I don’t understand why it is not clearly stated in the documentation, but the shortcode [affiliates_banner]
supports the url parameter. if you need your banners to be directed to a different page on you website just use it:
[affiliates_banner url="http://mywebsite.com/thispage"]
i was adding this functionality to the plugin myself before discovering it was already there. o_O
please update the banner documentation accordingly, nobody likes to waste time, thank you.
Documentation updated Banners
Thanks for pointing that out Bruno, this is certainly missing in the documentation and should be in there!
