A beautiful way to display products from affiliate network product feeds on your website. Currently supports Daisycon, TradeTracker and AdTraction.

Description

With the Affiliate Product Highlights plugin for WordPress you can create beautiful in-content sections showing relevant products from product feeds of various affiliate networks.

Features:

• Automatic product feed import: Product feeds are updated daily for up-to-date pricing and product availability

• Fast & efficient: Product data is stored locally, product images are sideloaded and optimized
• Flexible shortcode: Show random products, specific products, search by (partial) product name

Installation

1. Download the latest version
2. Upload the plugin through 'Plugins' > 'Add New' > 'Upload plugin' in your WordPress Dashboard
3. Add one or more affiliate product feeds through 'Affiliate Product Highlights' > 'Feeds'
4. Place the [product-highlights] shortcode wherever you want to display your affiliate products using attributes below

Supported shortcode attributes

• selection: An ID of a selection of products generated through 'Affiliate Product Highlights' > 'Selections'
• limit: The amount of products that should be displayed (default: 6)
• product_ids: Display specific product IDs. Separated by a comma, e.g. 123,323,312 (currently no easy way to get these IDs apart from going into PHPMyAdmin)
• search: Show only products containing this word or sentence in their title (may be inefficient with a lot of products in the database)
• random: Randomize the results

Examples

• [product-highlights selection=107]: Show products from the selection with ID 107
• [product-highlights selection=107 limit=1 random=1]: Show a single random product from the selection with ID 107
• [product-highlights product_ids="2304,2306,2307,665"]: Show products with specific IDs

Styling

The plugin comes with minimal styling that can be easily adjusted with some custom CSS.

• phft-products-multiple (div): Wrapper class around all products (if the limit parameter is higher than 1)
• phft-product (div): Product wrapper class
• phft-product-image (div): Product image wrapper (contains a > img)
• phft-product-description (div)
• phft-product-price (div)
• phft-button-link (a): The call-to-action button

Colors can be adjusted by overriding the default CSS variables:

• --phft-button-text-color: Button text color (default: #fff)
• --phft-button-background-color: Button background color (default: #611431)
• --phft-button-hover-color: Button hover color (default: #363636)
