原文外掛簡介
Affiliate URLs can get long, messy, and hard to manage — especially once they’re embedded across pages, posts, emails, and ads.
Kitgenix Affiliate Link Manager gives you a simple, central place to create and manage short affiliate links, and redirect visitors using a clean URL format:
/go/{slug} (prefix configurable)
It’s designed to be lightweight and practical:
– Create links with a Name, Slug and Destination URL
– Organise larger libraries with link groups, tags, campaign views, and campaign notes
– Schedule start and expiry windows, send inactive traffic to a fallback URL, and rotate between multiple live destinations
– Run automated destination health checks that flag broken offers, merchant-side 404s, and redirecting destinations inside the dashboard
– Track daily click timelines plus source, referrer, and placement attribution so reports show which links and placements perform best
– Manage links through a REST API and WP-CLI commands for create, update, disable, import, and export workflows
– Configure the redirect prefix (default: go)
– Choose redirect status: 307, 302 or 301
– Track click counts per link
– No third-party redirect/short-link service (redirects happen on your site)
Features
Search links by name, slug, or destination URL from the main Links tab.
Organise links with one primary group, multi-tag labels, reusable campaign views, and campaign notes.
Schedule links with start/end dates, fallback URLs, and sequential or random destination rotation.
Run hourly health checks against primary, fallback, and rotated destinations, then show dashboard alerts when destinations fail or start redirecting.
Show a global analytics snapshot plus per-link 14-day timelines, top sources, top referrers, and top placements inside the Links tab.
Filter large link libraries by group or tag without leaving the main Links tab.
Use a protected REST API for listing, creating, updating, disabling, importing, and exporting links outside wp-admin.
Use WP-CLI commands for scripted link creation, updates, disable/enable actions, and JSON/CSV import-export workflows.
Paginate and sort large link libraries by Name, Slug, and Clicks.
Duplicate links, reset click counts, bulk delete links, and export selected links to CSV including campaign, schedule, rotation, health, and analytics data.
Copy generated short URLs with one click.
Temporarily disable a link without deleting it.
Choose a per-link rel value: nofollow, sponsored, or nofollow sponsored.
Tune how many links appear per page (10-200).
Get warnings when your chosen prefix may conflict with WordPress core URLs or an existing page slug.
Benefit from atomic click counting and object-cache-friendly slug lookups on busy sites.
Use the plugin safely on multisite installs with multisite-aware activation, deactivation, and uninstall routines.
SEO note: you can choose a per-link rel value (nofollow / sponsored / both). When placing your short URL into content, use sponsored/nofollow to follow search engine guidelines for affiliate links.
Notes
This plugin stores links in a private custom post type and performs redirects via WordPress rewrite rules.
If short URLs do not start working immediately after you change the redirect prefix, re-save Permalinks (Settings → Permalinks) so WordPress refreshes rewrite rules.
Quick Start
Install and activate the plugin.
Go to Kitgenix → Affiliate Links.
Add a link (Name + Destination URL + optional custom slug, schedule window, fallback URL, rotation rules, group, tags, and campaign note).
Copy the generated short URL and use it anywhere.
Use search, campaign views, analytics snapshots, group/tag filters, health alerts, sorting, pagination, or CSV export as your link library grows.
Automation tip: use the REST API or WP-CLI when you want to manage affiliate links in deployment scripts, migrations, or headless workflows.

External Services
This plugin includes a shared “Kitgenix hub” component in wp-admin which may fetch publicly available plugin metadata from WordPress.org using WordPress core’s plugins_api() function.
Caching:
– Transient: kitgenix_hub_wporg_active_installs_v1
– Transient: kitgenix_hub_wporg_ratings_v1
