Introducing…
The AAWP Gutenberg Block
With the AAWP Gutenberg block, you will find all the important possibilities that AAWP offers you in a comfortable interface. Gone are the days when you had to insert shortcodes in a cumbersome way. Now a few clicks are enough, and you will get your desired representation of the Amazon product quickly and easily.
All you have to do is open the selection of available blocks, search for AAWP in it and select the block.
Then the block opens with all the settings you know – and love – from AAWP!
Also, worth mentioning: You can now see a nice preview of the product or table in the WordPress editor!
All of this, together, should make it much easier and faster for you to add Amazon products to your website!

Amzn.to Shortened Links
From now on, you can set in the settings of AAWP (Settings –> General) whether Amazon product links should be shortened automatically. All you need is a token from Bitly. It really is that simple!
Shortened URLs are more readable and can be used better for advertising purposes.
But we don’t really need to explain the advantage of shortened URLs to you!
For more information, read our documentation article.
Duplicate comparison tables
The following is not rocket science – but insanely useful! In the new version of AAWP, you can now duplicate comparison tables with just one click. This saves a lot of time!
Replace Tracking ID for each page or post
Until now, you could only assign the tracking ID globally in the plugin settings or replace it on a shortcode basis. With the latest update, it is now possible for each individual post or page to store its own tracking ID.
The tracking ID stored globally in the settings will then be overwritten with this one. This allows you even more granular tracking!
Shortcode Button for WordPress Classic Editor
We also implemented a button for the classic editor, that allows you to select the shortcodes you want directly from a dropdown.
Fully translated into Spanish, French & Italian
This goes to our Spanish, French and Italian friends. You have beautiful languages.
We hope you like the improvements. And if you have any questions, please contact us! We are always here to help you.
