How to change the affiliate login URL back + other issues with plugin.

[Taika]

Hi,

I created a page in WP for affilite login (www.mydomain.com/affiliates)

Otherwise it worked except I got the error when affiliates resigters that says something like “you need to provide atleast one recepeint email address”, also affilites does not get signed up to my affiliate email list (I have integrated aweber with this) but does registers on affiliate platform database and gets the email defined in Affiliate Signup Email settings

There was no such issues until I changed the affiliate sign up from defaul URL to http://www.mydomain.com/affiliate. I tried to change the url back to default by the problem ramained.

So later on I gave up and changed URL back to wwww.mydomain.com/affiliates

since affiliates can sign up, altought they will see the “you need to provide atleast one recepeint email address”, message and below that “sign up complete” (or somthing like that indicates “successfull” sign up), and I have to try and manually add them to my affiiate list on Aweber.

Another issue is the following; I tried to solve the problem once again by using URL redirection method described here: http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-affiliate/how-to-changecustomize-the-url-of-the-affiliate-view-42

Did not work. So I deleted the new affiliate directory (eg. http://www.your-domain-name.com/affiliates), and changed everything back to previous settings. Now if I click affiliate link on my website http://www.mydomain.com/affiliates it STILL redirects me back to longer url.

Im confused….thanks for help

Hi Taika,

The best and easiest way to do this is to create a page called “Affiliates” in wordpress.

Then in that page put the shortcode:

[wp_affiliate_view]

Then take note of your permalink for this page, eg, http://www.yourdomain.com/affiliates

Then in your Affiliates settings you should have the above url in the “Affiliate Login URL” field.

ps: I forgot to add – Have you tried looking at your page with another browser? It could be that your current browser is caching the last url
