I am struggling to get the “Points for referral” hook working.

I am using myCRED 1.6.6 and whenever we click on the referral
link, it leads to a “page not found” page.

Dont know what I am doing wrong. Ideally, it should lead to a
landing page or the register page so that the invited user could
register to the site.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Check under “Developers” tab. https://wordpress.org/plugins/mycred/developers/

Please remember that this referral tutorial will not work with myCRED 1.6 or higher as based on this tutorial I actually built a referral system and included it into myCRED.

I’m definitely interested in using this system for a new project, but to be honest, with a lot of other things I have to do, I need to be able to ascertain if this can be done easily or not.

thanks.

Or can you update it?

Yeah this will not work if you are using myCRED 1.6 or higher. This tutorial was meant for users who are still on myCRED 1.3 or lower. In 1.4, the Points for referral hook was introduced which you should be using instead.

I tried it by itself and together and it doesn’t work. When I add both together my site stops working. When I add just the script for the affiliate link my website works but its not displaying the link on my edit profile page. Can you please help me with this?

This is awesome!! Thank you for creating that detection script. It works great for me. I was just curious though if I still wanted the user to have the option to provide the link as well do I just add all the original script that you created for awarding link clicks? I just wanna know if they will both work together. Thanks!

Clint,

There are several ways this could be done. If you post your question in the support forum I can offer some code examples. The comment section unfortunately does not handle code well.

For example:

Person A refers Person B to the site and Person B uses the referral code provided by Person A. Can I make it so Person A only get points once Person B reaches a number of points on the website? I want to prevent people from gaming.

Thanks. I hope this makes sense. If not I can rephrase the question. 🙂
