I just figured out that the version I downloaded today (from automatic update request) is 5.0.0, which is the same version I already had! OOPS. Next time I will know to check the version number before updating…

In the meantime, I am about to request a Manual Update to see if I can get the version with this feature added. Thank you!

I just did the “Automatic Update/Fresh Download Link Request” and upgraded my plug-in. I went to “Manage Affiliates,” clicked “Edit” on one of my affiliate profiles, and I do not see the field for overriding the 2nd Tier Commission. How can I get a hold of the version that has this update? Thank you!

[Janelle]

Excellent! Thank you!

[Janelle]

This is a feature that I would like to use also!

[Janelle]

Great! Thanks for alerting me to the 2nd php file that required updating. That did the trick!

[Janelle]

Thank you,

That is a pretty good idea. My only concern is that the Index Page Message only shows up if the Affiliate is not logged in. I’d like to be able to offer resources to Affiliates who are currently logged in and may be confused or want some hand-holding. I’m considering doing what you said above, and in addition putting the link (to the WordPress page “Affiliate Resources”) on the Contact Form page — so that if they are about to message me with a question, perhaps they will check the Resources page first.

Thanks again for your quick response.

Hello

Thought it might be helpful for others to share what I did:

I did not like the field labeled “Bank Account Details” showing up on my Affiliates Edit Profile page, since I do not want to collect their bank information, nor do I even want to give them the idea that it’s something I may want. So instead of removing the field from the page, I just renamed it to something innocuous — in my case, “Notes to Self.”

Open the file “wp-affiliate-platform/affiliates/lang/eng.php” and search for the following line:

define('AFF_BANK_ACCOUNT_DETAILS', "Bank Account Details");

Update the second part of that line only: “Bank Account Details” to whatever text you want instead. Be sure to keep the quotation marks intact.

I hope this helps!

PS. The reason I named it “Notes to Self” is because the admin (me) will not get an email every time an affiliate updates their profile. I didn’t want it to be labeled just “Notes” in case they get the false impression that these notes would find their way to me automatically.

Hello!

I’m glad I was able to find this answer, although it is not what I was hoping to hear.

I would love to be able to add a tab/page for my Affiliates titled “Getting Started” or “Help” or “Resources” — because some people are not familiar with the basic steps they should take to be a successful affiliate. I am sure I can devise a work-around to be able to support my affiliates in the meantime — but if this functionality is ever added to the plugin please let me know!

Thank you,

Janelle

(I had originally searched for “How to Add a Tab to the Affiliate View Area” but couldn’t find anything. I thought that adding my reply here may help other people find this answer sooner, if they are using the same keywords I did.)
