How to manage affiliate links on WordPress
The short answer
WordPress can handle affiliate links manually, but it does not provide a central link library, click reports or automatic broken-link checks. For a small site, add links in the editor and mark them as sponsored; for a larger site, use a management plugin such as Lasso to update and monitor them in one place.
What you need
- WordPress admin access
- Approved affiliate accounts and destination URLs
- A list of existing affiliate links
- An affiliate disclosure for your site
