 * Hi, I have downloaded and install the plugin but when I click activate a new 
   window opens saying
    “The link you followed has expired.
 * Please try again.”
    What I do now?

 * Hi, that is very strange. Did you also try to install the plugin by searching
   for the plugin in the admin dashboard, instead of uploading the zipped folder
   from your computer?

 * Hi, I have tried a lot of things yesterday after I left this message here.
    The
   first try was to download the plugin while my site had the old version of wordpress.
   The installation came from the zipped folder. Everything went okay but when I
   clicked to activate the pluging the error message that something went wrong appeared.
 * Second try was after deleting the pluging and refreshing the plugin page, I clicked
   add new, and from the searching I located wp affiliate manager and click instal.
   The installation went okay again but activation sent me again to the error message.
 * Third try was to try and use the last version of the plugin and then activate
   it. The message was there again.
 * The plugin’s support believes that if the pluging downloads fine then the issue
   is with the activation.

 * Hi, just a question. Does this happen with any other plugin you try to install
   in your site?
 * Can you try the following. Go to **Tools -> Site Health** and check your sites
   status.
 * Another step you can take is, disable all your plugins and then try again to 
   activate our plugin.
 * Let me know how you go.
 * Thank you

 * Hi, unfortunately the problem still exist even when other plugins has been disabled.
   
   Also, my site’s status says that it is good.
 * What the error message means when it says that “the link you followed has expired?”

 * I did it! I think I solved the problem.
    Went back to my web host page, search
   the instalaton page for the affiliate manager and I activate it from there. Right
   now I see it on my dashboard. Don’t know if it works properly tho but I will 
   talk with its support if need it.
 * Thank you for helping me out by suggesting me what to look and your quick responce.
   
   Have a lovely day.
