if i reinstall back this plugin, do i lost all my affiliates???

admin November 17, 2009 at 7:32 am

@Shahrul, this shouldn’t happen can you please post the URL of where you are using this plugin so I can take a look?

Reinstalling the plugin doesn’t delete any affiliate record or the settings. In other words nothing gets lost.

the link is on my website, you can click my name.. anyway, if u want the admin access, i can send to ur email..

admin November 17, 2009 at 8:29 am

Okay I had a quick look and it looks like you have two sperate wordpress installation. One in your root domain:

http://www.hafizjewel.com/

and the other at the following URL:

http://www.hafizjewel.com/affiliate

You didn’t install the plugin on the wordpress install that is on your root domain. How is it suppose to track the links if the plugin isn’t even installed? It’s like you have installed the Akismet plugin on “wordpress install A” and you are expecting it to block spam comment on “wordpress install B”.

Please let me know if this is not the case.

Hi I have the same problem, the system doesn’t tracks the klicks. You find my url, if you click to my name

Did you put the affiliate link on a different page then click on it to test or did you just enter the link in the browser directly?

Affiliate December 8, 2009 at 10:52 am

in the browser and in a page

Affiliate December 8, 2009 at 10:56 am

@Affiliate, I can’t find your email address in my customer database. Can you please use a valid email that you used to purchase the plugin so I can verify it and give you proper support?

Affiliate December 8, 2009 at 11:00 am

A programmer has bought the products and installed for me. He’s mail is unclearbit@gmail.com.

admin December 8, 2009 at 12:08 pm

I understand… I can’t find your programmers email address in my database either. I would recommend you contact the programmer to address this issue. Due to people illegally reselling my plugin without my permission I have been verifying every purchase before I offer support. I hope you understand this.

Affiliate December 8, 2009 at 12:15 pm

yes of course but he has bought the plugin only for me and installed it.

admin December 8, 2009 at 12:24 pm

I understand but I need to verify this.. there is a really simple solution to this.. please have your programmer contact me and once the verification is done I will be over to your site to address the issue.

Affiliate December 8, 2009 at 4:50 pm

got the e-mail?

admin December 8, 2009 at 9:05 pm

Yep I have sent you an email so we can organize site access so I can take a look at this.

Hi Admin
We had a similar problem to what Shahrul has had in the posts we have reviewed, except that we have only installed your plug-in in one directory ie /affiliates
After we installed your plugin I thought we had found the answer to our prayers…I was wrong!

We don’t see any statistics at all even click through’s see the statistic working

admin April 1, 2010 at 8:06 am

Hi Bill, please provide the following pieces of information so I can see what is missing:

1) URL of the landing page of a product (a page where you are testing this is fine).
2) The URL of the affiliate login page.

Did you do any custom modification to the plugin?

Was wondering if this is compatiable with wordpress 3.0

admin August 12, 2010 at 6:48 am

@Mike, all of our plugins are compatible with the latest version of WordPress.

Mike August 12, 2010 at 7:05 am

can it be used for zen cart or other platforms

Ivy August 13, 2010 at 1:30 am

Hi Mike, The Affiliate is already pre integrated with some platforms. You can find all the integration options under the section called “Integration” here:

There is also a generic integration option for platforms that are not listed on the above page:
