Publish Courses

  • Use Dragon Zap » Products to pull in courses, bundles, or promotions.
  • Create new WordPress pages or posts and insert the provided shortcodes or blocks.
  • Preview content to confirm pricing, commission notes, and call-to-action buttons.
  • Schedule automatic syncs so catalog updates appear on your site without manual work.

Sync & 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 inside the plugin to be notified of sync failures or API auth issues.
  • Keep permalink structures simple (/blog/%postname%) to ensure landing pages match affiliate tracking.
  • If you rotate affiliate API keys, update the plugin immediately to avoid 401 errors.

Troubleshooting Checklist

  • Verify your hosting allows outbound HTTPS requests to affiliate.dragonzap.com/api/v1.
  • Confirm the Affiliate API key has the products:read and promotions:read scopes.
  • Flush WordPress permalinks if shortcode pages return 404 errors.
  • Check the plugin log under Dragon Zap » Logs for sync errors.
  • Reach out to support with the timestamp of the failure and recent log entries.
