  • Hi Preston,

    Yes... If that's what you want.

    Not sure I understand this question, as the two options given are not mutually exclusive (Both RAP and WP plugins are installed to your website). There is no "or".

    It totally depends on the level of integration you want, and how you intend to use Wordpress.

    For instance, Wordpress was designed to be an easy way to create content, and to organize it for presentation on the web (posts vs pages, categories, etc.)

    However, people have also created some pretty ingenious plugins to extend the functionality of Wordpress. It's really a matter of planning, up front, what it is you really want to do.

    1) RAP (or just about any sales system) can run on the same web site with your blog, and you can use simple links from the blog content to your RAP sales pages,
    2) Themes have been created for WP to allow creation of sales pages on your "blog", allowing you to actually place your order button on a post or page, rather than a simple link, or
    3) plugins have been created to provide restricted access to the blog content (i.e. membership systems), based on a previous purchase.

    RAP can be used with Wordpress, in any of the above scenarios.
  • quick question sid.. so if i am running a wp blog with for example optimize press for my sales pages.. i create a separate dir for rap and install rap into that dir and setup it then link via the buy it now links from the wp blog squeeze pages?

    You couldn't possibly send me the guide for rap could you, to check this out before i purchase?

    • Hi Steve,

      Yes, and as I said above, that's just one of the many options.

      RAP requires a minimum of two directories. One for the Admin Panel (rap_admin) must be located directly under the root, and one for each product you want to sell via RAP.

      Each product folder contains templates for the various pages (40+ templates provided, to be used as necessary) in your sales process, and to keep them organized, the files for each distinct product must be in a separate directory.

      The sales page is the default page for each of those directories.

      Because each product is in it's own directory, only ONE of those products can be in the root folder. More likely, you would be running your WP installation in your root folder, and ALL of the products would be in separate folders under the root folder.

  • Maybe I am wrong... but my interpretation of Steve's question was whether it was possible to link from a WP page - skipping the RAP sales page - directly to the payment page.

    Or, to put it in other words: to use the RAP "order" link on a WP page that is NOT in the 'product' directory.

    (I know how to set up product folders in RAP; I am using it... however, not with this WP combination.)

    If my understanding of Steve's post was incorrect - just disregard it.

    • Hi Istvan,

      On re-reading Steve's post... I think you're probably right - and the answer is yes. The "RAP order link" is really no different than any other order link, and can be placed anywhere.

      There are, however, a couple of caveats...
      1) Some merchants don't want their sales page re-written/paraphrased by an affiliate (opening the door for excess hype, or misrepresentation), so RAP only allows the order link to come from a different domain, if/when the merchant has selected to allow it.
      2) Affiliate cookies are NOT automatically stored by Wordpress, so if an affiliate sent a visitor to your WP sales page (even though on the same domain), he/she would not receive referral credit (there is an inexpensive WP plugin available to overcome this if you have the need).

      Thanks for the catch.

  • Hi Karsten,

    Because it's a WP plugin, and not (technically) a RAP add on, I hadn't listed it anywhere (pretty stupid, huh?).

    Anyway, I've just added it to the right sidebar of your Rapid Action Profits Admin Dashboard - just under the list of RAP Certified Add Ons.

    Hope this helps,

    • Thank you so much Sid. Cant wait for future updates of RAP, for me it is still the best total solution out there
