 How to Use ShareASale to Track New Leads in WP-Members You can track membership requests in WP-Members with ShareASale, treating each new membership signup as a 1.00 transaction.  It's very easy using WP-members registration post data array upon signup.  The first thing to do is to add the header code in your theme's header.php file. That's easy enough. Finally, add the tracking img code into:  class-wp-members-shortcodes.php.  This will activate if you are using shortcodes to signup new members.  Example:  [wpmem_form register]   will show the registration form on your pages.   Finally, you must add the tracking img code into your successful signup page. WP-members will drop into this page  class-wp-members-shortcodes.php in this logic block starting with case in_array( 'register', $atts ):  The key to all of this working is to find the lead-id from  $wpmem->user->post_data['display_name'] and use it as the...

The Easy Way Open wp-config.php with an editor such as VIM. Change these lines: Change the http to https to force https mode. The Hard Way - Dump The Tables Dump the Tables The dump Files Using VIM to edit Use this VIM command ...
