User signup for affiliate program

Where do potential customers go to sign up for our affiliate program? I installed the dashboard and plugin but don’t see instructions on where to direct users.

    hiya

    have you read the usage guide here https://wpmudev.com/project/wordpress-mu-affiliate/#usage

    you need to create a page for affiliates

    then use the following shortcodes

    Shortcodes

    Besides full access to the Affiliates Plugin features in the Admin Panel, you can use any of the following shortcodes within your posts or pages to provide front-end access as well.

    [affiliatelogincheck] – place this at the top of the page that you are planning on using the rest of the shortcodes on and it will display a login message if the user isn’t logged in.

    [affiliateuserdetails] – mirrors the affiliate details form from the admin area (yellow box)

    [affiliatestatstable] – mirrors the large click statistics table

    [affiliatevisitstable] – mirrors the referrers this month table

    [affiliatetopvisitstable] – mirrors the top referrers table

    [affiliatestatschart] – mirrors the main statistics charts

    [affiliatevisitschart] – mirrors the referrers charts

    [affiliatebanners] – displays the banners you add to your affiliate settings

    If the user isn’t logged in then none of the shortcodes will output anything (except for the top one).

    so basicly, create a page called affiliates

    then add the above shortcodes.

    then a link to that page on your menu or site somewhere, and when users visit the page, they will see the sign up details. once they are affiliated, and logged in, then visiting that page will display their stats (providing you added those shortcodes to the page)

    hope this helps.

    Instructions were missing the obvious first step:

    1. Enable user registration

    I had mine turned off. Now it makes more sense, but this should be spelled out for clarity.

    I wasn’t confused on how to setup a shortcode page, I was confused on where the user would start. Thanks for your response though, it’s a helpful reference.
