I desperately need help with is this: How do I paste an affiliate link into an HTML/TEXT editor? I have an e-junkie account and I am trying to join another blog’s affiliate program. My blog is [http://www.juicygreengirl.com](http://www.juicygreengirl.com). This is the code I need to paste: `Click here to visit Frugally Sustainable.` Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * [kmessinger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kmessinger/) * (@kmessinger) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-installing-affiliate-code/#post-2962793) * Normally you would post affiliate code into a text widget. * Thread Starter [juic9378](https://wordpress.org/support/users/juic9378/) * (@juic9378) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-installing-affiliate-code/#post-2962816) * I think I tried this. Not sure it worked. Also, I just upgraded to version 3.4.1. Also, I am confused as to where to put the text widget? header, footer, secondary footer area. I have those options, but Im confused * [kmessinger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kmessinger/) * (@kmessinger) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-installing-affiliate-code/#post-2962835) * Just depends on your theme. In the widgets area of the dashboard you can drag the text widget to whatever widget area shows up as determined by the theme. * [Juan Rangel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nunotmp/) * (@nunotmp) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-installing-affiliate-code/#post-2962838) * Kmessinger is right, you would use a text widget and paste the html into there. If you want it on a page paste the code in html view, same applies to a post. You want to post just a link which should be easy if/when you start posting images, at times you will be to re-size the image to fit properly in your sidebar or other areas. * Thread Starter [juic9378](https://wordpress.org/support/users/juic9378/) * (@juic9378) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-installing-affiliate-code/#post-2962952) * Thanks so much, I think I did it!! * [1967VW](https://wordpress.org/support/users/1967vw/) * (@1967vw) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-installing-affiliate-code/#post-2963121) * Along this same line, when I go to my dashboard home, I have 3 affiliate banner codes I can enter which go into my side board. The theme also allows me to change the page style so that I can ad a secondary sidebar as well and I can drag widgets to the sidebar and the blank boxes for these widgets show up. The problem is that I don’t seem to see any provision for entering code for the secondary widgets on the dashboard home page. Either I have missed something or I have misunderstood how the “Lifestyle Child Theme” is set up. Any suggestions? I just want to put affiliate links in the three widgets in the secondary sidebar. * Thanks Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) The topic ‘Need Help Installing Affiliate Code’ is closed to new replies. * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 6 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [1967VW](https://wordpress.org/support/users/1967vw/) * Last activity: [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-installing-affiliate-code/#post-2963121) * Status: resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
