Q. Can this plugin download datafeeds from FTP server of Shareasale.com?
A. YES, Just log in to your admin panel and go to Shareasale » Merchants - List All
page and click "Download datafeed via FTP".
In case, you don't have ftp access, you may upload them manually also.
Q. What if I do not have FTP access? Can I still use this plugin?
A. Of course YES! That's why I have added manual upload option in this
plugin. You can manually download the zip file from your shareasale account
and upload it to your website using manual upload option.
To do so, log in to your admin panel and go to Shareasale » Merchants - List All
page and click "Manually upload datafeed (zip) file.".
Q. Can I schedule number of post items and time interval between posts?
A. YES, you may define how many posts to be created in each session.
In settings page, you may define total number of posts and their status [publish/draft/private].
You will also see the complete url of cron file [including unique key to prevent misuse
or unidentified remote execution]. You may set up a cron job via control panel of your hosting
account and define any time-interval.
Q. How many merchants' datafeed I can add using this plugin?
A. NO LIMIT. If there are multiple merchants then cron will pick one random
merchant each time and post their feeds to your website. This process will continue
unless all feeds of all merchants are processed.
Q. How to set up cron job?
A. If you have cPanel hosting, you will use the following command
to set up your cron job:
curl --silent --compressed curl [CRON FILE URL] > /dev/null 2>&1
