    Hi there; thanks in advance. The site is [collectivebuyselltrade.com]. The Affiliates link in the menu will take you to the affiliate portal.

    Wordpress 5.9.1 and Version 6.3.7 of the plugin.

    I’ve created a variety of ad creatives for the program, and if I copy and paste the code into any site on the same server as the affiliate website, the ads appear, and commission sales work fine.

    I’ve tested the ads on other servers outside of my own, and nothing appears at all, be they WordPress sites or custom HTML-coded sites. Here’s a page from my site on the same server where the ads appear: [in-arcadia.ca/portfolio/test]

    Here’s a [camillefrantz.me/.aloeroot/] page from an off-server site where they don’t work.

    Here’s the code generated for the leaderboard ad you can see on the above page:

    <a href="https://collectivebuyselltrade.com?ap_id=aloeroot" target="_blank" ><img alt="Collective Buy Sell Trade: Your Community Classified Site" border="0" data-src="https://collectivebuyselltrade.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/728_90_Leaderboard.gif" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img alt="Collective Buy Sell Trade: Your Community Classified Site" border="0" data-src="https://collectivebuyselltrade.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/728_90_Leaderboard.gif" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img src="https://collectivebuyselltrade.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/728_90_Leaderboard.gif" alt="Collective Buy Sell Trade: Your Community Classified Site" border="0" /></noscript></noscript></a>

    Like I said, outside of my own server the ads just don’t seem to show up at all.

    Thanks for any suggestions you can make!

    Solved this – the Smush plugin’s lazyload feature was overwriting the affiliate link code with code that base64-encoded the images for some reason. Disabled lazyload and now the code no longer contains the extra instructions.
