For those looking to add an awesome looking table to existing affiliate content, look no further.
Content Egg is an incredible free plugin that utilizes the API functions from several different marketplaces — Amazon, CJ, Rakuten, Envato, and many others.
The best part? There’s no more copying and pasting code from other websites to insert products. You can search for them.

I found that the plugin worked great, but I wanted something a bit different. A fresh install of the plugin does generate tables but shows the price of the product by default. It also doesn’t allow you to add a custom description under each item.
While it complies with Amazon’s Terms of Service (the price updates frequently), I don’t necessarily like showing the user the price. I think it deters them from clicking often).
Instead, I like “View Price,” “See Price,” “Check Price,” or “See Reviews.” I find that it converts better.
The default installation of Content Egg doesn’t allow for hiding the price, so I went ahead and created a custom PHP template that you can use with CE.
This template has helped increase my Amazon Associates earnings over the past year.
Here’s what the table looks like:

Just a quick note — your table will look a little different based on your theme and CSS, so if it doesn’t look exactly the same, that’s why.
Content Egg Custom Template Installation
First of all, you need Content Egg. If you haven’t downloaded the plugin, you can either download it at this link. If for some reason you haven’t heard of Content Egg before, be sure to read my review here.
Note: I highly suggest using the Pro version of Content Egg, as I developed the template with the Pro version. Use the template at your own risk.
Once downloaded, extract the .zip file, have the file ready (filename is block_new_list_Two_Hour_Blogger_ Table), and keep this window open.
In another browser, head to your web hosting account and open up the cPanel.
Inside cPanel, look for the File Manager.

Once inside the File Manager, do not get overwhelmed. Double click on the wp-content folder first.
Inside the wp-content folder, create a new folder (located on the top left navigation bar) titled content-egg-templates. Make sure the spelling is correct. Double click on the folder you just created.
Inside the content-egg-templates folder, click Upload from the top navigation bar. Next, click ‘Choose File’ and navigate to the file you downloaded from me.
Once uploaded, you can exit cPanel and head back to your WordPress admin area.
Open up a post that has a Content Egg table (or one you’d like to add it to). In the bottom section, you’re now able to add the products you’d like along with a custom description to help better sell each product.

Make sure to select the custom template in the drop-down menu before pasting the shortcode into the post. Yours will look a little different (my template name is my old one), but look for [custom] in the drop-down. Paste the code into your post.
The shortcode should read [content-egg-block template=custom/new_list_Two_Hour_Blogger_ Table] or something similar.
It’s as easy as that.

Is it necessary to have specific version of content egg. It’s not working at my end. When i click on drop down list i am not able to see custom template option. If possible can you please help me out
This is the path for your template file provided by Nick. No need to create a folder –
wp-content/plugins/content-egg/templates
While this is true, if you put the custom template in this folder, it will be overwritten any time you update the plugin. This is why you should make the folder in the directory I’ve specified.
wp-content/content-egg-template
Hi Nick, you are right. It may get overwritten but I crosschecked with “wp-content/content-egg-template” option but the custom template was not visible. Can you crosscheck/verify with latest update of plugin?
Thanks!
Mine says ‘My Template Test [Custom]’ but this is the dropdown where you will find it (when I was developing it, I named it that).
Hi,
The template does work on both the Free and Premium version of Content Egg, but I haven’t tested it myself beyond getting it to show up in the template list. I would make sure you have the template uploaded to /wp-content/content-egg-templates
You have to make the /content-egg-templates folder yourself, also.
Let me know if you have any questions. I’m more than will to check it out for you, if you need.
Best,
Nick
How did you achieve “Best for Budget” tag in desc ( screenshot)?
To do that, you need to add this to the description:
Best For Budget
In the example screen shot, it says My Pick, but you can make this say Best for Budget.
Then, in your Theme Customizer, under Additional CSS, add this code:
.bestbudget {
background-color: #BED2F5 !important;
}
Hope that helps. Let me know if you need more help!
Thanks will try to implement and check the results.
Also any idea on how to add a middle column ( text ) in the custom table ?
It should be possible, though, you’d have to hire a developer to make the changes to the php template I’ve provided.
Hello!
I have been searching for something like this for a long time,
actually I am trying to edit the default “Product Card” template but I cant find it in the plugin directory in wordpress,
basically what I want to do is use the product card template and take away the text description, do you have a template or now of a easy way to edit the Product Card template?
thanks!
You have a typo in your screenshot – the folder to create should be:
content-egg-templates
And not:
content-egg-template
Thank you, will get that updated and fixed!
Thanks for the template. I have a little problem though, Mine is showing ‘Buy Now’ not ‘view price’. Please where do i go to change this?
Hi Mildred! If you go into Content Egg’s settings within the WordPress dashboard, you can change the ‘Buy now button text’ there. It’s located right under ‘Button color.’ Hope that helps!
This is Randy Savage stuff right here. You are the Macho Man! Many blessings amigo!
