WishList Member WordPress Plugin and Idev Affiliate
By
Wishlist Member is a great premium WordPress for creating a membership site with WordPress. In fact it would be at the top of my list of recommendations for anyone looking for a membership plug in for WordPress.
However, this last week I have been trying to help a client integrate IDEV Affiliate into a WordPress Blog with the WordPress member plug in ‘Wish List’. The two programs are not compatible which is disappointing since IDev afiliate is the only Affiliate script for merchants that I recommend. The Wish List Member plugin for Word Press is hands down one of the best WordPress member plugins.
Wish List has released a beta version of a Idev affiliate plugin so they have been trying to find a solution. Though I spent four hours yesterday trying to get it working to no avail.
This blog post is not a complaint, I still think both the IDev affiliate script and the WishList Member WordPress plugin are great tools for any ecommerce entrepreneur and highly recommend them individually.
I just wanted to post this to help others researching either the WishList WordPress Member plugin or the Idev affiliate software to be sure they clarify with both companies before purchase if a solution has been developed.
I would also suggest asking WishList WordPress member plugin for a list of Affiliate scripts and WordPress Eccomerce plugins that they can verify do work with WishList Member before making their purchase.
Here is a list of potential WordPress plugins that may not work with WishList Member:
WordPress Plugin: Search Reloaded
WordPress Plugin: WordPress SEO Master
WordPress Plugin: User Access Manager
WordPress Plugin: Gravity Forms
WordPress Plugin: Permalink Redirect
Gravity Forms does work with Wishlist Member.
Hi
Did you come up with an answer to this?
The guys at WLM were pretty confident that their plugin for Idev worked, though they did not have documentation at the time.
I have just bought X5 licenses to work across our sites, all powered by WLM, plus developer costs.
I think part of the issue was the shopping cart being used – PayPal standard buttons …. I dev may work with WLM using their plugin and a different cart- or they may have updated since we tried ….. good luck ! Let me know how it works !
I’ve been a fan of this site for awhile. Never posted until now! =). We should become partners. We have a lot in common.
