Thanks for the quick heads-up. Definitely aware of the possibility of caching issue getting in the way. To be sure, I only discovered the issue yesterday, but have since then tried changing the browser, purging the cache from plugins and Cloudflare. Also tried the elimination method by disabling the theme and plugins one by one. The link redirection seems unaffected though (and this even when BestAzom is disabled).
Actually, I’ve made some progress along the way, and here’s the backstory: I usually edit a page through Thrive Visual Editor, and I would link a book to its untagged Amazon US product page. With the page saved this way, when BestAzon is off the book will link to the original untagged Amazon page, and when BestAzon is on it would be redirected to Amazon’s tagged page (depending on the BestAzon setting being used). I actually just tested it and it shows that BestAzon is functionally properly.
Interestingly, I just discovered that the reason why the links on the book page became uncorrectable was because I edited the page in Thrive Visual Editor while BestAzon was activated, so that when the page is saved, all the books are now officially linked to something starting with http://lnks.io (i.e., the redirection is now hard-baked into the page itself). Once that happens, it seems that no amount of honoring existing tag or deactivable BestAzon would recover the link back to its original state.
So I guess the lesson here is to always deactivate BestAzon before editing any page with Amazon links. Yeah, sounds like a chore I know, but is well worth the effort especially for folks with hundreds of Amazon links on their site.
Thanks for the help!

Cool. Thanks for the explanation and the efforts put into the development!
Actually, recently we had to change to new affiliate IDs, and no matter what we do in BestAzon setup the link redirection just keep redirecting to the old affiliate IDs. That was finally resolved by redoing all the links so that they are clean. Maybe Amazon changed something on their end too, but that is just something worth considering if you recently change your affiliate IDs and are having redirection issues.

Oops. For some reason there is no notification sent about your replies. Thanks for the quick response by the way. Yeah, the issue seems to have completely disappeared. Perhaps it was due to a caching problem with the browser. It’s gone by now. Cheers and thanks a bunch!

In reply to: [Shortcodes by Angie Makes] Tabs and Accordions no longer work in WPAll right. After more research, figured out that it’s jQuery incompatibility with the theme version we’re using. Updated the theme and now everything is fine. Kudos guys. 🙂

In reply to: [Shortcodes by Angie Makes] Tabs and Accordions no longer work in WPJust an update. Still haven’t manage to solve it yet. But just want to say that the tabs and accordions do work in the backend when we preview the posts — just not when we log out of the dashboard though.
Also, dig into the HTML code a bit, and identified that the reason why tab/accordion links are taken to the top of the page, is because tab/accordion content isn’t loaded in the first place — Hence the empty links.
