?All review data—including criteria, and average rating—is saved as post meta, so importing will need to be done manually.

Arent’ these saved as entries in the MySQL database? If yes what’s the database name? So I can export and import them from there?

When you write “import manually” you mean through the MySQL database?

Second question, I want to mass import 1000 affiliate reviews, is there any way I can do this through MySQL database or some other way? If yes, can you show me how a sample .csv should look like?

The only fields I am interested is:

– table name (to distinguish from the others),
– 3 criterias with stars rating,
– avg rating.

I have been playing around with the plugin, and I see I can have an “inline” form, which means payment happens on the website, I suppose this is just using iframes and the payment is actually happening on Stripe but it seems like it’s on my site.

Is there a way to create a common cart/checkout page and to add a product image to the checkout?

Also, does the free version come with some hidden fees in the payment?

Hi, ok thanks.

I thought I can just install woocommerce which is free, create a product there and then use your plugin’s free version. Would that work but with woopayments or with stripe for woocommerce?

Is there a way to do some testing, where I register an affiliate account as a test, make a sale as a test, etc? just to make sure everything runs smoothly enough?

Thanks John, I don’t have any caching plugin on the site, but now I checked this with Command Line, and it shows the no-index.

Is there a php code you can give me to put in my functions php to hardcode these no-indexes for the redirections?

I would feel safer with that, so if the plugin fails me at some update, I won’t have 2000 thin URLs indexed in google.

I think we’re looking at something similar to this?

function ta_add_noindex_headers() {
header( 'X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow' );
}
add_action( 'ta_before_link_redirect' , 'ta_add_noindex_headers' );

I copy pasted the above from a similar redirection plugin support page, but I wouldn’t know how to adapt it for your plugin.

I added the no-index x-tag following the instructions:

How can I verify that the no-index tag is working correctly? Here it seems it’s not working:

Thank you!

Hey Tobias,

no problem, can you suggest me what would be the easiest way to achieve this? I just want a simple table (like 1 column with 100 rows) and an upvote button on the right.

I searched plugins and other but couldn’t find any solution, since you probably eat and drink tables for breakfast maybe you can suggest me some option? ??

Thanks John,

Basically if I choose “site”, your plugin will apply no-index to the whole site? That is like a nuclear bomb, I think that option should be removed for safety.

If I select “redirect” it will apply no-index only to the redirects created using your plugin or also to other redirects I created in htaccess in the past?

Hi John,

but how do I set all these new “pages” website.com/go/product from being indexed. Is there a way to add a no-index meta tag to all of them like some affiliate plugins do?

Hi,

Thank you! I cannot believe I missed that.

But as I was looking around my exported csv I also noticed some other random empty columns:

https://prnt.sc/zv_uuIWZYIGQ

what are these? and I do I get rid of them (all columns are empty for all comments)

update: I think the stars plugin stores the stars reviews in the wpcommentsmeta table. Any way I can integrate this in my bulk upload?

Also, second question, I would like to give a “Author” permission to upload csv files with comments. How can I do that?

I don’t want to give him full “admin” permissions, just the ability to upload these .csv files.

If it’s not based on real directories, if then I place a

disallow: /go/

will that prevent google from crawling all affiliate links like:

/go/1
/go/2
/go/3

Etc?

I thought this would only work if there was an actual directory named /go/

Hey John thanks for the quick reply!

So you’re saying I don’t need to create a /go/ subfolder, I can just add /go/ to the link every time, so for example:

Source URL: /go/product
Target URL: product.com

Even if mysite.com/go/ doesn’t exist?

Hi,

I could be interested depending on the price. Could you tell me more?
