Hello,
I've posted affiliate links up and none of them work when I click on them?
What are they doing or not doing?
How did you put them on your site?
If you give my the url to your site, I can have a look.

My affiliate links don't work?
Hello,

Hi Carla
I took a look at one of your affiliate links - the one in the second paragraph on the word "physical"
To test it, I copied the actual shareasale url from that affiliate link into a browser window.
In the affiliate link, that's the part that comes between the two quotation marks and looks something like "https://shareasals.com..."
And it successfully opens to your product site "http://gopurely.com" - so the actual url within the affiliate link is working.
I see there are characters in the link - I know that these are related to spaces in the URL. Could you try editing your post and re-adding the actual affiliate link from the affiliate program, and republishing to see if it works?
Ok Thanks Isaiah. I'll try it again, but they told me to copy that.
Lets see if it works
So what should I copy and paste?
Just re-copy the original link from the affiliate program and re-paste it in the same spot that you had before. Then save and republish.
I usually paste my affiliate links in my original posts when I'm writing them through "Site Content". And when I'm done, I save and click publish in Site Content.
But sometimes, I may click on the "Edit in WordPress" link that comes up after publishing, just to see how things look. And sometimes I'll notice that my links look different here than when I originally pasted them. And I usually have to clean them up and republish. I don't know if that's something that's related to the theme, or word press. But I usually just recopy the original link and republish it, and it works as it should.
