How to Force Processing of Tracking Requests

Please use this option ONLY if you are debugging your tracking issues and cannot wait for the request to be processed normally by a CRON job.

If you are debugging tracking and do not wish to wait for tracking requests to be processed, you can follow this guide, as Post Affiliate Pro allows you to force processing.
Before you begin, please check the type of your Post Affiliate Pro account/license (older customers may still have standalone licenses).

Hosted (Cloud) Accounts

Accounts hosted with us (cloud accounts) always use a cron job, and it takes approximately 5 minutes for tracking requests to be processed.

If you would like to manually trigger the processing, navigate to Emails > Mail outbox and click the "Send pending mails" button. This will open a window with "Pending Background Tasks", where you need to find the "Visit log processor" task and click the green "refresh" icon next to it (you may click a couple of times to ensure the task has been processed):

Self-hosted (Owned License)

If you are one of the "self-hosted" customers who have Post Affiliate Pro installed on your own server, please remember that If you are NOT using a cron job, you should NOT do this.

If the application is set to use a cron job, it takes 2–3 cron job runs to process tracking requests.
You can check whether you are using a cron job in Tools > Integration > Cron job integration. If you see the message "Cron job is not running", then do NOT continue.
