Hi,

I think here is your solution.

1/ Use Woocommerce to create your shop - this theme already compatible with this plugin.

2/ Install & activate plugin Page Links To

3/ Go to edit/add new a product, scroll down and you can see option for custom the link for that products. Put your affiliate link here.

Best Regards,

Hi there

I would like to create a page that lists products I recommend purchasing and can't figure out the best way to do it. Here is what I want:

One page that had a grid of photos of 25 products, 5 across, 5 down. 

If you click on a photo, it is an affiliate link that will take you to a website like Amazon.com for one product or Macys.com for another product. 

I tried creating a portfolio to do this, but I couldn't figure out how to edit the links of the photos to take the user to the correct website. (Although perhaps I am doing something wrong? I don't want the user to click through the photo just to bring up a page on my site with the photo on it. I want them to click on the photo and go to Amazon.) 

A gallery doesn't get me what I want either because of the spacing. (The portfolio grid is closer.)

To be clear, the reader will not be purchasing items on my site (so I don't need a shopping cart), but rather, this is a page of recommended products with affiliate links to other sites. 

I've attached a photo of something similar to what I would like to accomplish. 

I looked at the Shop but I wasn't sure if that was what I needed because again, I am not selling anything myself. I just really want a grid of photos that link out to other websites via affiliate links. 

Any tips or suggestions would be great.

Thanks!
