I’ve had a lot of success with WP-Amazon Reloaded so far. People have been happy with the results of my development efforts thus far. As such, I am happy to announce that I finally received WordPress.org repository access today to host the plugin.
Unfortunately, WP-Amazon Reloaded was no longer available as a name for a plugin on the official WordPress.org plugins repository so I went ahead and renamed the plugin. From now on, WP-Amazon Reloaded is Amazon Reloaded for WordPress. You can view the official repository and download the latest version there.
If you have any feature requests, please don’t hesitate to ask.

My WP-Amazon Reloaded plugin has been updated and I’ve made a few key feature changes and additions.
UPDATE: I now have official hosting for Amazon Reloaded for WordPress
Changes in the latest version include:
- Support for different Amazon locales
- Faster code
- Fixed the FOLLOWLOCATION cURL bug for those on secured PHP installations
I hope you’ll enjoy the plugin. If you are so inclined, donations are always appreciated. If you’re looking for custom plugin development after seeing this plugin, please visit Plugin-Developer.com

I’ve recently updated my WP-Amazon Reloaded plugin to provide some more functionality. This is pretty much a necessary download at this point since I’ve changed the way transformations happen at the request level. I still have not received a response from anyone regarding official hosting for WP-Amazon Reloaded at wordpress.org/extend/plugins, but you can download the package here.
To install, simply extract the folder to your /wp-content/plugins directory. If you’re upgrading, there is no need to deactivate. Just copy the current files over the old ones and do a hard refresh (Ctrl + F5) on your write page to make sure the new JavaScript and CSS are loaded.

It is with great pleasure that I announce my latest plugin. I recently realized that I had a need to quickly place Amazon affiliate links into posts within WordPress. I saw that a plugin already existed to allow this. However, that plugin wasn’t compatible with WordPress 2.5, so I went ahead and wrote a new plugin that was. I call it WP-Amazon Reloaded.
The basic features are as follows:
- Dynamically search for Amazon items from the Write Post and Write Page interface
- Easily insert the detail page links for said items into the post or page you are writing
- Enter your affiliate id to have your links auto tagged for affiliate purposes
I recorded a screencast that shows off the major features. You can view it here.

I wrote this small plugin after someone on the support forums asked for it. It restores the exact time to the management interface of posts and pages rather than just the date. Official WordPress.org Page
