Coupon Thumbnails
Overview
The Coupon Thumbnails plugin for Clipper WordPress coupon theme will let you allow your users to upload thumbnails specific to the offer/coupon/deal instead of the default store image. The thumbnails can be uploaded via both the front end (via share coupon form) and the back end (via featured image box).
It’s a very simple and useful plugin that lets you draw the attention towards your deals/offers in an uncomplicated manner. You will love it if you hate those store logos repeating dozens of times on your website.
This plugin requires Clipper 1.6+. Please check the FAQs, installation, and support instructions before you make your purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is it possible to disable thumbnail upload from the front end?
Yes. Open /wp-content/plugins/coupon-thumbnails/coupon-thumbnails.php and change line number 13 to:define( 'CFI_DISABLE_FRONTEND', true );
- Is it possible to display coupon thumbnails only on the Store pages?
Yes. Open /wp-content/plugins/coupon-thumbnails/coupon-thumbnails.php and change line number 14 to:define( 'CFI_STORES_ONLY', true );
- Is it possible to use the plugin on an older version of Clipper?
Not directly. To make it work with an older version of Clipper, quite a few core files will need to be edited. You can get in touch via email to ask for a price to get us to do it for you.
Installation
- Download the Plugin zip file coupon-filters.zip.
- Open WP Admin dashboard -> Plugins -> Add new -> Upload
Upload and activate the Plugin from Plugins page.

Support FAQs
- What kind of support is offered with a purchased product?
Your product purchase includes one year of access to premium support via email and one year or free updates. Beyond that, you will need to renew your subscription year on year for around 30% of the product price. Support covers issues such as bug fixes (if any) under normal operation, how to use basic product features, very basic WordPress help, and help with very basic theme customisaton. If you need more advanced modifications please consider hiring a developer to do it for you. - Will you provide help with small modifications?
If you need to do small modifications, you may get help from us as long as they are reasonable in number and nature. If you have a lot of such modifications, please consider paid developer help. - What kind of help would be unreasonable to ask?
This is not an easy question to answer. We are here to ensure that the product you purchased works as intended by us and serves its purpose on your website. That means if it doesn’t work for you, we can step in and help you with it. However, it is when there are no issues with the functioning of the product and all you want is help with modification, that demands start getting unreasonable.
As mentioned before, we don’t mind helping with modifications, but we also expect you to have tried everything to do it yourself. In other words, we expect you to have tried all the settings in your theme, ensured that the issue relates to the product in question, searched through legacy product support forum, and looked around on Google for the answer to your questions before approaching us. Please bear in mind that one theme, one child theme and a few plugins can get you only so far, and you will probably need to make changes to the code of your website to add functionality, change design and personalise it. In case of too many modifications, we will politely ask you to seek paid help. - I am using one of your child themes. I am having an issue with it.
Please make sure the issue is really with the child theme by activating the parent theme and checking if the problem gets solved. Also please make sure you have tested all the settings in parent theme and child theme, sometimes the answer is right in there! Send us an email if the issue still persists. - I am using one of your child themes. I need help with customisation.
As a pre-requisite, you are going to need a basic understanding of HTML & CSS to start customising the layout and style of your theme. To dig deeper PHP knowledge, specifically to WordPress, will help as well. The WordPress Codex is a great place to start learning. For CSS changes related to text colour, background colour, fonts, etc, please consider using the Firebug extension. A simple Google search returns many good text/video tutorials. - Do you offer paid WordPress development services?
Yes we do depending on our work schedule. You can always run your requirements by us via email.

Couple of Questions on this Mohsin.
1. Are the images attached as regular attachments/featured images to the custom posts (Coupon), Is there a way we can change the location of images. My objective is to have a different folder for images and printable coupons.
2. Does this work with Clipper 1.5.1 ? or can we change this to work with clipper 1.5.1 ?
Hi there,
1. Yes, the images will be attached as normal attachments and set as a featured image. The plugin does not determine/change the default upload locations. There are hooks available to change the default upload folder, so you can use them to custom code a new folder for coupons.
2. No, it relies on the usage of a hook that was specifically changed in Clipper 1.6, it was impossible to display featured images in Clipper 1.5.1.
Best Regards,
Mohsin
Thanks Mohsin.
Does this plugin use the default featured image function in WP or a custom image field only for this plugin? So If I already have some coupons with featured image, are they going to appear instead of the current store image?
Also, if I have no featured image, the the store image will appear by default, correct?
Hi
I purchased this plugin but I didn’t see any where to upload the thumbnail (back-end)
Any help ?
Hi there,
Can you please email for support requests? Please find the email address under the support tab above. It should be there when you edit coupons, the link is called “Set Featured Image”, please email with admin access if you can’t find it.

Mohsin
Hi,
I have just bought and installed the plugin. Is it possible that both store image and coupon image display on the site, separated? I mean, I want to display the store image and uploaded coupon image. As I see(and it written) this plugin replace the original store image.
thank you and nice work! 🙂
You can do that, if you can get the term ID of Store from the post ID of the coupon.
The following will return the coupon thumbnail when the plugin is active:
clpr_get_store_image_url( $post->ID, 'post_id', 110 );
While you can use the following to get the store thumbnail:
clpr_get_store_image_url( $term->term_id, 'term_id', 110 );
if you have the following lines before the its usage:
$terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID, APP_TAX_STORE );
$term = reset( $terms );

Mohsin
I just paid the $15 fee and downloaded however I still cannot change the image from the default to an uploaded image. Please help!
Nvrmnd. I just figured it out! THANKS!
That’s great. 🙂
Is this plugin work for icodes india plugin thumbnails or it is necessary to by this plugin .
Guide me how to upload the store thumbnail to my site
Regards
Elangovan
Hi there,
I am not sure what you mean. It is not tested with the iCodes India plugin, but it has nothing to do with coupon feed plugins. Does the iCondes plugin supply a separate image for each coupon?

Mohsin
I am considering purchasing this plugin. But all of my coupons are currently automatically inserted using Commision Junction plugin. Would this allow the CJ plugin to add the images found on their site to the coupons automatically too? Since I currently don’t have anyone actually publishing coupons, this would be useless to me if not.
Hi there,
This plugin has nothing to do with the CJ plugin. Coupon Thumbnails uses the native WP functionality of “featired images”, so if the other plugin imports images ans saves them as “featured images” on coupons, you should be able to modify them using Coupon Thumbnails.

Mohsin
Hi Mohsin,
thanks for your hard work, but I’m sad to buy this Plugin, because i use now Coups Theme and there is the Plugin “implemented”.
So i hope we can make a refound, because the Plugin is brings me nothing anymore :/
Hi there,
I am afraid there is no way to “return” a software. We don’t process refunds anyway so you may try contacting AppThemes since they are our payment processors and they might consider your request.

Hi Will this plugin work for Flatter child theme?
Hi Will this plugin work for Flatter child theme?
Yes, it will.
Hi mohsin
How to add feature pricing like dealmaal.com ? and add small logo below of that price.
thanks
Hi there,
The plugin does what you can see in the demo. Everything else will need custom coding.

It can be used with a standard file import. Upload pictures to this file?
Hi there,
Thanks for the interest. I am not sure what you mean by standard file import. Please can you explain?

Hi author
Just bought the plugin, i can able to change the image for every individual image, but how can i do it for store?
Hi author
Just bought the plugin, i can able to change the image for every individual coupons, but please tell me how can i do it for individual store?
Please provide me steps to change images for each individual store. thanks
Hi there,
Thanks for the order. The plugin only deals with coupon images. You can change store images in Clipper itself from Coupons -> Stores page.

Mohsin
I purchased this plugin yesterday. So far, I’m impressed.
While I do re-use thumbnails for different coupons/vouchers, when the coupon/voucher that uses that thumbnail got deleted, so is the thumbnail.
I just deleted two expired coupons today which uses a specific thumbnail. When I add a new coupon and wanted to use that specific thumbnail for this new coupon, the thumbnail is no longer in my media list. It’s as if it’s deleted with the coupon.
How can I change this? That even a coupon is deleted, the thumbnail stays on media and not deleted with the coupon.
Thanks.
I just noticed that the image itself was deleted, when it was still used on other coupons. As my other existing coupons that uses that image reverted back to store image as the image used got deleted.
I think, when a coupon is deleted and it uses a thumbnail, that same thumbnail is also deleted even if, that same thumbnail is used somewhere else by another coupon.
I made an experiment.
I created post4 with no featured image.
I created post5 with image2 as featured image. Uploaded the image from post5 creation.
I created post6 with image2 as featured image.
Then, I edit post4 to use image2 as featured image.
I deleted post4 permanently. Both post5 and post6 still have image2 as featured image.
Now, I deleted post5 permanently. Post6 no longer have a featured image as image2 was deleted with post5.
So here’s my conclusion. When I upload an image and use it as featured image from within a post (post5), that image2 is associated with post5. When post5 is deleted, so is image2.
Temporary solution:
Upload image3 from Media > Add new.
When image3 is uploaded, it’s not associated with any posts.
Now, I created post7 and use image3 as feature image.
I created post8 and use image 3 as featured image.
Then I delete post7 permanently. Post8 still have the featured image.
I deleted post8 permanently. Image3 is still found on Media Library, and still can be used on future posts.
P.S.
Post* means new coupon post. I use the word “post” as I also reported this problem on WP Support.
Hi there,
Thanks for testing and reporting this. It looks like Clipper is doing this (I found the offending code). Basically what it is doing is removing all attachments when the coupon itself is deleted, presumably because printable coupon images are used as attachments and need to be disposed off when the coupon is removed. May be this can be overridden using the plugin itself, something for a future update.
Best Regards,
Mohsin
Hi Mohsin – Did this bug / issue ever get resolved? I am looking to purchase this plugin, my third of yours! I don’t want images being deleted with coupons…
Also, I assume that IF an image is deleted (whether on purpose or because of this bug) the store logo for that coupon will go immediately to the default and it will not have a “blank” store image correct?
Does this affect regular coupons or printable coupons, or both?
Hi Writer,
Just bought your plugin which is great!
Few question to ask if it works for my clipper theme:
1) can I set to display the thumbnail in wp admin>coupon > all coupon view for every coupon
2) can I set to display the thumbnail in front end > dashboard for every coupon
3) for clipper, there is an importer for bulk upload coupon, what should be attribute I put on the upload template so that my media library photo can be matched to each coupon respectively?
Thanks!
Hello Mohsin
Does this plugins will allow me to paste any feature coupon image?
looking to take it soon
I am sorry I didn’t understand this entirely. Can you please rephrase it in a simpler way? Thanks.
i must say im not realy affraid from your Plugin and my Big Wish is had never buy this Plugin, because in my Eyes it was Money what i can use better because i dont use your Plugin. Your Plugin is not made for Feature and it’s outdated 🙁
My big wish is a refound!
Best Regards,
Jens
I think that is something you must think before purchasing any plugin.
You purchased this item on June 23, 2016.
Expires: Jun 23, 2017
What will happen when it expires? Do I have to repurchase for it to be able to work, or to update to new or future versions?
You will need to pay a year on year fee of ~30% of the original price to continue receiving support and updates. You can use your current version for as long as you like without renewing your support period.
demo not working
oh and no update since almost 2 years how about newest clipper and PHP7 or WordPress 4.8?
It’s working now. It’s a very basic plugin, and should work on latest versions of PHP, WordPress and Clipper.
I purchased this plugin a few weeks ago to use with the Clipper theme. I am having a problem with the alt tags on images. I have the title and alt tags setup in the images/media but when the image gets put into the post, these are missing from the
tag. This is a very important piece of SEO and I am surprised it was missed when this plugin was created.
Has this been brought up before and is there a solution to get the ALT TAG and TITLE put into these coupon images?
Hi David,
Thanks for being a customer. This is an issue within the Clipper theme, as it only allows changing the image URL but not the “alt” attribute. You can make a suggestion on Clipper forums and they might make it just a little more extensible for this.
Still awaiting a pre-sales question answer from my post below.
Does this plugin work with the very latest Clipper, 1.6.4? Here are a few specific questions:
1.) Any coupon that does not have an uploaded featured image will simply have the store logo still correct?
2.) Do I upload images within a single coupon by clicking where it says “Featured Image”?
3.) Did you resolve the issue that Kenwwill mentioned, where if you delete a coupon code it deletes the image used in your plugin?
hello, with clipper version 2.0.1 the “upload thumbnail” field is not displayed in the front end (via share coupon form) area. thus the plugin is useless. how can we clarify the problem? Finally, I paid for a working plugin and here it is not the case
