AffiliateWP Info Features for WordPress Users
Comprehensive Shortcode System
AffiliateWP Info provides 9 powerful shortcodes that let you display various affiliate details including display name, website URL, email address, Gravatar image, WordPress username, biographical info, and social media profiles. These shortcodes can be used anywhere on your WordPress site – posts, pages, widgets, or custom templates – giving you complete flexibility in how you present affiliate information to your visitors.
Conditional Content Display
The plugin includes wrapper shortcodes [affiliate_info_referred] and [affiliate_info_not_referred] that allow you to show content conditionally based on whether an affiliate is being tracked. This means you can create personalized messages for referred visitors while providing fallback content for regular traffic, ensuring a seamless experience for all users regardless of how they arrive at your site.
Social Media Integration
When combined with Yoast SEO plugin, AffiliateWP Info can display affiliate social media profiles including Twitter username, Facebook URL, and Google+ URL. This integration allows affiliates to leverage their social presence and helps visitors connect with affiliates through their preferred channels, enhancing the personal connection and potentially increasing conversion rates.
