This tool will scan links with the specified domains for the query string variables listed below and ensure that they are updated with the appropriate values. These valued can be defined by:
- 01Post/Page settings
- 02URL
- 03Client Side Cookie
- 04Server Session Cache
- 05Defaults (in the global admin)
The list above indicates the order of override – in short, settings for a post/page will cause mismatching values set via url to be ignored. Note: This processing will only apply to material output via the_content() (this includes pages & posts).
For example – if the domain is www.wordpress.org and the query string variables defined are “affiliateID” and “trafficSource”, any links to www.wordpress.org would have the affiliateID & trafficSource query string variables appended. If they are already in the link’s url, it will update those variables to the correct values.
