Operate with confidence

Use these checks when moving from initial setup to a production WordPress site.

Sync and scheduling tips

  • Run an initial manual sync after connecting to confirm credentials.
  • Use cron-based syncing for production sites; WP-Cron is adequate for smaller blogs.
  • Enable email alerts in the plugin for sync failures or API auth issues.
  • Keep permalink structures simple, such as /blog/%postname%.
  • Update the plugin immediately if you rotate affiliate API keys.

Troubleshooting checklist

  • Verify hosting allows outbound HTTPS requests to affiliate.dragonzap.com/api/v1.
  • Confirm the API key has products.list and promotions.view scopes.
  • Flush WordPress permalinks if shortcode pages return 404 errors.
  • Contact support with the timestamp of the failure and recent log entries.
