While editing a Hub today I noticed that some of my Amazon descriptions were wrong. They were very old, and sometimes didn't even match the product. This seems to be a bug introduced by Squidoo when they merged Amazon Spotlight (single product) with the regular Amazon module (multiple products). The descriptions from back then were saved in the module, invisible to the users, and now (in some rare cases?) imported and displayed on HubPages.
If your pages were affected, you can still find the newer description in the XML export and fix it without having to rewrite everything from scratch. When you open the XML file, you will see that each bugged module has several descriptions, like "single_desc" and "desc_B007VF2OOC", so just grab the one you need.
That, is good to know. I think I put all new items in my Amazon capsules, but now - I am going to go check!

Not sure if anyone can help with this, or is having this problem, but I can not get any of my Amazon modules to work on the pages brought over from Squidoo. I add the link, or the code, and no product will come up. Is there a trick to this??

I just received an email notification that products were removed from one of my hubs because I "must provide relevant experience." One of the products that was removed is one I have used for a long time and mentioned my experience in the hub. Do we have to go into great detail about our...

How many Amazon capsules are allowed per how many words? I don't care personally, I never made much on Amazon. But on a few of the lenses that came over, they are almost all Amazon capsules, with maybe 200 words. I tried to tell one person in a nice way that it was an interesting topic, but that...
