My log in for affiliates still doesn’t work.
I created a page for Affiliate Area. Put this code on it after installing your plugin:
[itthinx_login_redirect redirect_url=”http://www.wisemanconcept.com/affiliates-only”/]
[affiliates_affiliate_profile edit_email="true" show_attributes="paypal_email,referral_amount" edit_attributes="paypal_email" /]
For our control purposes you can only edit your paypal account details and your e-mail address. You can also edit your e-mail address in your profile.
THEN … when the affiliate logs in they can see EVERYONE affiliate details and not only their own. I need them to be able to see their own details only. You know, visits, referrals, etc. Can this not be done?
Hope we can sort this one soon. It will be a major load off my shoulders
This (affiliates can access affiliate back end) is because of your permission settings Yvette, when we were talking yesterday you mentioned that this happens. It’s very easy to adjust: Go to Affiliates > Options and under Permissions make sure that there are checkmarks only for the Administrator role. Then hit Save, log out and log in as an affiliate. As affiliates are simple subscribers to the blog, they won’t have access to it. Of course this is the default setting, also on the Screenshots page you can see the default settings. After adjusting that you should be ready to rock
I don’t think I’m making myself clear. I want each affiliate to be able to see his activity when he logs in. His own activity only. When I set the settings to the way you have shown, my affiliates can only see their profile. That’s it. Is that the way it is?
You’re confusing the back end which is targeted at higher-privileged users like administrators with the shortcode extensions that are placed at the front end and are used to show affiliates their data.
Best is take a look at the index Setting up affiliate resources or directly Showing affiliate statistics which offers several subsections on how to set these pages up.
Hi Kento
My Affiliate statistics are showing at last.
It seems the affiliate can’t see the contact details of the person requesting contact. I can’t see an item on the list of programming that will give them that. Is there such an item? Or do the affiliates not get the referrals contact details?
OH! I see! Oh my. I have so much to learn. Ok let me try again.
If you have any further questions please ask. It will sure help others as well
The system is designed to be versatile but the default options are configured in a way that should suit your needs.
Hi Kento. I have now tried everything with this plugin. It just won’t work. When I log in as an affiliate I am taken to the WordPress profile page and not the Affiliate profile page.
This is the redirect code I have put in. Where am I going wrong?
[itthinx_login_redirect redirect_url="http://wisemanconcept.com/affiliates-only" /]
And suddenly it just worked! Sorry. Ignore my previous comment.
What did you change to make it work?
I had to put a space between the ” and the / at the end. There was no space.
I put this short code on a Referral Stats page for Affiliates. When I log in as an affiliate nothing shows. Where am I going wrong?
[affiliates_affiliate_stats type=”stats-referrals” data=”message” show_pending=”true” show_rejected="true" /]
This is how it is supposed to work. It doesn’t show anything if you’re not an affiliate.
Hi Kento. I have put this code in on my Affiliate Links page. The problem is that this page shows to the public. Shouldn’t affiliate pages only show to affiliates once they are logged in?
Anyhow, this is the code and what I don’t understand is that the render code (the supposed short code) is exactly the same as the one above. Is it because I am using MD5?
The very bottom link I put in to see how it looks and also for them to use but then the link actually comes up. How can I give them the code to copy and paste somewhere.
This is your affiliate link
[affiliates_affiliate_link /]
Embed the code below in your emails and links to keep it short
[affiliates_affiliate_link render=”code” /]
[affiliates_affiliate_link content="Zero means everything!" a_class="linkalink clear" a_id="big_fat_warning_link" a_style="font-size:2em;font-style:italics;color:#300;padding:1em;display:block;text-decoration:none;" a_target="_blank" a_title="Click it, you know you want to"]Awesome link[/affiliates_affiliate_link]
You can go to the site http://wisemanconcept.com and it will show. You will see. Everyone can see it.
Showing affiliate pages only to affiliates: you can use any access control plugin to restrict access to pages, for example http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-access-control/ does a nice job at that. You can use it to restrict access to affiliate pages to members only.
The second shortcode renders the markup, but in your case it appears exactly as the first shortcode. This sound very familiar … maybe right double quotes again? Make sure that the quotes used on render=”code” are real double quotes.
The links are supposed to be shown to anyone, affiliates and non-affiliates, so that those who are not yet affiliated can see what resources they will get (banners etc.)
You can also use WAC to restrict access to that page. It also provides shortcodes that you can use to show alternative content for members and non-members.
The code shows up like this now.

How do I embed it. I tried to and sent it to you in an email but it doesn’t seem to work.
What am I doing wrong?
It shows up correctly on your affiliate page. Judging by that, you’re doing it right now
How do I create a new line of questions or does this just go on and on? On our site the ebooks that we sell do not give commission to the affiliates but they do create clients for our affiliates. When I incorporate the Jigoshop, do the affiliates have to earn on the products? I don’t want to start this and waste time. I’d rather just set up a paypal purchase in that case, however, the Jigoshop will be great if no comms have to go to the affiliates.
If you don’t want to pay the affiliates commissions on sales you can set the referral amount to 0. You will still see referrals but with zero amounts.
Ok great. That way people can at least see who has bought a book and maybe follow up or something.
I like this code. But how do I show the embed information to the affiliate instead of the actual visual.
[affiliates_affiliate_link content="Zero means everything!" a_class="linkalink clear" a_id="big_fat_warning_link" a_style="font-size:2em;font-style:italics;color:#300;padding:1em;display:block;text-decoration:none;" a_target="_blank" a_title="Click it, you know you want to"]Awesome link[/affiliates_affiliate_link]
Please read the section on affiliate links here.
I have tried to show name and email using this code:
[affiliates_affiliate_stats type="stats-referrals" data="name" data="email" data="message" show_pending="true" show_rejected="true" /]
I also tried show_name=”true” etc. Didn’t work.
lol
I’m trying hard. Not hard enough?
It’s almost right, if you want to show them the message you would use:
[affiliates_affiliate_stats type="stats-referrals" data="message" /]
To show message and name:
[affiliates_affiliate_stats type="stats-referrals" data="name,message" /]
But I would strongly advise against showing affiliates any of that because of the obvious privacy issues that this drags along.
Thanks Kento. I understand about the privacy however, our affiliates are not NORMAL affiliates. They are really agents. We expect more from them than affiliates. They do start off as affiliates though so I’ll take your advice for the automation part.
Thanks for a fabulous plugin! I’m getting the hang of it
Hi Kento,
I just can’t get to think like a programmer. I am trying to get the embed code to render. Where am I going wrong?
This is what I have.
[affiliates_affiliate_link content="Zero means everything!" a_class="linkalink clear" a_id="big_fat_warning_link" a_style="font-size:2em;font-style:italics;color:#300;padding:1em;display:block;text-decoration:none;" a_target="_blank" a_title="Click it, you know you want to"]Awesome link[/affiliates_affiliate_link]
[affiliates_affiliate_link render="Zero means everything!" a_class="linkalink clear" a_id="big_fat_warning_link" a_style="font-size:2em;font-style:italics;color:#300;padding:1em;display:block;text-decoration:none;" a_target="_blank" a_title="Click it, you know you want to" /]
Both of them are correct, in what does the outcome they produce differ from what you expect? I can imagine in the first case, you’d expect to see Awesome link but you will get Zero means everything because specifying the content attribute overrides the actual content within the shortcode tags.
Hi there,
When an affiliate registers he gets an email giving him his log in details and a link to go to where he can log in. When he logs in there he is taken to the wordpress login page and not to the affiliate management pages. How can I change this link to go to a page on the site instead.
Yvette
Maybe this plugin can help? http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/peters-login-redirect/
Can’t be a plugin Kento. Surely? It’s your system that sends out the email to the affiliate that registers. How can a plugin change the link in the email the Affiliate Pro system sends out?
WordPress is sending the email, not the Affiliates plugin. What the affiliate receives is the normal welcome message that WordPress sends to newly registered users. If what you want is to change the login screen itself, I’d suggest to search a plugin that does that here http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/login
Oh I understand now.
Ok great. Will check it out.
Thanks!
Yvette
Hi there,
Is there a way to change the affiliate of a referral. I have a guy who sent out the wrong link and a referral came in direct instead of via him. It is now recorded incorrectly. Do I just load his details again on the affiliate’s site? Or is there a way to change the affiliate for that person easily?
Hi Yvette, there’s no way to change the affiliate related to a referral through the user interface (this is on purpose) but you can set the status of the referral that has been recorded to rejected. If you want to assign a new affiliate to that person and do not want the previous link to be active, then you can simply remove the previous affiliate.
Hello,
I am currently using Jigoshop Light and Affiliates at our website:
http://www.astrasuite.com/astrablog/online-shop/
So far, so good. It is a simple implementation. Does Affiliates Pro with Jigoshop have a feature where commission percentages are by product ?
We plan to have different products, and these come from different sources with different profit margins, where we cannot give the same rate for all products.
This is more crucial to us than having a rate for each affiliate, which can be a lot of work if there are hundreds of affiliates.
Thanks
Hi Joe,
Affiliates Pro allows to use a referral amount method which provides an alternative to rate-based or fixed amount referrals.
For your requirement, such a referral amount method would have to be coded along with a way to assign referral rates to individual products. If you want to clarify this customization for you, please contact me before acquiring the Pro pack.
i have installed and cannot get any shortcodes to work and i cannot find the generate page from the options menu to help get me started… love the plugin please help
I’ll help you to make the shortcodes work, can you please post how you are using them or shall we have a look on the site directly? About the Generate button, it should be there unless the version is outdated. We can update that as well.
