Plugin Is Breaking Affiliate Links (when product Slugs are the same)
-
This plugin is breaking other links on my website.
I am using the plugin Thirsty Affiliates.
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/thirstyaffiliates/If the slug for my product is the same as the slug for an affiliate link, your plugin is forcing the affiliate link to redirect to the product page on my website when someone clicks on it (instead of following the affiliate link).
For example:
my original product page is:
domain.com/product/shirts/green-happy-shirt/I use your plugin to use the product’s Category (“shirts”) in the permalink without “product” as the base.
When your plugin is installed, the above URL will change to:
domain.com/shirts/green-happy-shirt/My affiliate link is set up: “domain.com/buy/green-happy-shirt/” will redirect to “www.amazon.com/green-shirt/”
When I activate your plugin, the affiliate link is going to my product’s page in error:
The link “domain.com/buy/green-happy-shirt/” will redirect to “domain.com/shirts/green-happy-shirt/”When I deactivate your plugin, my affiliate links work correctly.
NOTE: If the affiliate link slug is different from all my product’s slugs, then the affiliate link will correctly.
Example: I don’t have a product slug “big-green-happy-shirt” on my website.
An affiliate link: “domain.com/buy/big-green-happy-shirt/” will redirect correctly.
The problem ONLY happens when I have a product slug that is the same as the affiliate link’s slug.I do not have this problem using BeRocket’s Permalink Manager For WooCommerce. This is only happening with your plugin. Please try to fix your plugin.
When I look at the other Support topics here, it looks like other users are also having problems with other affiliate link plugins when your plugin is activated.
