Telchar Referral Link Tracker

外掛說明

Telchar Referral Link Tracker is a lightweight WordPress plugin for site owners who need simple self-hosted referral links.

It creates referral URLs that redirect to a target URL and records privacy-friendly Estimated Visits.

This plugin focuses on a simple and controlled workflow:

  • Create affiliates manually in WordPress.
  • Create referral links for each affiliate.
  • Redirect visitors to a target URL.
  • Track only Estimated Visits.

Estimated Visits are counted once per link, hashed IP, and day.

This plugin deliberately does not include:

  • Commission management.
  • Payment handling.
  • Cookie-based tracking.
  • Sessions.
  • External telemetry.
  • Remote calls.

The result is a simple, privacy-friendly, and fully self-contained referral system.

常見問題集

What does “Estimated Visits” mean?

Estimated Visits count one visit per link, hashed IP, and day. Repeated requests from the same IP to the same link on the same day do not increase the count.

Does the plugin track anything besides Estimated Visits?

No. The plugin is intentionally limited to Estimated Visits only.

Does the plugin store raw IP addresses?

No. The plugin hashes the visitor IP using WordPress salts and stores only the hash for daily deduplication.

Can I reuse a slug after deleting a link or affiliate?

Yes. Deleting a link changes it to an internal hidden status, which removes it from public resolution and allows the slug to be reused later.

Does the plugin support external target URLs?

Yes. Both internal and external target URLs are supported, but you must enter a full URL including http:// or https://. Relative URLs are not supported.

Does the plugin support multisite?

No. Multisite is not supported in the current version.
