How to I integrate Astore into a wordpress site?

Hi all
I'm trying to install my Astore on a page on my blog but it's not showing up properly. I've removed the 'get sidebars' link but when I post the Astore code to the page half of it doesn't show up. Although the sidebars aren't there the store is cut of where they should be. I tried finding a theme that just had a header and one main column and set that up as a template for the page but it was even worse.

I'm wondering if there's something in the main style sheet I should be looking at but worried if I make any changes on this it'll change the whole site.

Basically I just need the header and footer and main colours to show then a blank space for the Astore to go.

Can anyone help please?

Thanks

 

Hi again

Well I'm a little further than I was but I'm still struggling to get it under control.

I'd be hugely greateful if you can take a look - click on my link and go to the Amazon link at the top. Ignore the colours for the actual shop and any products - I'm just trying to get it to sit properly on the page!

Anyone know why the white background isn't aligned anymore?

The only code I put on that page was

<?php
/*
Template Name: Amazon aStore
*/
?>
<?php get_header();?>

<iframe src="http://astore.amazon.com/MYAFFILLIATE" width="90%" height="4000" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

with 'my affiliate' obviously filled in correctly

 

This place is like magic - I ask a question and within about 20 minutes I suddenly find the answer even though I was completely stuck before! I've sorted it now - yippeeee

 

I just went to your link and was like I guess he fixed it... so how did you? care to share?

 

Hi
Ok here's how I fixed it
I created a php Page template
with just the following

<?php
/*
Template Name: Amazon aStore
*/
?>
<?php get_header();?>
<p align="center">

<iframe src="http://astore.amazon.com/MYASSOCIATEID" width="90%" height="4000" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

I found a website (can't remember which now!) that said just make a template with your Amazon Astore link. That's fine but I wanted the header and background colours so adding in the Header and footer did the trick (and of course the centre code).

For anyone else who wants to know the entire process is

Create a php page (you can do that in Dreamwever for example and save as .php. Or I think you can do it on notepad too.
Make sure you have the template code at the top so that wordpress recognises it as a template.
Name the php file as Astore or whatever you want
Upload the php file
Go to wordpress, admin, write, page and select the template from the drop down list on the right.
In the post box all you need to write is the title of the page - nothing else as everything is already contained in the file.
Click publish - you're done

 

Im trying to do this for one of my sites right now and I dont have the option for a drop down list to the right when i am making a new page in wordpress. Is there something im missing??

++Scratch that i figured it out, thanks for the Info LilyUK!!

 

You're welcome - hope it's all working for you now.

 

Thanks for share this

I know the method to input astore in blogger, but this time I know how to put it place in wordpress..

Thank you very much

 

Can I do this for the blog like this Myblogname.wordpress.com? I haven't seen where I can modify the template

 

you can do it if you host your own wp blog.

 

free blog can not
free host can
Thank for sharing

 

you should use wordpress.org and own hosting to show ur ads and stuff

 

Do you think I would need to build link again if I move from myblog.wordpress.com to www.myblogdomainname.com like this? Now my blog in wordpress index and rank very fast. Just curious if we move to own domain name.

 

hey i found this in wordpress:

"Advertising

To support the service we may occasionally show Google text ads on your blog, however we do this very rarely. In the future you’ll be able to purchase an upgrade to either turn the ads off or show your own ads and make money from your blog. "

http://wordpress.com/features/

so i guess you can show google ads in your current blog?? not sure you gotta check out and play with blog page

 

becafully, free wordpress & blogger don't put prices in your blog due to they ban your blog.

 

Really i was not aware of it.

 

Any black hat tactics will ban you whether your blog is free hosted or own hosted.

 

Thanks a lot LilyUK,

I tried so many things and now i have no idea what i did wrong but copy pasting your code into WP worked perfect, thanks!! rep given

 

hi, can you please tell me where where we upload the .php file to and where do we paste the code?

a little more detail please

thanks

 

I think free blog will ban you if you put astore on it.
