Not possible

Not planning to implement

  • [11.06.17] Add more control over wp_coupons_expire event time + occurrence. Reason: Multiple options already available and limited by WP Cron.
  • [05.14.20] Coupon code # of uses, then expire. Reason: No way to track this and we aren’t looking to provide this type of functionality.
  • [07.29.16] Add not working option and ability to add link to contact. Reason: We are looking into adding an upvote/downvote feedback system.
  • [03.31.20] Option to hide the coupon widget on the single post template. Show only where the shortcode is triggered. Reason: You can already use the single coupon shortcode conditionally to mimic the functionality of a widget.

  • [02.22.19] Sticky Coupon Widget on Mobile. Reason: Due to Web Vitals, we don’t think this will be good for UX on mobile and we’ll be adding other widget customizations options in the future.

  • [08.01.18] Ability for users to pay to upload coupons, membership options, pay-per-coupon, etc… Reason: At this point, we aren’t planning to commit the development time required for this feature.
  • [02.27.18] Integration with WC Vendors and WC Frontend Manager. Reason: At this point, we aren’t planning to commit the development time required for this feature.
  • [02.04.18] Multisite support. Reason: This isn’t how customers have been the plugin.
  • [01.15.18] Visual (Drag n Drop) Editor for creating coupon designs. Reason: At this point, we aren’t planning to commit the development time required for this feature.
  • [07.07.17] Load wp-coupons.css only when needed on the page. Reason: We would have to inline the CSS, and there is too much code.
  • [05.29.17] Ability for users to submit coupons (go to waiting for approval status by admin). Reason: This creates additional problems such as spam filtering, security, etc.
  • [01.23.17] Make searchable (location + map, Tweet). Reason: It doesn’t fall in line with the core focus of our pluguin.
