Fix WP-Amazon in WordPress 2.5

I upgraded WordPress to 2.5.1 recently. Suddenly my WP-Amazon plugin is broken! That is the thing I use to put Amazon links in my posts, and therefore like 90% of my pictures (mainly because I don’t have to host the pictures… kinda lazy huh). What happens is the little Amazon button doesn’t even show up in my Manage tab.

So I did some newsgroup spelunking and found how to fix it.

Let’s say your WordPress is at $WP-HOME

1. go to
   http://www.gnifty.net/code/wp-amazon/
2. copy everything there
3. copy the wp-amazon.php to replace the one you have in
   $WP-HOME/wp-content/plugins/wp-amazon/
4. make a directory “js” in that same directory
5. copy files into that directory :
   • jquery.accordion.pack.js
   • jquery.dimensions.pack.js

   into $WP-HOME/wp-content/plugins/wp-amazon/js

6. make another directory in that one $WP-HOME/wp-content/plugins/wp-amazon/js/jquery
7. copy the “jquery.js” file from $WP-HOME/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js into
   $WP-HOME/wp-content/plugins/wp-amazon/js/jquery
8. ?
9. profit!
