About AffiliateWP External Referral Links Addon 1.2

AffiliateWP External Referral Links is an add-on for AffiliateWP, the affiliate management plugin. It extends how referral links work so that affiliates can send visitors to external addresses, going by its name. It does nothing on its own: AffiliateWP must be installed and active.

The listing gives no description beyond the name, so check the documentation in the package for exactly how links are set up and tracked. The file on record is version 1.2, and it dates from June 2018. Test it with your current WordPress and AffiliateWP on a staging site first.

Requirements

AffiliateWP (the parent plugin must be installed and active)

Key features

AffiliateWP add-on: Extends the AffiliateWP referral link system.
External referral links: Named for referral links that point to external addresses.
Needs no separate dashboard: Works from within your AffiliateWP setup rather than as a standalone plugin.
Details in the package documentation: The listing doesn't state settings or limits.

Is it right for you?

A good fit for

AffiliateWP sites that need referral links pointing off-site
Programme managers testing add-ons on a staging site

Look elsewhere if

Sites without AffiliateWP, since the add-on does nothing alone
Programmes that only use standard on-site referral links

How to install AffiliateWP External Referral Links Addon 1.2

1
Download the file
Open My Account → Downloads and download the product. If the archive contains several zips (documentation, child theme, licensing files), you need the one named after the product.
2
Upload it to WordPress
In your dashboard go to Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin and choose the zip.
3
Install and activate
Click Install Now, then Activate. If an older or free copy is already installed, WordPress offers to replace it with the uploaded version.

Notes for this product

Install and activate AffiliateWP first, then add this add-on. It will not work on its own.

Setup: using AffiliateWP External Referral Links Addon 1.2

Confirm AffiliateWP works. Make sure AffiliateWP is active and referral tracking already works on a staging site.
Activate the add-on. Activate it and look for any new settings in AffiliateWP.
Read the documentation. Check how external links are configured and tracked.
Test a referral. Create a test affiliate, follow a link and confirm a visit is recorded.

Common problems and fixes

“The link you followed has expired.” when uploading

Why it happens: The zip is larger than your server's PHP upload limit (upload_max_filesize / post_max_size).
How to fix it: Raise the upload limit in your hosting control panel, or unzip the file and upload the folder to wp-content/plugins with your host's file manager or SFTP.

“The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.”

Why it happens: The uploaded zip is a bundle (or a theme), not the plugin itself.
How to fix it: Unzip the download once and upload the inner zip named after the plugin.

“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”

Why it happens: Usually a PHP version older than the plugin needs, or a second copy of the same plugin (for example the free version) still active.
How to fix it: Check your PHP version under Tools → Site Health → Info, deactivate any other copy of the plugin, and enable WP_DEBUG_LOG to see the exact error.

Licence or “updates unavailable” notices

Why it happens: The developer's licence key isn't included. Features that call the developer's servers (template libraries, cloud APIs, automatic updates) need it.
How to fix it: Everything that runs locally works without it. For a newer file, use Request an update from your account.
