When AffiliateWP is installed and activated, it will automatically create a new page on your WordPress site titled Affiliate Area. The Affiliate Area is where your affiliates log into their account and view their referral stats, generate affiliate links, and view their earnings.
On the Affiliate Area page, whilst existing affiliates can log in to view their statistics, potential affiliates can also register to become a new affiliate on your site. AffiliateWP includes a useful affiliate registration form so you can start recruiting affiliates immediately.
Affiliate Registration is enabled by default once AffiliateWP is activated. If you’d like to disable this functionality, you can follow the steps below:
- Navigate to AffiliateWP » Settings » Affiliates.
- The third option on the Affiliates tab is Allow affiliate registration – un-tick the checkbox next to this option:
- Click Save Changes.
Note: There is a Require Approval option that is automatically enabled in that makes all affiliate registrations be created in a Pending status until someone clicks to Approve or Reject. If this needs to be disabled you can navigate to AffiliateWP » Settings » Affiliates in order to do so.
