Adding Affiliate Links
After you have set up all major features of TA, adding links becomes much easier to do. You can do this by going to Affiliate Links -> Settings and begin the plugin configuration.
After you are done with the configuration, you will need to save all changes. There are two available options for adding affiliate links:
The first is going to Affiliate Links -> Add New and cloak your affiliate link.
The other option can be done by adding the affiliate link directly from the post editor section. This option is by far the easiest and most convenient for adding your link.
Do this by clicking on “Add New Post”, from which you see an icon to choose from. Cloak a new link or add a cloaked affiliate link.
