Apprique

The plugin re-enables the Link Manager in WordPress and provides the shortcode ‘links’. This shortcode displays a list of all links having specified characteristics, for example a link category name in your post. By default it includes a Facebook Like button for every link, but this can be easily disabled.
The plugin supports a customizable template for showing links. This enables you to use the shortcode to display links in any format you like, for example in a list or a table, with or without link images, etc. All relevant properties of a link are supported and listed on the Settings page of the plugin.
The typical format for the short code is
<blockquote>
[links option1=”x” option2=”y” etc…]
</blockquote>
The following options are available:
<ul>
<li>fblike: Show the facebook Like button (default ‘1’, to disable set to any value other than ‘1’).</li>
<li>fbrecommend: Show the Facebook Recommend botton (default ”, to enable set to ‘1’).</li>
<li>orderby: Order the links by (default ‘name’). Use ‘order’ to order links by order specified with ‘My Link Order’ plugin.</li>
<li>order: How to order, ASC or DESC (default ‘DESC’).</li>
<li>limit: Limit the number of links shown (default ‘-1’, which means no limit). </li>
<li>category: Comma separated list of link category ID’s.</li>
<li>category_name: Category name of a catgeory of links to show. Overrides category parameter.</li>
<li>hide_invisible: Hide links marked as not visible (default ‘1’, yes).</li>
<li>include: Comma separated list of numeric link IDs to include. If ‘include’ is used, the category, category_name, and exclude parameters are ignored. </li>
<li>exclude: Comma separated list of numeric link IDs to exclude.</li>
<li>search: Shows all links matching this search string. It searches url, link name and link description.</li>
<li>links_per_page: To paginate lists of links. How many links to show per page. Below the links a pagination will be shown.</li>
<li>links_list_id: A unique identifyer on a page for the shortcode at hand. Mandatory in case ‘links_per_page’ is used to paginate. Optional to define custom styles for this id using css. </li>
<li>class: A class that can be inserted using the links template. You could for example use <div class=”[class]”> in the template to attache different style to different instances of the short code.</li>
<li>alttext: An alternative text that will be displayed if the shortcode does not return any links.</li>
</ul>
Dafault options can be changed on a ‘Links Shortcode’ page in the Settings menu.
Example:
<blockquote>
[links category_name=”Blogroll”]
</blockquote>
Using the customizable template, all properties of a link can be displayed. An example template is included. This template uses the Name, Web Address, Description and Rating of your links. The Name will link to the Web Address.
If the Name starts with a date, formatted as: yyyy-mm-dd followed by ‘:’, a separate property for the date is available.
Templates are fully customizable. For more information see http://www.apprique.com/community/wordpress-plugins.
Please note that the Description of a link has a limited length, but the WordPress UI does not show this. After saving changes to a Link in the Links section, WordPress only saves the first 255 characters. This has nothing to do with this Plugin.

<h3>THIRSTYAFFILIATES 💥</h3>
ThirstyAffiliates gives bloggers the tools they need to monetize their WordPress website with affiliate marketing.
We’ve made managing your affiliate links as simple as it should be:
<ol>
<li>Install & activate the ThirstyAffiliates plugin</li>
<li>Go to Affiliate Links -> Add New</li>
<li>Enter the destination URL (your affiliate link) and a title</li>
<li>The plugin creates a new shortlink/link redirect to your long ugly affiliate link by making a pretty link with your own website URL</li>
<li>You can then use the new “TA” button in your editor to add your affiliate link to your content easily</li>
</ol>
eg. http://example.com/recommends/some-product
<h3>Features ✔️</h3>
💡 SIMPLE 
No complex setups. It’s just another post type in your admin and another button on your Visual editor.
When you are writing blog posts, you can highlight a word and click the “TA” button. This works just like the built-in link tool, you can search for the affiliate link you created earlier by name.
You can even use the Quick Add button to add affiliate links to ThirstyAffiliates on the fly while you are writing.
🔗 BUILT-IN AFFILIATE LINK SHORTNER/LINK CLOAKER 
Create pretty links from the affiliate links you’ve placed on the site. ThirstyAffiliates will use a /recommends/ prefix by default for your pretty links, but this can be easily changed to match your preferences.
**💰 SEAMLESS STRIPE SALES*** 
Create a branded, one-click path to payment with NEW ThirstyPay™ Links. Share your link and start selling anywhere – instantly.
⚙️ BETTER LINK MANAGEMENT 
You can group your affiliate links into hierarchical categories. eg. placing all Amazon links within an “Amazon” category, or all software links in a “Software” category.
Managing your links in ThirstyAffiliates means there is only one place to change the destination URL if required rather than having to go back and replace the link in potentially hundreds of articles.
🔃 SAFE REDIRECTS & SMART UNCLOAKING 
You can choose from 301 (default), 302, or 307 redirects, all of which are safe link redirects.
Link redirects protect your affiliate links from being scraped and replaced by malware in your visitor’s browser.
There is also a smart uncloaking feature so if the affiliate program you are using (such as Amazon Associates) does not like your links behind a redirect, you can still use ThirstyAffiliates. Your links can be conditionally uncloaked on the front end.
🛡️ NO LINK CLASHES OR DATABASE BLOAT 
Uses proper custom post types to avoid link clashes that can occur with other solutions.
Keeps its database footprint small to ensure you don’t over bloat your database with useless information.
🖼️ ADD IMAGES TO AFFILIATE LINKS 
You can even add images and banners to your affiliate links and recall them for easy insertion when writing your content.
Simply click the new “TA” affiliate link button on your editor, click the cog to open the Advanced Link Picker, and search & choose the image you want to insert and it will be inserted pre-wrapped in your affiliate link.
📊 CLICK STATISTICS & REPORTS 
Adds click tracking to your links to track every click.
Comes with built-in reports so you can explore, over time, how much your affiliate links have been clicked and what is popular on your site.
… and so much more! Visit <a href="https://thirstyaffiliates.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">our site</a> to learn more about what ThirstyAffiliates can do for you.
* Pro users benefit from no added payment processing fees, while a small 3% fee is added per-transaction for free users.

ThirstyAffiliates – Affiliate Links, Link Branding, Link Tracking & Marketing Plugin


This plugin serves its purpose. There are problems here and there with the layout in the backend or with occasional error messages in the old WP editor (on the pages of other plugins). There are also a lot of functions that are only relevant in the American market. Maybe as a pure affiliate helper in the Europe/Germany area it could be a bit “oversized”. Nevertheless, it does what it is supposed to and is a good solution.


3.11.0 sucks


Bought lifetime license and the license stopped working and they told me to purchase again even though I have my ticket and license keys.


Lifetime license is not lifetime, they will charge you again!
