I have 6 different membership types/options and one landing page. The landing page has ha button which will take the person to the page that contains the list of all membership types with their pmnt button.
my question is… in the affiliate software and for affiliates I have setup this landing page to have the affiliate link as in: http://empowertochange.com/news/empower-you?ap_id=XXXX
when the person lands here.. i can see the affiliate id carried over but once we click on the button to go to the page that has all memberships options, that page doesnt have the affiliate id. How can this be fixed?
The following two pages (your landing page and the join page) does not look like they are part of the same WordPress installation.
[http://empowertochange.com/news/empower-you/]
[http://empowertochange.com/join/]My testing shows that the landing page is part of a WordPress where the affiliate plugin is not even installed so its not going to track anything as the plugin is not even there.
Do you have multiple WordPress installations going?
That’s correct, I want to be able to build different landing pages which won’t be on the wordpress install where the plug ins and shopping cart are. Is this possible?
WordPress plugins do not work like that. Can you use your Akismet plugin from one install to block spams on another WordPress install? No. The plugin only works in the same WordPress install where the plugin is also installed.
Anyway, if you want to track clicks and commissions from all your other WordPress installs using one install of the affiliate plugin then the following option might help:
We have developed a small helper plugin that you place on your sub-domain/other wordpress installs and it will communicate with the main plugin installed on the main site to track clicks and sales remotely.
If the above solution sounds like something that will help then contact us here (mention this forum post) and we will send you this helper plugin:
What happens is that the sales letters we are using are created using optinpress theme which creates the sales pages.
Another alternative is to create an html as landing. I can use the same membership blog as a sales page. The way it should work is: you have a sales letter page, once people read what’s about, they will clock the button which then should direct people to the pages with the different subscriptions to chose form [http://empowwertochange.com/join/]
So how could the affiliate links be created to be placed on the sales letter button? this is the way all affiliates works like clickbank for example.
Don’t use plain HTML pages (the days of using plain HTML pages are over). You are using WordPress for a reason and WordPress has a superior method of creating sales pages. Its called “Custom page template”. This article will explain more:
How to Create and use Custom Page Template in WordPress to Create a Sales Page
Essentially it will be just like your stand alone sales page but it will be part of your WordPress installation so WordPress will be able to execute plugin codes and stuff in this page. When you create sales pages using the above method in WordPress all the plugin that is installed in this WordPress will be able to work on that sales page and the affiliate plugin will automatically work.
If you just create a stand alone HTML page (sale-page.html) and keep it somewhere on your site, the WordPress system does not know its existence and WordPress plugins can’t perform tasks on resources that is not part of WordPress.
The simple idea is that you have a WordPress system installed on your site now you use a “custom page template” for each of your sales pages. This way everything is part of this WordPress install. It gives you full flexibility as to how each of your sales pages look (and you are doing things the right way).
I checked my theme and does not have a page.php as it’s not a regular theme.
So I had opted for the satellite plugin.
I installed and registered for the free membership. It passed the information well with the referrer ID. I received the email as user and and the notification of the new signup.
The only problem now is that customer never received his login info? How will they know their user and password? i see the user entered both in wordpress as user and also in the membership area.
I appreciate if you can help on this, i am launching on Monday night.
“that customer never received his login info” – if you received the user signup notification then the email to the customer was also sent by the plugin. This post will give you ideas as to what else could have prevented the email from showing up in the customer’s inbox:
The issue is that the Customer DID receive the email and shows the info he entered for the free account, but in there there was No login info, only the same info entered on your form for 0 pmnt memberships.
Are we still talking about the affiliate plugin? This post was on affiliate plugin but from your last post it seems like you are talking about the eMember plugin? Please be as detailed as possible when you explain an issue. I do not see what you are seeing so the only way I can help you is if you explain the issue in detail so I can visualize the issue. I have no idea what you mean by
"0 pmnt memberships".i have a free membership which i have to set up through the shopping cart with charge of $0. When the person click to join on that membership, the registration form opens and the person fills it out. They register for the free membership. they are sent an email with their details and i receive a notification with that persons detail. Well on that email with the person’s detail there wasn’t any login info nor user name or password so the person has no idea on how to login.
this is what the customer receives:

Additional Comment:
as you can see no login info was passed
That makes sense. Basically, you are trying to make the plugin create a membership account when he/she checks out using manual checkout. The plugin does not automatically create membership account for manual checkout (the manual process implies that the membership account will be created manually after you receive the payment). I can see what you are wanting to do though… please post a new forum topic on this issue as it is not related to “Carrying Over the Affiliate ID” anymore (this is the title of this topic) and we will discuss options for that.
This question is still related to Carrying Over the Affiliate ID.
I have the satellite plugin on another wp blog to be used as sales page with the Optimized Press theme. I use a different autoresponder, not the ones you have tested for your program. I want to add an optin box to captures email addresses on that landing page which will be the one given to affiliates (as of now, it’s [http://empowertochange.com/news/empower-you/] and when the person clicks the Button they will go to this one: [http://empowertochange.com/join] which it’s the shopping cart/sales page. I want to change this. I want:
1. on the landing page, i want to eliminate the button that takes the person to the shopping cart/sales page and instead, have an optin form. Once the person fills out the optin, MY autoresponder will send the person to the sales page or any other page.
will the satellite plugin will still carry over the affiliate, or will it be broken by having to pass through the optin form? Also, can we have multiple landing pages?
