Affiliate tracking on 2nd WP install (another WordPress install)

[JeffreyL]

Hi,

I am wanting to use 2 themes on the 1 domain. So I’m going to install WordPress twice. i.e.

WP Install/Theme 1. Folder = Home directory. This theme will have full navigation and be the main site which sells 175 MP3 files.

WP Install/Theme 2. Folder = Salesletters directory. This theme will be for stand alone single page sales pages… accessible from links in eZine and marketing material my affilaties send out.

My questions. If I use the affilaite plugin on theme 1 will it also track visitor/sale for I send to theme 2. Just that I want to have my affiliates send potential buys to both themes.

Regards

Jeff

A WordPress plugin cannot access stuff outside the WordPress install that it belongs to. A better way to understand this is to ask yourself the following question:

Can you activate the “Akismet” plugin in one WordPress install and expect it to block spam comments on all of your WordPress installs? The answer is no. The same boundary applies to any WordPress plugin.

If you want to track clicks and commissions from all your other WordPress installs using one install of the affiliate plugin you can do the following:

We have developed a small helper plugin that you can place on your other wordpress installs and it will communicate with the main plugin installed on the main site to track clicks and sales remotely.

Let me know if this method will help.
