    Recently the Affiliate home page is using the page_id for the register url…

    “This is the affiliates section of this store. You are not currently an affiliate of this store. If you wish to become one, please apply.”

    The APPLY link should be…
    /affiliate-home/affiliate-register/

    but it’s …
    /?page_id=1234

    I have tried resetting Permalinks but it did nothing.

    Hi, please check the following documentation to make sure all your pages are correct. If they are correct, make sure the URL address in your /affiliate-register/ page is correct and not set to draft mode.

    Let me know how you go.

    Thank you

    Thanks. Yes, all of the pages are setup correctly from the install.

    On the affiliate home page /affiliate-home/ when *not* logged in the links to login and register are correct, but on that same page when logged in the link to the register page is ?page_id=1234

    Hi, it is very strange that all of a sudden the URL changed in your site. Did you update one of your plugins or theme? Are you using a cache plugin?

    Kind regards

    Actually, I only noticed the link was in ?page_id=1234 format because it was being blocked by a Cloudflare firewall rule (we had a recent HTTP GET attack). Now that I have modified the firewall rule the ?page_id= url redirects to the /affiliate-home/affiliate-register/ url

    So, now that I see the link eventually leads to the registration page I can’t recall if it was always in the ?page_id= format or the Permalink format.

    One thing if for certain. I just installed this plugin on 5 sites and they all have this same ?page_id= url on the /affiliate-home/ page when logged in.

    Hi,

    Please check the following documentation. This might help you understand how the plugin links a URL.

    Hey thanks for the info, but I am not referring to the landing page. The page I am referring to is the affiliates home page: /affiliate-home/

    This plugin generated content…

    “This is the affiliates section of this store. You are not currently an affiliate of this store. If you wish to become one, please apply.”

    Hi, thank you for clarifying further what you meant. That is correct, the link in /affiliate-home/ page is pointing to the registration page using the following entry ?page_id=.

    Kind regards

    @webfrontend, You can customize the content of the affiliate homepage in the settings. This will let you update the page URL as well.
