WP App Store Installer for Product Integration

The following code is intended for developers to include in their themes/plugins to help distribute the WP App Store plugin and earn affiliate revenue. The code adds a "WP App Store" item to the WordPress menu. When clicked, a page introduces WP App Store and allows the user to install the WP App Store plugin with one click.

WP App Store Installer

Integration

  • Copy wp-app-store.php to your theme or plugin directory

  • Paste the following code into your theme's functions.php or main plugin file

if ( !class_exists( 'WP_App_Store_Installer' ) ) {
    require 'path/to/wp-app-store.php';
}

function my_wpasi_init() {
    if ( !is_admin() ) return;

	$affiliate_id = '5555555'; // Your affiliate ID
    
    global $my_installer; // Allows others to access the installer object
    $my_installer = new WP_App_Store_Installer( $affiliate_id );
}

add_action( 'init', 'my_wpasi_init' );

  • Update path/to/wp-app-store.php to be the correct include path

  • Update the affiliate ID with the one found in your account. If you don't yet have an affiliate account, sign up for one instantly.

Customize the menu

By default, the installer adds a Theme Store submenu item under Appearance and Plugin Store under Plugins. You can remove these and add your own menu item by using the wpasi_menu_items hook.

The following example removes the default menus and adds an App Store submenu item under the Gravity Forms top level menu.

function my_wpasi_menu_items( $menus ) {
	// Remove the default menu items
	unset( $menus['themes.php'] );
	unset( $menus['plugins.php'] );

	// Add a new menu item
	$menus['gf_edit_forms'] = array(
		'title' => 'App Store',
		'slug' => 'gf-wp-app-store-installer'
	);

	return $menus;
}

add_filter( 'wpasi_menu_items', 'my_wpasi_menu_items' );
