I Upgraded and the Description is Showing – it Wasn’t Before. Can I Make it NOT Show?

If you update from a version lower than 3.5.1, there are several new features that were added. One of the requested feature was adding the Amazon Description to the product. This is on by default for products that use the really old shortcode.

An additional feature was a NEW replacement shortcode that has many more features. If you switch your old shortcodes to the new shortcode, the display should look more like it did prior to the update (i.e., no description). The old shortcode was set up like so [AMAZONPRODUCT=XXXXXXXXXX]. This is not ideal for adding features so the replacement shortcode uses the WordPress Shortcode system to process the shortcode, making it much easier for us to add parameters (or features) to the products via the shortcode. The replacement shortcode should be used like so:

[AMAZONPRODUCTS asin="XXXXXXXXXX"]

if you decide you want the description in the new shortcode, you can turn it on by using:

[AMAZONPRODUCTS asin="XXXXXXXXXX" desc="1"]

You can also view the Shortcode Usage page for all the shortcodes and options available.
