Brian Jackson We have added a new feature which allows you to link directly to the affiliate or program and skip the single coupon page. This can be better for conversion rates as it is only a single click for the user instead of two.
Within each coupon post, there is an option to enable “Direct Link.”
Within the WP Coupons “Extras” tab there is an option to force direct links globally.
If you get a 404 error on one of your coupon pages, most likely you need to simply re-save your permalinks. This might occur right after you install the plugin. Follow the steps below to do so.
Click into “Settings” and “Permalinks” within your WordPress dashboard.
Scroll down and click on “Save Changes.”
That should fix any 404 errors you might encounter.
To add a new WordPress coupon type, click into “Coupons” in your dashboard and click on “Types”
You can then enter in new coupon types. These also function as your categories and the filters on your coupon archive pages.

If you have a feature you would like added, feel free to contact us. Below are features we either have already planned or are discussing. Make sure to also check out our changelog.
rel="noopener" to links.Yes, our affiliate program officially launched on June 14th, 2016.
To add a new WordPress coupon click into “Coupons” in your dashboard and click on “Add New.” You can then enter in your coupon details.
Also don’t forget to setup your coupon types.
Within each blog post there is an option on the right-hand side to manually set which coupon you want to show up. Otherwise by default it will show a random plugin on each blog post.
Why would you want to do this? Say you have a blog post about KeyCDN services. And you have an affiliate coupon with free credits. If you set your KeyCDN coupon to show up manually for that post, it means readers will see the KeyCDN free credits every time they read the review. This can dramatically increase your CTR and conversions. You can even take it one step further and make your coupons widget scroll with the reader.
You can enter the information for each coupon within each coupon post type. Follow the steps below.
In your WordPress dashboard click into “Coupons” and click edit on one of your coupons.
Within the post there is a WP Coupons Details field in which you can enter all the details that display on the coupon itself. We added a feature called “Direct Link” in which the link will go directly to your Discount URL. For some coupons you might want to send them directly to the discount, and in other circumstances you might want to send them to your coupon page for more details. You can enable or disable this per coupon.
Follow the steps below to setup your WP Coupons widget.
In your WordPress dashboard click into “Appearance” and then into “Widgets.”
Having the WP Coupons plugin installed automatically creates a widget. Simply drag the WP Coupons widget to your sidebar.
