  I have been having this issue for a while. And I just can’t figure it out. I keep trying to add an Amazon affiliate link to my posts using the Custom HTML code block. But when I insert the code and then go to preview it, it’s blank. What could possibly be causing this to happen? I’m trying to add a product image from Amazon.

  I am not a coder, so this is all new to me. But based on all the tutorials I’ve viewed, adding code using this block should be simple and straightforward.

  Please help and reply asap.

  Hi there, it’s possible that the type of affiliate code you’re trying to use is not allowed on free sites here: https://wordpress.com/support/code/#flash-and-other-embeds

  If so, you’d need to upgrade to a paid Pro plan.

  To use Amazon affiliate links here on sites with the free plan, please follow the steps at https://wordpress.com/support/adding-amazon-com-affiliate-links-to-your-wordpress-com-site/
