    Hi goatsocial,

    We answered your ticket already.

    External Referral Links requires non-pretty affiliate links.

    http://thecornerstoneforteachers.com/40hour/?ref=15 works as expected.

    Okay – I’ve got it working… but the only concern is the cookie doesn’t load until they click the purchase link, which brings them to the payment page.

    Is there any way to have the cookie load when they land on the landing page, as opposed to when they get to the purchase page?

    There is actually a different cookie (affwp_erl_id) that is created on the promotion page: https://cloudup.com/c9y_oZYOXbh.

    When a visitor goes to the purchase page, that cookie passes the affiliate id over to the site where AffiliateWP is installed and the cookies are created appropriately.

    The affwp_ref cookie and visit cookie cannot be created on the promotion page as the AffiliateWP plugin is not installed there.
