The download script is a little bit dependent on the server configuration. So I actually have a few different variations of it. I tried to include the one that works on most servers. When someone notifies me of a problem on their server I investigate and do the tweak.
Thank you for your version of the script… I have saved a copy of it in case someone needs it in the future.
I take it that your issue is resolved?
“I now get a block with a red x in it and no photo at all.” – when you see this it means the image URL is wrong (maybe there is a typo). The easiest way to find out is to copy and paste the Image URL that you are using as the thumbnail in the browsers address bar. If you see a 404 (Page not found) error then you have proved this theory
How do you fix it? check the URL and see where you made a mistake
If you are using the “WP-ecommerce” plugin by instinct then all you need is to follow the instructions at the following URL:
There are a few 3rd party carts that I have worked with and know how to integrate the affiliate plugin with them.
In theory all carts should be able to integrate as long as you know how it works and can modify the code to put in the integration code. The following page will give you a good general understand of what is involved in such an integration:
This option is now available in WP eStore. Check out this article:
It’s not a bug.. it’s a limitation. The commission is deleted based on the “Unique Transaction ID” (if you want to delete a record from a database you need to identify it first with some unique key).
Previously this commission deletion feature wasn’t there so the manual checkout didn’t enforce “Unique Transaction ID” option. If you use the updated version of eStore it will automatically create a “Unique ID” for every sale.
So going forward you will be able to use the delete commission option for new sales but not for existing ones.
I will send you an updated version of the eStore so you get this option (Also I added the option to specify a special offer in the “Discount/Coupons” menu that gets displayed on the “Thank You” page with the transaction result.
When you created the list in MailChimp you had to give it a name for that list. Use that name in the field called “MailChimp List Name”
For each membership level you can specify what the members of this level and or cannot access. This approach allows a greater degree of customization option in terms of content protection.
Say for example you have two membership levels
1) Level A
2) Level B
You want the members of “Level A” to have access to posts 1,2 and 3. You want the members of “Level B” to have access to posts 1,2,3,4 and 5.
Now all you have to do is choose “Level A” from the Manage content protection menu and give access to posts 1,2,3. Then choose “Level B” and give access to posts 1,2,3,4 and 5.
Now with your script you can upgrade a member with “Membership Level A” to “Level B” and suddenly he/she will have access to posts 4 and 5 in addition to posts 1,2 and 3. Let me know if this makes sense.
If you are good with Javascript and PHP then it souldn’t be that hard to implement. You could probably see an example of how it is done in the WP eStore plugin:
By default shortcodes only work on wordpress posts or pages. You can find the corresponding PHP function for a shortcode and use that in the sidebar. All the shortcodes for the eStore plugin can be found at the following URL:
@sharris203, Thanks for sharing the link.
If you set it to 0 it shows as a $0 sale (a sale that didn’t generate any commission meaning you do not award commission for that particular product). You could make it so it doesn’t even show up for a $0 commission but it is best to be transparent with the affiliates. Let them know that there was a coneversion/sale that happened from their referral but it just didn’t generate any commision due to the fact that you do not give commission for that product.
Sometimes affiliates will send their friend to buy something and if they see nothing in the stats after the sale they will just drop your affiliate program without asking you anything because they think you are cheating.
“How do I set one-time commission for a recurring subscription?” – I will add this feature rather than giving you manual tweaks. should be able to add it in over the weekend.
By the way I have added the commission deletion option from the “Sales Menu”. I will send you and update.
You should be able to achieve this using the WP eMember and WP eStore plugins. Yes, you can do this using “Buy Now” buttons. On each membership level you can specify the “Subscription Duration” to 30 days or so and the customers membership will expire after that time.
How you design it is entirely upto you but you could do the following:
1) Create 4 pages with the 4 videos embedded.
2) Create 5 membership levels. The first 4 membership levels are for each video page the 5th one is like the all access pass so membership with this level can see the content of all those 4 pages.
3) Protect the video pages accord to the membership levels.
4) Create 5 “Buy Now” buttons and hook it to the appropriate membership levels.
Now when someone makes a purchase they will have access to see the content of the page that you have specified in that membership level.
The following page has a typical membership registration flow that might help you understand the registration process:

You can’t execute PHP code directly from WordPress post or page unless you are using a PHP executable plugin. This is why most plugins create shortcode that you can put on your wordpress page or post. Creating a shortcode is not very difficult… all it does is looks for that text and call the specified function and replaces the text with the output from that function.
Given that the other plugin won’t add a shortcode you could try installing a PHP executable plugin then place the following line in HTML view of your page:
<?php s2class::user_menu(); ?>
That might do the trick. Please note that you have to do this on your own.. it is beyond my capability to provide support for a plugin that i didn’t develop.
If you use a WordPress forum plugin then eMember should work with it. I personally prefer BBPress. If you are using the BBPress plugin then then eMember will work with that too.
