Affiliate Plugin in Must-Use plugin section
-
Hi!
I noticed there is this “Affiliate Plugin” shows up under the “Must-Use” plugin section, but I never installed anything that is related to affiliate before. I am not sure if the IT person that I hired before installed it without my concern (I’ve sent a message to ask but he didn’t answer back anymore), or if it is automatically installed by other plugins.
I want to remove it if it is not mandatory to have on my woocommerce site. But how to remove it? There is no deactivate button. It only says: “Files in the?/wp-content/mu-plugins?directory are executed automatically..”I am using Hostinger as my web host and found this file on File Manager –> public_html folder –> wp-content –? mu-plugins –> hostinger-affiliate-links.php. Can I delete this file? Will the Affiliate Plugin be removed then?
I want to ask your opinion first before deleting anything that might cause problems because I don’t understand this technical thing.
Thank you so much!

No, I’m sure it’s not from your developer but I think Hostinger did that! I have already checked on two sites I hosted on their servers. I think WordPress needs to take action to that bad practice.
Here’s the code I copied from one of the sites:
<?php /** * Plugin Name: Affiliate Plugin * Description: "Affiliate Plugin" serves the purpose of integrating affiliate links into the WordPress website. * Version: 1.0.3 * Text Domain: hostinger-mu-affiliates-plugin */ defined( 'ABSPATH' ) || exit; if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) { exit; } class Hostinger_MU_Affiliates { const MONSTERINSIGHTS_AFFILIATE_ID = '3107422'; const ASTRA_AFFILIATE_ID = '12425'; const WPFORMS_AFFILIATE_LINK = 'https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=834775&u=3107422&m=64312&urllink='; const AIOSEO_AFFILIATE_LINK = 'https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1491200&u=3107422&m=94778&urllink='; const HESTIA_AND_NEVE_AFFILIATE_LINK = 'https://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=642802&u=3107422&m=55096'; public function __construct() { if ( is_admin() ) { $this->define_admin_hooks(); } add_action( 'init', array( $this, 'schedule_weekly_cron_job' ) ); } public function affiliate_astra() { add_option( 'astra_partner_url_param', self::ASTRA_AFFILIATE_ID, '', 'no' ); } public function affiliate_monsterinsights( $id ) { return self::MONSTERINSIGHTS_AFFILIATE_ID; } public function wpforms_upgrade_link( $link ) { return self::WPFORMS_AFFILIATE_LINK . rawurlencode( $link ); } public function aioseo_upgrade_link( $link ) { return self::AIOSEO_AFFILIATE_LINK . rawurlencode( $link ); } public function neve_or_hestia_upgrade_link( $utmify_url, $url ) { if ( strpos( $url, 'themes/neve/upgrade' ) !== false || strpos( $url, 'themes/hestia-pro/upgrade' ) !== false ) { return self::HESTIA_AND_NEVE_AFFILIATE_LINK; } return $utmify_url; } private function define_admin_hooks() { add_filter( 'optinmonster_sas_id', array( $this, 'affiliate_monsterinsights' ) ); add_filter( 'monsterinsights_shareasale_id', array( $this, 'affiliate_monsterinsights' ) ); add_filter( 'wpforms_upgrade_link', array( $this, 'wpforms_upgrade_link' ) ); add_filter( 'aioseo_upgrade_link', array( $this, 'aioseo_upgrade_link' ) ); add_filter( 'tsdk_utmify_url_neve', array( $this, 'neve_or_hestia_upgrade_link' ), 11, 2 ); add_filter( 'tsdk_utmify_url_hestia-pro', array( $this, 'neve_or_hestia_upgrade_link' ), 11, 2 ); } public function schedule_weekly_cron_job() { if ( ! wp_next_scheduled( 'run_weekly_affiliate_astra' ) ) { wp_schedule_event( time(), 'weekly', 'run_weekly_affiliate_astra' ); } add_action( 'run_weekly_affiliate_astra', array( $this, 'run_weekly_affiliate_astra' ) ); } public function run_weekly_affiliate_astra() { if ( ! get_option( 'astra_partner_url_param' ) ) { $this->affiliate_astra(); } } } new Hostinger_MU_Affiliates();I’m sure it’s not mine! I don’t have affiliate links to those site at all!
PS: You can remove it from your cPanel or hPanel (if you’re already use their own Panel) File Manager or FTP if you have access to it.
