I was confused about the auto generated clickbank thank you & registration page created by Wishlist Member. I searched all over the internet and couldn’t find this answer anywhere so I figured I would post the answer here. Maybe it will help someone out. Here is the conversation I had with Wishlist Member Support:
I am trying to set up the thank you page after some one pays with clickbank and find it rather strange that I can’t edit it.
In the “Integration” section, wishlist creates a thank you url for me and the video says to use this.
Only problem is it doesn’t say anything in this extension: /index.php/register/LPXYtv
Do I have to edit this file through FTP or can it be done on WordPress?
I only saw a similar question in the forums with no answer.
Hi There Eric,
The “Thank You URL” in our Clickbank Integration Step 1 is not customizable..It is a URL that captures data from clickbank after the member pays. It confirms if the member really paid and redirect them to a registration page where they provide their account info. Therefore, when you try to access that URL directly, it wont work. It is a security measure so that other people wont be able to pass it around and have then register on your site for free.
Hope that clarifies everything. Please let me know if you need anything else.
Thanks
Let me know if this helps you out in the comments section below. This would have saved me a bunch of time.
Hey Eric,
Your post on what the Wishlist Thankyou page does has solved the puzzle on how it hooks the payment system into Wishlist.
Actually it was a bit of a DERRRRR moment , “Oh yeah, of course that’s how it works…” 🙂
But I hadn’t found the answer on Wishlist… Must be hiding somewhere… So thanks again for posting the explanation. Now I can finish my flowchart and checklist on setting this up and get the website done!
Cheers
Tim Brownlaw
Awesome! Thanks Tim. If you need any other help with the wishlist thing, let me know. I love it!
Hi Eric,
Great post. There isn’t really much info on that problem so that’s great you posted this.
BTW, I am a write at WishlistMemberPlugins.net and I would appreciate your opinion regarding a new plugin my team and I had developed.
It’s a plugin that creates dynamic and targeted error pages using special short-codes.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Bob
hello there

customer goes to cllickbank
pays subscribes
then goes to thank you url
then gets directed to the registration url!
what is to stop people sharing this
URL?
this url is visible if you have paid or not?
many thanks

Are you saying that it is redirecting them to the registration page even when they don’t pay?
It shouldn’t do that, but if it does, I would contact Wishlist member about it.
