Apraksts

wBuild Affiliate Links Sidebar makes it easy to showcase the affiliate products you already mention in your content — without manual copy-pasting.

Unlike other affiliate plugins that require manual imports or API keys, this plugin automatically detects links you’ve already added to your content and displays them, no extra work needed.

The plugin scans the current post/page content for affiliate links (starting with your chosen prefix, e.g. https://amzn.to/) and automatically displays them in:

– A beautiful sidebar widget (Appearance Widgets)
– Or an inline shortcode block [wbuild-affiliate-links]

Perfect for Amazon Associates, bloggers, reviewers, and content creators who want to highlight recommended products without extra work.

Free version features
– Single affiliate prefix (e.g. Amazon amzn.to)
– Up to 5 links displayed per page/post (configurable from 1–5)
– Customizable title, disclosure text, link behavior (new tab, sponsored, noopener, etc.)
– Clean, modern design with hover effects
– Mobile/desktop visibility control for shortcode
– Custom CSS options for widget and shortcode

Pro version adds
– Unlimited links per page
– Multiple affiliate programs/prefixes at once (Amazon, ShareASale, etc.)
– No display limit (or custom max)
– More link behavior options
– View Pro details

Great for product roundups, reviews, buying guides, comparison posts — anywhere you already link to affiliate products.
This is the free version of wBuild Affiliate Links Sidebar.

What affiliate programs are supported?: Any program that uses a consistent URL prefix (e.g. https://amzn.to/, https://rstyle.me/, etc.). The free version supports one prefix; Pro supports multiple at the same time.
How does it find the links?: It scans the current post/page content for any hyperlinks that begin with your prefix. It then shows the link text (or URL fallback) in a clean list.
Can I use it without a sidebar?: Yes — use the shortcode [wbuild-affiliate-links] anywhere: in the content, in a block, in a footer, etc.
Is there a limit on links?: Free version: maximum 5 links per page/post (configurable 1–5).
Pro version: unlimited or custom max.
Does it work with block themes / Full Site Editing?: Yes — the widget works in classic sidebars and the shortcode works everywhere.
Can I style it differently?: Yes — use the Custom CSS fields in settings, or override the classes .affiliate-links-widget and .affiliate-links-shortcode in your theme.
