AffiliateWP Custom Affiliate Slugs Addon
AffiliateWP provides many different variations of affiliate URLs that you can use simultaneously. AffiliateWP Custom Affiliate Slugs takes this one step further, allowing affiliates to create their own custom slug. A slug is the part of the referral URL where the username or affiliate ID would normally be.
For example, if an affiliate's username is john and they have an affiliate ID of 123, they will be familiar with using any of these referral URLs:
'http://yoursite.com/?ref=john'
'http://yoursite.com/?ref=123'
'http://yoursite.com/ref/john'
'http://yoursite.com/ref/123'
With a custom slug from mycustomslug123, the affiliate can now use any of these referral URLs in addition to the variations above:
'http://yoursite.com/?ref=mycustomslug123'
'http://yoursite.com/ref/mycustomslug123'
Custom affiliate slugs can be more personal, more relevant to the affiliate's business name, more relevant to the affiliate's marketing efforts, or completely random. Or, if your affiliate has a WordPress username on their site that you'd like to keep private, you can set up a new custom bar that you can use professionally for your affiliate links.
In addition, the Automatically create custom slugs option can be enabled. When enabled, a custom slug will be generated for your affiliates when:
- An affiliate registers through the affiliate registration form
- The Automatic registration of new users option is enabled from Affiliates → Settings → Miscellaneous and a user is automatically registered as an affiliate.
- An affiliate is manually added via the Affiliates → Affiliates → Add New screen
The generated slug is based on the rules defined in the plugin configuration.
Using AffiliateWP Custom Affiliate Slugs as an affiliate
Affiliates can set their custom slug from the "Settings" tab in the Affiliate Area. They can also remove their custom slug entirely or change it at any time.
Using AffiliateWP Custom Affiliate Slugs as a site administrator
With AffiliateWP Custom Affiliate Slugs, site admins can enable custom slugs for all affiliates, or just some. An affiliate's custom slug can also be changed or removed from the "Edit Affiliate" admin page. When adding a new affiliate, the custom bar can be optionally configured. When exporting a list of your affiliates, a new "custom slug" column will display the current custom slug for each affiliate.
If your Default Referral Format is set to ID or Username, you can enable the Show Custom Slug option in the Custom Affiliate Slug settings, and the affiliate's custom slug (if they have one) will be displayed in the Affiliate URLs tab of the Affiliate. Affiliate Area next to the affiliate ID or username so they can still use their ID or username.
When you install and activate AffiliateWP Custom Affiliate Slugs, a new Custom Affiliate Slug option will also appear in the Default Referral Format selection menu under the Affiliates → Settings → General tab. This allows you to show an affiliate your referral URL with your custom slug, instead of the ID or username. The affiliate will also be able to generate a referral URL using the URL generator with their custom slug (their ID or username will not be visible).
