Solved eBay link gives 'The ebay item id given is invalid, no result has been sent'

I have a live a test site. Both run Junena on J3.4.3. The live site runs K3.0.7 and the test site runs K4.0.3.

Whenever a post contains an embedded eBay element, the above message is displayed in place of the eBay widget.

The results are the same across both versions of Kunena. I have noticed that the problem has been happening for a few months now.

I can see from Google that other sites are having the same problem. It was discussed about a year ago and a fix seems to have been put into an earlier version of Kunena.

I have tried several eBay item ids and am sure these are valid.

Can anyone suggest how I resolve this please?

This is my live configuration:

Hello,

First of all you need to update Kunena to 3.0.8 version, it should be fixed in this version

I am a little confused. The question seems to be related to K 3.0.7 (and, yes, xillibit is right that this was fixed in K 3.0.. By the way in case people may be wondering where to find K 3.0.8 (because the direct link has been removed from the download page) it is here: github.com/Kunena/Kunena-Forum/releases/...3.0.8_2015-04-05.zip

I am confused because the question seems to be related to K 3.0 but it was posted in the K 4.0 General Questions category.

Therefore, I would like to know which version of Kunena djb is querying: K 3.0 or K 4.0?

I have the same problem on my live site (K3.0.7) and my test site (K4.0.3).

I will install 3.0.8 on my live site and report back. Thank you for the link.

I am having the same problem and my live site is running the Kunena 4.0.5 and Joomla 3.4.3

Please post up a resolution here when found!

try clean cache

I tried again, its still working.

Make sure your Appid is correct and clean cache

That got me going! Excellent. Thank you so much!
