Posted January 3, 20223 yr This is the support topic for the plugin Remove Link Tracking. Edited January 3, 20223 yr by Runar
January 3, 20223 yr @Runar Does it cover Amazon.com affiliate links? Because one problem we have here is users "recommending" products, but the links actually have afilliate tracking info. Edited January 3, 20223 yr by Gabriel Torres

Because one problem we have here is users "recommending" products, but the links actually have afilliate tracking info. I’m finding several tags related to Amazon, but I’m not sure which applies to affiliate links. Would you be able to show me an example of the affiliate links used by your members? Edit: I’ve identified two Amazon’s affiliate parameters (ascsubtag and tag) and will add them to the next release. An example from your forum would still be helpful, though.

January 4, 20223 yr @Runar I will provide you with several examples from Amazon and other online stores that are popular here in our forums. I will get back to you with those. I just need to find real examples here... hehehe
January 4, 20223 yr @Runar See below several examples of what could be cleaned out. Amazon https://www.amazon.com.br/Placa-Vídeo-AFOX-Radeon-RX560D/dp/B099X6JXVS/ref=asc_df_B099X6JXVS/?tag=googleshopp00-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=379726213405&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2077078744594458364&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9101337&hvtargid=pla-1395670392199&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com.br/Cooler-Gamer-Intel-LGA1156-Deepcool/dp/B00X9LBO6Q/ref=pd_sbs_2/141-4175838-4920651?pd_rd_w=lDoas&pf_rd_p=fd372a8b-e6ae-4397-bd2a-6918070dc11e&pf_rd_r=PS7R5TZY09KW1MRS05EH&pd_rd_r=0c4ee111-ec81-45de-bac5-348c313c96ae&pd_rd_wg=MoG8I&pd_rd_i=B00X9LBO6Q&psc=1 These two examples are from amazon.com.br, but amazon.com, amazon.co.uk etc use the same format. Everything after the ASIN code can be removed. The stripped-down version of the same links would be: https://www.amazon.com.br/Placa-Vídeo-AFOX-Radeon-RX560D/dp/B099X6JXVS/ https://www.amazon.com.br/Cooler-Gamer-Intel-LGA1156-Deepcool/dp/B00X9LBO6Q/ Aliexpress https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/1005003127978969.html?spm=a2g0o.9042311.0.0.39dcb90a8ouyUv https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/1005002307427655.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.271e38b0Dwvegf&algo_pvid=83fd4b4b-0dad-40e2-9bd6-7e174d90e786&algo_exp_id=83fd4b4b-0dad-40e2-9bd6-7e174d90e786-1&pdp_ext_f={"sku_id"%3A"12000020010865917"}&pdp_pi=-1%3B600.06%3B-1%3B-1%40salePrice%3BBRL%3Bsearch-mainSearch The first example was stripped-down correctly by the plugin, but not the second one. Everything after the .html can be removed. Also note that here the example if for the Portuguese version of Aliexpress, but it applies to any version of this website.

If the URLs above are posted in your forum exactly like they are here, then I need to do some extra magic behind the scenes to make the plugin read them correctly.
January 5, 20223 yr @Runar I copied these directly from the database. I don't know whether they were posted like this or it was IPS that converted & into & before saving.

January 5, 20223 yr @Runar Your plugin is causing an issue here. You must remove it from the marketplace.
January 5, 20223 yr Author Thank you for the report! I’ve identified the issue and a new version containing a fix will be submitted shortly. I apologize for the inconvenience and hope you haven’t lost faith in the plugin. Edit: I’ve set the price to $1,000 to prevent anyone from installing it until the fix is released. Edited January 5, 20223 yr by Runar
January 7, 20223 yr Author An update with new tracking parameters and a fix for the issue mentioned above, is now submitted and awaiting release.
January 7, 20223 yr Author What’s new in version 1.1.0: Version 1.1.0 is now available on the Marketplace. This version contains new tracking parameters and fixes a bug reported earlier in this topic. Another new feature is that tracking parameters in other parts of the URL, such as somewhere in the path or in fragments (that’s the text after the #), will also be removed. New features Tracking parameters in the URL path and fragments (after the #) will now be removed. Improvements Added new tracking parameters. Fixes Fixed issue with links not made up of text, such as images or other attachments, being wrongfully processed.
March 9, 20222 yr Hi, one of my member post this link and its looks like the adds tracking etc stayed? I reproduce the link as so thought that maybe plugging got kind of group restriction… please check the img
