   Hello Nicki,

   I trust you are doing great.

   Yes, there is a way to have that done once you have the affiliate by username plugin installed and activated.

   Here’s how to go about it.
   You could add the following shortcode to your Affiliate Area page to display the affiliate url with the username of the affiliate:
   [affiliates_by_username][affiliates_url][/affiliates_by_username]

   To make the link(url) clickable use this shortcode instead: [affiliates_by_username][affiliates_affiliate_link][/affiliates_by_username]

   Please note that to access your affiliate Area page (Affiliate Dashboard page)
   Visit the link [siteurl]/wp-admin/admin.php?page=affiliates-admin-settings&section=pages, where [siteurl] is the domain name of your site. Once there you would find the pages with affiliate shortcodes and you simply have to add the shortcode above.

   So your affiliate dashboard page when edited as an admin or an editor should look like this:
   [affiliates_dashboard]

   [affiliates_by_username][affiliates_url][/affiliates_by_username]

   [affiliates_by_username][affiliates_affiliate_link][/affiliates_by_username].

   Thanks for using our plugins. And I remain at your disposal.

   Have a very productive and awesome day.
   Kindest regards,
   Eugen.

   Hi Nicki,

   Thanks for using our plugins. And I must apologize for the delayed response.

   The affiliate by username allows you to use the username of the affiliate in place of the ID so for example:

   Assuming you have an affiliate called James and his affiliate id is 30.
   You would normally have his affiliate link as http://www.example.com/?affiliates=30

   Now with our affiliate by username plugin installed and enabled you would be able to replace the affiliate ID with the username as follows;

   http://www.example.com/?affiliates=james
   http://www.example.com/some-page/?affiliates=james

   For more info on the usage of the plugin please visit this Affiliate by username docs

   With respect to this part of your query “…also it takes me to a blank page when I try to add an affiliate” could you add more info so i can better provide you with help.

   Happy holidays,
   Warm regards,
   Eugen.
