FAQ
-
A: In situation like this you should check your PapApi.class.php file in your PostAffiliatePro plugin directory.
In most of the cases, this file was missing after update and that caused plugin malfunction.
Without PapApi.class.php file plugin can not operate correctly and because of that it disables itself to prevent
damaging the main pages with error or warning messages etc. -

For more info check out this page -
Can Post Affiliate Pro user use same password as in WordPress?
-
No. This is not possible at the moment. Passwords will be always different.
-
How can I use affiliate shortcode?
-
Here are few examples of usage:
[affiliate item=“name“/] – prints name of currently loaded affiliate.
[affiliate item=“loginurl“/] – prints a button „Affiliate panel“ that affiliate can use to log into their panel
[affiliate item=“loginurl“ caption=“Log me in!“ class=“some-special-class“/] – this way you can set a caption and a CSS class for the login button
[affiliate item=“loginurl_raw“/] – prints an HTML link, you can also define caption and class the same way you can do it with ‘loginurl’
[affiliate item=“OTHER_ATTRIBUTES“/] – prints other affiliate attributes. OTHER_ATTRIBUTES can be one of these items:
- userid – ID of user
- refid – user referral ID
- rstatus – user status
- minimumpayout – amount of the minimum payout for user
- payoutoptionid – ID of the payout option used by user
- note – user note
- photo – URL of user image
- username – username
- rpassword – user passwrod
- firstname – user first name
- lastname – user last name
- parentuserid – ID od parent user
- ip – user signup IP address
- notificationemail – user notification email
- data1 to data25 – user data fields
example of getting user notification email:
[affiliate item=“notificationemail“]
It is possible to use a shortcode for affiliate commission balance. The syntax is:
[affiliate item=“unpaidCommissions“ timeframe=“week“/] – prints last week’s commission balance for the currently logged affiliate
You can get the same values of affiliate parent, instead of ‘affiliate’ shortcode call ‘parent’ and then the needed item. E.g. for parent name call this:
[parent item=“name“/] -
Is it possible to integrate this plugin with s2Member?
-
Yes it is. But keep in mind you should not use any mandatory fields in Post Affiliate Pro signup.
You have to use optional fields only. -
Is it possible to integrate this plugin with MagicMembers?
-
Yes it is. But this feature is just experimental at this time.
-
How to use the TopAffiliates widget?
-
If you want to publicly display affiliate statistics in your WordPress, simply navigate to Appearance> Widgets section and add the Top Affiliates widget. When added, you can configure how many affiliates should be included in the result, set which value to use for ordering and you can also define the template of the result.
You can use these variables:
{$firstname}
{$lastname}
{$userid}
{$parentuserid}
