demo not working i don’t know why page blank
Hello,
Thank you for contacting me.
Can you check the demo again, please? I just tested it now and on my part it worked without issues: http://143.198.112.144/midas-demo/
Let me know if it works now for you also.
Regards, Szabi – CodeRevolution.
The demo test site says “This plugin module requires an ‘Envato Authorization Token’ to function.”
Hello,
Yes, please create a new Envato token here: https://build.envato.com/create-token/
It must be added in plugin settings afterwards -> ‘Main Settings’ -> ‘Envato Authorization Token’

Hello Szabi,
it would be nice if you add a Black friday discount on this item ♥
Thank you
Hello,
Thank you for contacting me.
Unfortunately Envato is not allowing me to create a new discount for the Hand of Midas plugin, because they have a regulation that a new discount cannot be created before 30 days passed from the last discounting period.
This plugin was discounted back in the start of November, so it will be eligible for a new discount at the start of December.
Please get back to me during that period and I will be glad to make a “late Black Friday discount” for this period at the beginning of December.
Regards, Szabi – CodeRevolution.
Thank you ♥
Hello. I cannot check in the demo how it works with Woocommerce. Will it import as a product in Woocommerce?
Hello,
Thank you for contacting me.
Yes, the plugin is able to create WooCommerce products, please check this video for info on how to do this (video applicable also for Hand of Midas plugin): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YB6t4ZUw6Bw

Hi
I keep getting these notices from DMCA below:
DMCA Copyright Infringement Notification
As a result, I have stopped using the tool because there will come a time when Google and others will just ban my website from searches, so how do you fix this problem?
Regards
Hello,
Please send me an example notice you got, to my email kisded@yahoo.com, so I can check from where did these originate.
Also, you can get around these notices easily if you use a text spinner, which is available in the plugin. You can choose from SpinRewriter, The Best Spinner or WordAI.
These will make the imported content unique and not detectable as duplicate.
Regards, Szabi – CodeRevolution.
Hi Szabi
I have been checking more posts and found the same issues, one of the main issues is when the sellers posts demo links to their products or links to there support page and product pages that have links back to the Evanto Marketplace?
Alot of these types of links are hiding behind images posted in the product descriptions of their products, i have sent another example of this via your email to see what is it.
Thanks
Hello,
The links you highlighted in the video cannot be converted to affiliate links because they are not from Impact Radius / Envato – they are from outside Envato, pointing to the item author’s site, example: https://demoiump.wpindeed.com/ – to these links there is not way how to add affiliate tracking codes.
The only option is to remove all links of the imported content and leave only the links generated by the plugin. You can strip links from content in the latest plugin update, by checking the ‘Strip Links from Imported Content’ checkbox in the plugin’s ‘Main Settings’ menu.
Regards, Szabi – CodeRevolution.
Hi Szabi
Yes, I thought that removing the links from the imported content would be the only the option here.
So what about the imported content then, will this content cause issues with search engines for duplicated content or will it be fine one it’s been posted on the site by the plugin?
One other thing here, would it be possible to add the function so you have the option of selecting items from different price ranges? So, for example, I want to get items with a minimum price of say £20 as I don’t want items that are for £10 to be imported by the tool.
Thanks
To make imported content unique, you can use text spinning (example tutorial video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7m3cGX3ZOY) or you can combine the functionality of multiple plugins I created and add into generated posts content generated by multiple plugins (tutorial video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BW5ZxDo_Jw and also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY7wB7gfiS4).
Regarding the importing of items in price ranges, unfortunately this feature is not currently supported by the Envato API, I could only make a custom update for the plugin that would filter items returned by the API and publish only those that meet the price requirements. However, as said, this will filter only items already returned by the API and might import anything, if the price restrictions you set are too tight. If you are interested in this update, please contact me at my email kisded@yahoo.com
Regards.
Hi Szabi
So would it be fine to leave it as it is or does the content need to be spun to avoid any issues even as an affiliate?
Thanks
You can leave it as is, it will work. However, to achieve better results and to get more organic traffic from Google, you can make the content unique, this will improve organic traffic.
Regards.
Hi Szabi
So we have ran some tests and found that they are not auto updating the posts once they are set?
Example, the last posts done with the plugin were on the 26th and today it’s the 29th and it’s set to post currently every 24 hours? So it’s not working.
Thanks
Hello,
Please send temporary admin login credentials to my email kisded@yahoo.com and i check on this issue.
Regards.
I have a question about synchronization.
After importing the items, how does the plugin work to update prices, demo links, images and the contents of the sales page? What can be synchronized and what will not be synchronized? Is it done from time to time as we define it, for example once a day?
As a suggestion, it would be interesting if the price converted to other currencies and a google box for translating the post’s content could be displayed on the front end.
Hello,
Thank you for your question.
The plugin will try to synchronize the full imported content of all imported posts. You can set auto updating by a schedule, once an hour, twice a day, once a day, once a week or once a month.
Regarding your suggestion, it sounds useful, thank you, I noted it. 
Regards, Szabi – CodeRevolution.
Hi Szabi
Just a few quick questions about this plugin here if you don’t mind below.
1, Which affiliate program on Envato do you choose to run this plugin as a first timer since they have 3 options, which do you reccommend?
2, What about themes, can it be used with any theme?
Thanks
Hello,
Thank you for contacting me.
This plugin should be used with Envato’s affiliate program from Impact Radius called ‘Envato Market’.
Other affiliate programs of Envato promote other programs that they run, like Envato Elements, and these cannot be used by the plugin.
Regarding themes, this plugin can be used with any WordPress theme, so you can choose the one you like the most.
Regards, Szabi – CodeRevolution.
Hi Szabi
Thanks for the reply, can you forward me the correct links to there signup pages so I have the correct site as to run this plugin?
Thanks
Sure, please check here: https://app.impact.com/secure/mediapartner/marketplace/new-campaign-marketplace-flow.ihtml?execution=e3s1#/all/q=envato
Which one to join: https://ibb.co/NCsq6xy
I hope this helps.

Hi Szabi
Thanks for that info, i am now just waiting for approval from the team before i proceed with the order for the plugin.
Thanks
I also thank you.
Hi Szabi
Just testing the plugin today and I found that when any user browers the sales pages there are alot of demo links that sellers provide right?
Well when you access these demo links the affiliate id are NO longer there in the URLs which means they can go ahead and purchase the item without any credit going to the affiliate?
Please confirm this as i have tried 3 different sales pages after import and they are the same with NO affiliate link ID inside them, by clicking on the Live Preview, Buy Now and Screenshot buttons you are fine but not demo links.
Thanks
Hello,
Can you give me, please, an example demo link, so I can better understand to which links are you referring to? Please send me an example URL and highlight the links that I should check. Thank you.
Regards.
Hi Szabi
An email has been sent to explain to the issue, I hope it makes sense to you now.
Thanks
Hello,
Thank you for pointing this out. You are right, this was missing from the plugin. I updated it to v3.3.4.2, now it also adds affiliate links inside the imported post content.
Please check.
Kind Regards, Szabi – CodeRevolution.
Dear Sir,
I am interested in your buying your plugin. However, before making purchase I would like to know few things related to your plugin. So, I request you to answer them at the earliest, so that I can take a call soon.
I have a website www.xyz.com, where using WooCommerce I am selling my products. So, this affiliate plugin should I enable on the same website? or I can have one more website (ex: www.xyzaffiliate.com) dedicated to affiliate marketing for my products?
Is there any way I can link my products from www.belltpo.com to www.belltpoaffiliate.com? So, if anyone registers to be an affiliate for my products and if it’s a successful payment he should get the percentage allocated for that particular product.
Also in multi level affiliate marketing Ex: If agent 1 manages to bring 2 new agents and those two new users sell my product which has 10% commission then agent 1 needs to get 4% (2% + 2%) commission and those two agents should get 8% commission respectively. Whether this provision is available in MLM?
I am really interested in buying your plugin however, the cost for your plugin is on the higher side. Due to covid pandemic my sales got badly impacted. So, if I get a good discount from you would be highly appreciated. Please let me know if there is any coupon code available for the same. Looking forward to your response.
Regards

Hello,
This plugin creates posts on your site with Envato affiliate links in their content. Practically this plugins was created to promote Envato Marketplace products (like CodeCanyon, ThemeForest, PhotoDune and others) as an affiliate and earn an income from this.
The plugin will not create your own affiliate program for your WooCommerce products.
I hope this clears things up.
Regards, Szabi – CodeRevolution.
“The link you clicked on is malformed. Contact the editor of the originating page.”
Hello,
Thank you for contacting me.
I checked and the issue is caused by the fact that you did not enter the correct ‘Impact Radius Affiliate URL’ in the plugin settings.
Please check these steps to get your affiliate URL: https://coderevolution.ro/knowledge-base/faq/how-to-get-my-impact-radius-affiliate-link/Please let me know if this helped.
Regards, Szabi – CodeRevolution.
I change, but i cant get to work
Hello,
This is weird, I entered my affiliate URL from Impact Radius: https://1.envato.market/c/1264868/275988/4415 – deleted old posts and recreated them to make sure that the URL is refreshed, but for me, the link worls: http://wpinitiate.com/coderevolution/demo48e8777a/2020/06/02/avada-website-builder-for-wordpress-woocommerce/
Can you check, please, if you entered the affiliate URL from Impact Radius correctly? Also, please delete old posts and reimport them after you change the URL, so posts can be updated.
If you do not manage to make this work, please contact Impact Radius’ support (or Envato affiliate support), because there might be something not working with your Impact affiliate URL.
Let me know if you have news on this.
Regards.
Thank you so much, im sure is a Impact Radius problem, your plugin is not the problem.
Please let me know if you have news on this, and if i can continue to help.
Hey, Can you develop me a solution where envato products are imported to „affiliate products“ of Woocommerce?
Kind regards
Hello,
Thank you for contacting me.
The plugin can already create “affiliate products” for WooCommerce. You have to use the ‘Post Custom Taxonomies’ settings field in the plugin settings to set necessary meta data for generated products, so WooCommerce will know that it is an “affiliate product”. Please check details in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YB6t4ZUw6Bw
Regards, Szabi – CodeRevolution.
HI here, i test demo following video tutorial. I test multiple times with Vanity Url (change name, url like this /2222/2222/222, etc) But when click any post to “buy” product i have this message:
“The link you clicked on is malformed. Contact the editor of the originating page.”
Its all OK? Any help?
Hello,
Thank you for contacting me.
Please send me the demo URL you created, also the post’s URL where you get the malformed URL error, so I can check on this.
Regards, Szabi – CodeRevolution.
Hey man, I contacted Envato support because my site dont generate any earnings from the start till now, they said (I noticed you’re using a link that auto-populates the item in to the cart, which isn’t advisable and we have had issues with this in the past. ) I need to make the link genrated is to the item page not to checkout.
Hello,
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. It is interesting that for me, the auto purchase links worked in the past, also for affiliate commissions. This might be a new issue on Envato’s side, since the Impact Radius migration.
To disable the auto purchase redirect on links, please go to the plugin’s ‘Main Settings’ -> uncheck the ‘Automatically Go To Checkout Page On Envato When Purchasing Items’ checkbox -> save settings -> import new posts.
Regards, Szabi – CodeRevolution.
Thanks for fast response, Perfect support , Is there any idea to fix also the old posts, event replacing methods from database?
You can try something like this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-search-replace/
But I advise you to make a database backup before you go in with this plugin to replace links.
Hi there, Does the “add referral ref=’username’ to all Envato related links in post content” feature work with the new Impact Radius links?
Hello,
No, this feature is not yet implemented, because i did not find a way to automatically do this from code.
Regards, Szabi – CodeRevolution.
Hi, i have 2 questions: 1. Can i sort downloaded ithems (e.g: best sellers, best rated)? 2. Can i make post with group of ithems basing on search? I see only the option where i must add the ids of ithems.
Hello,
First of all, thank you for your purchase.
1. You can make the theme sorting by importing themes from different plugin menus. For example, the ‘Popular Market Items’ plugin menu will import best selling themes, the ‘Featured Market Items’ plugin menu will get featured items, and so on.
2. To import content based on keyword search, please go to the ‘Keyword Search Items’ plugin menu.
Also, please check the plugin’s tutorial video, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_r3ufc4o00

Thank you for your answer
I have a problem with ‘Grouped Items Posts’.
This is my rules: https://pluscms.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/grouped-ithems-posts.png
And this is my generated post: https://pluscms.net/najlepsze-szablony-wordpress-dla-przedszkola-top-total_item_count/
I have turn on ‘Automatically Translate Content To:’ to Polish. I think this is the problem. Is this a plugin bug?
Hello,
Thank you for reporting this issue. I made a plugin update (v3.2.1) and fixed it. Please update the plugin and let me know if it is working correctly for you now.
Regards.
Hi, Thank you for this update. Now translate working ok.
Some errors for settings:https://pluscms.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/ustawienia-2.jpg. Here is the post: https://pluscms.net/najlepsze-szablony-wordpress-dla-przedszkola-top-4/
1. In %generate_item_thumbnail % is a broken link.
2. %item_last_update % does not show data.
3. I think CSS is translated and i can not change the color of the buy now link: https://pluscms.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/css-tlumaczenie.jpg
4. At the end of the post there is an error in %generate_item_intro %.
5. There is also ’% sentence_ending’ in text.
Hello,
I updated the plugin to v 3.2.1.1, please check changes.
1. Should be fixed, added notranslate class to it.
2. Fixed.
3. Well, this is tough, Google Translate seems to do a very lousy job at translating HTML code, lately. I would recommend that you add the CSS in your styles also for the translate and English class name. I will continue to think on a better solution for this.
4. Should be fixed, added notranslate class to sensitive content.
5. Are you sure you did not delete the %sentence_ending from the Random Sentence Generator -> ‘Variable List’ from plugin’s ‘Main Settings’? I checked and this worked for me.
Regards.
Ok, i updated the plugin. Then i turned on ‘Run This Rule Now’ without making changes.You can see the post on the same link.
You can see the effect in the post, but below what I see now.
1. ‘ %generate_item_thumbnail %’ displays: < img src = “URL” alt = “thumbnail”/>
2. The post has a html code: < span class = “midas_thumb” style = “width: 440px”>
3. There are still some spaces in the links in some places.
Maybe I will give you access to wp-admin?
ps. Ad. 5. I did not change these settings. But now ’% sentence_ending’ has not been displayed.
Hello,
Can you send me, please, temporary admin login credentials to your WordPress install, so I can check this issue out? My email is kisded@yahoo.com

Hi, this plugin works with new Envato affiliate program on https://app.impact.com/?
Hello,
Yes, it is compatible with the new affiliate program from Envato.
Regards, Szabi – CodeRevolution.
This plugin got my vps suspended due to a dmca takedown by the product owners we are trying to promote with this plugin.
Hello,
The only valid scenario in which an author makes a dmca takedown notice is when the theme or plugin zip file is available for download on the targeted page.
You can contact the author and let him know that your website was not a nulled website (which offers pirated content from CodeCanyon), but an affiliate website which promoted his work. You can show him snapshots with The Wayback Machine of your website and demonstrate him that your website is legit.
Please send me also your website url, so i can check it.
If he accepts, you can make a counter dmca claim, to restore your website.
Regards, Szabi – CodeRevolution.
Your fellow WP-SpamShield developed by Scott J. Allen has an illegal takedown notice to digital ocean for the site themebooker.com which he claim is a warez site, just because I used your plugin, the whole server is down together with more than 15 sites hosted on that droplet.
You can submit a counter DMCA notice, to restore your website.
Guide on how to do it, here: https://help.github.com/articles/guide-to-submitting-a-dmca-counter-notice/
I can testify that by using my plugin, you did not created a Warez website, but an affiliate website, and this is a misunderstanding of WP-SpamShield.
Anyway, to be honest, it was pretty misleading, because you created post titles as ‘Download [theme_name]’. https://web.archive.org/web/20180827230314/https://themebooker.com/
Regards.
Envato affiliate moved to impact radius, is there any update for this plugin ?
Hello,
Yes, I am aware of this. No update is needed for the plugin because of this change, because the old ?ref=username link parameter remained as the referral link tracking system marker, also in the new version of the Impact Radius tracking method.
So, the old version is the same as the new one, and will fully work.
Regards, Szabi – CodeRevolution.
So you mean, I can keep using the plugin ? But from October the affiliate will be stopped here.
Yes, you can keep using the plugin. But you must register on Impact Radius and after you register and make the transfer to Impact Radius, the earnings will show up there.
Regards.
Are there any error?
Hello,
The plugin is functioning. Please check it’s live demo: http://coderevolution.ro/wp/hand-of-midas-test-generator/
Regards, Szabi – CodeRevolution.
Hello
Nice Plugin, I just tried the demo, and Want to know -
- There is setting for MAx 50 item import at a time, If I’ll use 50 -50 -50 items again and again, it may create the duplicate posts am I right or wrong ?
- How I can import all items for any market place or particular Category ?
Hello,
No, the plugin checks for duplicate posts, and will not posts duplicates (it will skip posts that are already posted).
The plugin is also able to use results paging. This means that it will import 50 posts, and the next time it runs it will continue to post from where it left the last time it posted (it will continue to import content from item number 51).
If you run the rule enough times, all items should be imported (over time).
Regards, Szabi – CodeRevolution.
Thank you very much for clearing the doubt.
Ok After importing all Items, How to check for new Items or how to import new Items ? Do I have to use the same method ? If I’ll use the same method – and I use 50 new post but in actual there are only 10 new post, So it will be stopped after importing new 10 items, am I right? Is this how it will work ?
I would suggest that you try out the live demo of the plugin, here: http://coderevolution.ro/wp/hand-of-midas-test-generator/
In the ‘Keyword Search Items’ section of the plugin, you can import items from Envato by marketplace. You can input there parameters to import items from all marketplaces.
The ‘Remember Last Posted Item And Continue Search From It’ rule parameter will define if items should be returned by remembering the last imported item, or each importing should search for last items posted in each category.
Regards, Szabi – CodeRevolution.
But it does not work as it should be
http://prntscr.com/jqxvk5 – I have tried it with many times, “Newest Market Items Rules” only extract new items. Not the Old one. How to extract old items
In screenshot I have tried for all but it only extract the items which are new or newly added. And leave the old items. I want to extract ALL Items, How I can do that ?
I also tried the “Keyword Search Items” – http://prntscr.com/jqxxpf – it also not working it showing the Yellow icon and import nothing.
MY Question is still there- How I can import ALL Items, and After importing all items, How I can import only new items, without making duplicate?
Can you send me, please, the demo URL where you tried the plugin out, so I can check on this?
Thank you. Regards.
I checked it on demo provided by you at
http://coderevolution.ro/wp/hand-of-midas-test-generator/
I think these are randomly generated demo http://coderevolution.ro/wp/demof322e5f6/
now this demo isnot working
My system will automatically delete test blogs that are older than a specific age. This test blog is marked for deletion. Can you create please, another test site and show me the issue you are having in it?
Thank you. Regards.
Hello
I started a new one and its the link http://coderevolution.ro/wp/demoa89d5833 , I did the same there please check phpbb
Are you on skype , please share the username, [ for faster communication]
Hello,
I see that phpbb category has 0 items on CodeCanyon: https://codecanyon.net/category/phpbb
I don’t have access to skype now, because I am not my phone (in my timezone, it is night time, I don’t have access to my work computer until morning).
Regards.
I have already used different category there
https://codecanyon.net/category/plugins/virtuemart But it showing the Yellow icon
Ok so please tell me the best time for communication
Please note that this is a subcategory (not a category). To include posts from here, please use this format for the ‘Search Category’ parameter:
plugins/virtuemart
To search for posts from a subcategory, please use this format: category/subcategory. Example: plugins/virtuemart

Last question http://coderevolution.ro/wp/democ9c773ab/wp-admin/admin.php?page=midas_keyword_search – “plugins/virtuemart” [https://codecanyon.net/category/plugins/virtuemart] has 34 items, but it stopped after importing 14 items. and now its showing Yellow icon.why its not importing other items ? what is the meaning of Yellow icon ? The activity Log showing this – 6-Jun-2018 18:14:07 UTCKeywordSearchItems No posts inserted (none found)!
plugins/zencart has 9 items and its success with all.
Hello,
I checked and this is because you imported some posts from the ‘plugins/virtuemart’ category with another rule. In post listing, some posts appear with ‘coderevolution_post_source’ set to 7_2: http://coderevolution.ro/wp/democ9c773ab/wp-admin/edit.php?coderevolution_post_source=Hand_of_Midas_7_2&post_type=post
This means that they were generated using the rule that was deleted (but the posts it generated were not deleted).
If you sum up posts from rule ID 0 and ID 2 – you will get all posts that are in the plugins/virtuemart category.
Please let me know if I explained this clear enough.
Regards.
Ok All Done, Thanks
Hello Google Url Shortner not working, its still showing the default URL
Hello,
Yes, Google URL shortener is no longer supported. I am doing a research right now on alternative URL shorteners, that will replace Goo.gl in the plugin.
I will have to update all my plugins with this change, so implementing this may take about 4-5 days.
Please stay tuned for updates, the new URL shortener should come soon to all my plugins.
Regards, Szabi – CodeRevolution.
Hello
That would be Great. , Can I use my own custom URL Shortner ? Like this https://codecanyon.net/item/premium-url-shortener/3688135
One more thing – Is it possible to limit the iamges per item ? or no images, except Featured image.
Also is it possible to wrap the html tags around some sections, like price or username, or if any option not to import them or hide them ?
Right now the plugin copy all the data from source site and the content is stuffed with too much html, is there any option or scope to remove those unnecessary html ? or is that HTML is used to auto update the content in future ?
Hello,
I can add the custom URL shortener in a payed custom update, that will be available only for you.
I have updated the plugin (v3.1.5) and added a new option to rules: ‘Strip Images From Post Content’ – using this, you will be able to remove images.
To edit content, please try to modify the ‘Generated Post Content’ settings field in rule settings. You will be able to use these shortcodes:
%%random_sentence%%, %%random_sentence2%%, %%see_more_button%%, %%buy_now_button%%, %%video_preview%%, %%video_preview_button%%, %%item_screenshots_button%%, %%item_rotating_preview_button%%, %%live_preview_button%%, %%generate_item_intro%%, %%generate_item_thumbnail%%, %%item_preview%%, %%item_title%%, %%item_description%%, %%item_description_plain_text%%, %%item_id%%, %%item_media_url%%, %%item_img_url%%, %%item_video_url%%, %%item_thumb_url%%, %%item_url%%, %%item_user%%, %%item_cost%%, %%item_cat%%, %%item_tags%%, %%item_uploaded%%, %%item_last_update%%, %%item_sales%%, %%item_rating%%, %%facebook_share_button%%, %%google_plus_share_button%%, %%twitter_share_button%%, %%pinterest_share_button%%
Regards.
Thank you for help
Hello
Any update about URL shortner ?
Also how to wrap Image or text with above given shortcodes ?
Hello,
I updated the plugin a couple of days ago, but it seems that the updated was not applied for some reason to my update server and it was not made public.
I fixed the update issue, please check now for updates in WordPress, the new update will be available.

This is item url %item_url %,
This is item image url %item_img_url %
