AffiliateWP – Add a Custom Tab to the Affiliate Area

The Affiliate Area in AffiliateWP has several tabs at the top of the page, like “Affiliate URLs”, “Statistics”, “Graphs” etc. These are all really handy for your affiliates, but what if you want to add your own tab with your own content? It’s really easy with the following snippet:

add_filter( 'affwp_affiliate_area_tabs', 'snippetpress_affwp_custom_tab' );
function snippetpress_affwp_custom_tab( $tabs ){	
	$tabs['custom-tab'] = 'Custom Tab';	
	return $tabs;	
}

add_filter( 'affwp_render_affiliate_dashboard_tab_custom-tab', 'snippetpress_affwp_custom_tab_contents' );
function snippetpress_affwp_custom_tab_contents( $content ){	
	return 'Our custom content goes here!';	
}

As you can see, this will add a custom tab to the AffiliateWP Affiliate Area.

In the example above, we used a slug custom-tab for our custom tab. You need to make sure that this slug is the same in both parts of the code snippet:

Where to add the snippet?

The snippet should be placed at the bottom of the functions.php file of your child theme. Make sure you know what you’re doing when editing this file. Alternatively, you can use a plugin such as Code Snippets to add the custom code to your WordPress site.
