AZLINKPRO · INSTALLATION TUTORIAL

Set up AzlinkPRO. Start publishing.

Install your WordPress plugins, create reusable product content, and add comparison tables, Showcases, and Pros & Cons cards to any review using simple shortcodes.

STEP 01 · GET STARTED

Installing AzlinkPRO takes just a few steps.

The standalone versions of Tables, Showcase, and Pros & Cons can be installed individually. The combined-suite test build is a separate installation intended for testing.

01

Upload the ZIP

In WordPress admin, go to Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin, then choose your AzlinkPRO installation ZIP.

02

Install and activate

Click Install Now, then Activate Plugin. WordPress will add the corresponding AzlinkPRO editing menus.

03

Open the editor

Choose Tables, Showcase, or Pros & Cons from the WordPress sidebar to create your first reusable item.

Important: Do not activate the combined AzlinkPRO test build alongside the standalone plugins. Before testing a migration or major update, back up your website and use a staging environment.
STEP 02 · MAKE YOUR FIRST MODULE

Choose the content that fits your review.

The three modules work together but each can be used on its own. Give your item a descriptive title, review its product information, and publish it before embedding its shortcode.

Tables

Compare multiple products side by side. Review product names, highlights, images, affiliate destinations, and any featured labels.

Showcase

Present one product with a focused set of details, a visual highlight, and a clear call to action.

Pros & Cons

Create a balanced summary of strengths, limitations, and a concise editorial verdict.

Before you publish a module

  • Confirm the product name and ASIN when using Amazon product lookup.
  • Check imported images, specifications, descriptions, and affiliate links before publishing.
  • Use accurate editorial labels instead of inventing prices, customer reviews, or testing results.
  • Save or publish the AzlinkPRO entry and note its shortcode ID.
STEP 03 · COPY THE SHORTCODE

Publish once. Reuse wherever you need it.

Each saved item has its own numerical WordPress ID. Copy the shortcode from the AzlinkPRO module editor, or use the examples below with your own saved ID.

AzlinkPRO Tables[azlinkpro_table id="123"]
AzlinkPRO Showcase[azlinkpro_showcase id="123"]
AzlinkPRO Pros & Cons[azlinkpro_pros_cons id="123"]
What does “123” mean? It’s just a sample WordPress entry ID. Replace it with the ID of your saved Table, Showcase, or Pros & Cons card. It is not the Amazon ASIN.

Reuse existing content

The same shortcode can be placed in multiple posts. Editing the saved AzlinkPRO item changes the module wherever the shortcode is used.

Keep each element separate

Your Table, Showcase, and Pros & Cons content each have their own ID and shortcode. Use the shortcode for the correct module.

STEP 04 · PLACE IT IN WORDPRESS

Turn a saved module into a finished review page.

You can add an AzlinkPRO shortcode to a new post or an existing buying guide without rebuilding the comparison each time.

Embedding in the Gutenberg block editor

  1. In WordPress, open Posts → Add New, or edit an existing article.
  2. Place the cursor where you want the module and click the + block inserter.
  3. Search for the Shortcode block and add it.
  4. Paste your AzlinkPRO shortcode, including the correct numeric ID.
  5. Preview the page on desktop and mobile, then publish when it looks right.
EXAMPLE PAGE ORDER

Lead with the comparison

Start with an informative introduction, followed by a table containing the five products you’re comparing.

Introduction → Table → Product reviews
KEEP READERS INFORMED

Go beyond the table

Add your own detailed product analysis, buying guidance, relevant FAQs, and an editorial conclusion.

Showcase → Pros & Cons → Buying advice
STEP 05 · PRODUCT DATA AND AFFILIATE LINKS

Review Amazon imports before publishing.

Where supported and properly configured, Tables and Showcase can retrieve eligible product information using the Amazon Creators API. Publishers remain responsible for accurate information and proper Amazon Associates compliance.

Check your settings

  • Use your own approved Amazon API credentials and Associates tracking tag.
  • Check the appropriate Amazon marketplace for your intended audience.
  • Check imported titles, images, ASINs, and product details.
  • If an image is unavailable, check your API access or use an image you are licensed to display.

Publish responsibly

  • Follow the Amazon Associates and relevant API program requirements.
  • Do not publish unverified pricing, ratings, availability, or product-test claims.
  • Keep required affiliate disclosures visible.
  • Never post API secrets or credentials in a public forum or support request.
Affiliate disclosure example: As an Amazon Associate, we may earn a small commission from qualifying purchases.
STEP 06 · FIX COMMON ISSUES

Something not appearing correctly?

A few quick checks solve many shortcode and import issues.

The shortcode isn’t displaying a product table or card.

Check that the appropriate AzlinkPRO plugin is active, the module entry is published, and its numeric ID matches the shortcode. If the page uses caching, clear the page cache and preview again.

WordPress displays the literal shortcode instead of the module.

Use the Gutenberg Shortcode block, not a code block or an escaped example. Confirm the plugin that registers that shortcode is active.

My imported product or image is missing.

Verify the marketplace, ASIN, API access, and imported result. Correct the entry using permitted information and republish the module.

Do I need the same shortcode on every review page?

You can reuse a saved module whenever the same content belongs on more than one page. For different products or comparisons, create a separate item with its own ID.

Will the plugin work on mobile?

AzlinkPRO module layouts are responsive. Preview your page at different widths, and check for conflicts with your theme’s styling if something wraps unexpectedly.
