Short Link URLs (
   for example: [http://amzn.to/1NAaArE](http://amzn.to/1NAaArE)) because the plugin
   has to follow those links to find what product that they are directed to. The
   plugin may erroneously effect the statistics that Amazon displays about the number
   of clicks but the programmatic way it checks these links wouldn’t cause you to
   accidentally buy things on your own affiliate account.
 * If you don’t use the Short Links, then this plugin won’t effect the statistics
   shown about clicks because it uses the Amazon Product Advertising API to look
   up the stock status. It’s using this API in accordance with Amazon’s guidelines.
 * I hope this helps, and please ask if you have any more questions. I will try 
   to reply sooner next time.
 * Thanks!

 * Thanks for taking the time to review my plugin! I’m glad that you will find it
   useful! I will think about how to implement your suggestion. I may also add a
   settings page and button(s) to make use easier.

 * I just wanted to update my post to clarify that this plugin will work with Amazon
   links that have the ASIN as part of the URL. It’s come to my attention that there
   are alternative ways of linking to Amazon, like with a shortened URL, that my
   plugin doesn’t (yet) work with.
 * I’ve also made a few improvements, like this plugin now works with Multisite 
   WordPress.
 * I still have plans for further improvements and would love to have your feedback
   if you give my plugin a try.
 * Thanks!

 * I looked at your site again and to move the content over to the right, you could
   add something like this:
 * div#container {
    padding-left: 20px; }
 * That code would be added to your theme’s stylesheet, by logging into WordPress
   Admin, and going to Appearance -> Editor and adding that to the bottom of the
   stylesheet. You can play around to set the padding to the number of pixels you
   think looks best.
 * Hope that helps!

 * The answer to your first question is to change a setting in WordPress about which
   page should be your front page. Here’s the instructions:
 * [https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page](https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page)
 * Your second problem might be fixed with some CSS, or editing your theme. I just
   woke up and haven’t had my first cup of coffee yet, so I think I better leave
   someone else to answer that in more detail.

 * [@otto](https://wordpress.org/support/users/otto/) Thanks for your reply. It’s
   working now. I had to “Relaunch” it. Sorry, I didn’t realize that was different
   from restarting.

 * Thanks for the info! It helps to know the cause. However, I made the changes 
   you suggested and restarted Chrome browser and still have the same problem. I
   am running the latest version of Chrome, Version 45.0.2454.85 m, on Windows 7
   64-bit. Any other ideas? Aside from using Firefox? 🙂
