Looks like you might have had a line break immediately before the ampersand, goodkel (e.g. it was on the second line of the find-and-replace box), so every time an ampersand occurs, a new line is created. Also, you might have done it backwards? The final result should result in all ampersands being converted to "&".
Ok, I switched it around and it found no instances of ampersands:
Let's try this instead - I made a short video of the find-and-replace process that should work, just make sure you're copying the code directly from Amazon and not from a previous attempt to use it.
Love the video! It seems that I got that part right last night. But, like an idiot, I forgot the [html]. My mind was so mired in the complications, that I forgot that very basic thing. I just added it to an attempt I had made last night and it worked! Yay!
Sorry for being an idiot. But, I am going to save this thread for future reference.
Thank you everyone who gave your time and expertise to help me! Especially David. xoxo
You may want to plan a vacation. My next project is building a new theme.
