New Release
3 reviews of “Home Control for Clipper”
I followed the instructions for the plugin setup only to discover you don’t get what the demo shows for CLIPPER THEME.
The demo looks professional with the scrolling banners – that is a separate purchase, which I knew because of how much time I spent on the live demo.
Here’s where the differences are. I followed the step by step setup instructions.
1st. No Sidebar. None, zip, zilch, not even an option.
2nd. On the “Categories” slider, the only symbol you get is a CIRCLE WITH A FILE FOLDER or a variation of sorts. Scroll the categories slider until you see “SPORTS/FITNESS” – That is what you get wit this plugin.
3rd. Lost Pagination – Page #’s – at the bottom of the coupon grid in the demo model you will see page numbers. When I contacted “support” I was told to use the “View All” option that comes with the plugin. It’s a button that does not look good that is placed in an odd location on the page.
Hi rsstoner,
It was older documentation that create you confusion. You may follow the readme.txt file inside plugin folder that give your right guide. Very sorry for not updated the plugin document on demo site.
The pagination and all is ok ,if you see demo site it is just added widgets in top widget area no need to add/change home page template. After latest update we have change theme home page file only so don’t worry about page template and all.
Thanks
I played with the live demo feature. I went through the features, pages layouts etc., I then decided to make the purchase.
I started following the plugin setup and discovered it is not the same.
1. No page sidebar. The option to set up the sidebar is not there when you “add” a new page. In fact when you go to “add new page” per the detailed instructions for installation, it looks nothing like the step by step instructions. There is no Sidebar option.
2. Forget about the nice looking category slide bar. YOU DON’T GET WHAT IS SHOWN IN THE LIVE DEMO The only options you get are circles with a picture of a file folder.
3. Lost Pagination – Page #’s – In the Live Demo at the bottom of the coupon “list” Page 1 of 41 2 3 4 ›› Not available in the actual plugin. I was told to use the “View More” button that comes with the plugin.
I know I wasn’t going to get the nice looking store coupons and store logos. But, if anyone knows how I can get those, let me know.
This plugin is a mess if you are using Flatter theme for your site. Support guys are ok to a certain level and then they just give up.
**No refunds**

With this plugin, can I have a homepage with sidebar and fullwidth slider just like the original Clipper homepage?

You can see the demo and also related template while creating page from wp-admin for home page.

hi celina,
the slider is revolution slider plugin, get it from : http://www.themepunch.com/codecanyon/revolution_wp/
yes you should make setting for that.
In the demo we have added links in the main menu for all home page possibility.
Hey, I actually meant the featured coupons slider included in the original Clipper theme, not the revolution slider.
So, what I’m asking is, is it possible to have a homepage with full width coupons slider, coupon listings, and the sidebar?
it should be so we will add the featured coupon slide inbuilt with left & right sidebar pages
we update the plugin and added new widget area for upper home content to see the featured slid in full width.

Where does the more coupon links below the grid takes you ? In all your demos including flatter and clipper it just keeps you on the home page ? Can we can also create a new page for Top Hottest offers with around 40 top offers in a list view and take the user to that particular page if he clicks on more coupons
yes you can add either category listing page link, or create any page and add it’s link and any link to where you wish to see the user all listing…

those are the widget code which you can get from : clipper_homepage_widgets.php
the widget class is :: wpw_clipper_home_grid_widget
Thanks
I am looking at this plugin for my client. I see that the slider is the Revolution slider to be purchased separately. That is fine. But how do you get it to show on the top of the home page? I am wondering if other sliders can be used the same way.
Thank you for your help.
As the page can be controlled via WIDGETs only so you should choose the slider plugin which should be displayed via widget. So you can drag & drop the widget as per plugin guide.
Thanks

Dear Team
I have purchased this plugin but i am unaware about the copying the four files because without copying this file it is showing some changes so please clear this first.Second I want to Remove Featured slider coupons from my site as i am using Flatter.Third in the Coupon Grid view coupon’s Label whether it is Show Coupon or Deal is not showing in the box.Please resolve it and also share your email for support.
Thank & Regards
Gourav
Hi Gourav,
1) I am unaware about the copying the four files because without copying this …
==> As while you active the plugin first time it will automatically copy the files to current active theme root folder so it will start without any problem. If you have changed the theme then only you should either active plugin again or copy the files.
2) I want to Remove Featured slider coupons …. as i am using Flatter
==> As you are using flatter theme you should remove the featured slider form flatter plugin settings. They have already fixed slider and you can remove it from settings.
3)in the Coupon Grid view coupon’s Label whether it is Show Coupon or Deal is not showing in the box.Please resolve it.
==> It will display the coupons as per you have make settings. Make sure you have all settings correctly.
By the the way i got your email and we can continue support via forum or email.
Thanks
Dear sir
Thanks for your support now please help in coupon grid because you have limit to 6 tabs and i want to increase that.secondly i want to increase coupon box width length not height.third i want to change tabs look or want to change color of tab
Hi,
1)the maximum limit of tabs are 6 and if you want to add more you may add same widget again so it will display more 6 tabs.
if you want to customize and change the code then you may do customization.
2) you should not increase coupon box width because it is set as per all screen so if you change it, it may need to change for all screen. For now we have added only height change option.
3)For tab look, we have added two options already, if you want to add your own look, you may add css in your style.css and change it.
Thanks
Dear Sir
Default coupon listing nos is 10 but it is not working for me because i changed to 6 or 15 but it is showing always 10.Please help.
Thanks & Regards
Gourav
actually you should set number of records to display from widget section. the option name is :: “Number of list want to show”
Dear Sir
I selected that particular option but still it is showing 10.Please help
Thanks & Regards
Gourav
make sure you are doing settings in the right widget as you may change any other widget. I just check and confirm it is working good.
Thanks
I would like to add a valid until text (like in the expiring soon coupons widget from clipper) how can I add these, i tried to call it but is not showing. I think it is important to show the visitor how long the coupon is valid especially with the expiring soon coupons…
Thanks
It will show the next expiring coupons in the list.
I know, but it show show the time as well so people know, like all coupon on home control should do, so how do I add these???????
you mean it should display the expiring time so people can get it.
But this is general coupon display not specific expiry coupons data. so we have added common content for all.
yes but it is especially important for the soon to be expired coupons. And it should not show the date. It should show valid “valid x days” or even “just today”
you may right but we may plan such update in future but for now you may customize as per you want.
Thanks
I think this is still very important and should be attended asap
Hey just add
