About AppThemes Clipper 2.0.6

Clipper is a WordPress theme from AppThemes for running a coupon and deals website. The idea is to list coupons by store and category, send visitors to the retailer, and earn from that traffic. It is a full WordPress theme, so it installs into WordPress like any other.

The store lists this product as a static HTML template. That looks wrong. The description says it is built to integrate tightly with WordPress, so treat it as a WordPress theme and not as a set of HTML files.

The file on record is version 2.0.6, from August 2017, although the store title shows a different number. It is old, so test it on a staging site with your current WordPress and PHP versions before use.

Key features

Coupon site theme: Designed to run a coupon and deals website on WordPress.
Monetising traffic: Built around earning from the visitors your deals attract.
Tight WordPress integration: Uses the WordPress dashboard for managing coupons, stores and categories.
Fast to launch: The developer describes it as ready to list coupons within minutes of setup.
AppThemes family: Part of the AppThemes range that also covers classifieds, jobs and ideas themes.

Is it right for you?

A good fit for

Deals and coupon bloggers starting a new site
Affiliate marketers who want a ready-made coupon layout

Look elsewhere if

How to install AppThemes Clipper 2.0.6

1
Download the file
Open My Account → Downloads and download the product. If the archive contains several zips (documentation, child theme, licensing files), you need the one named after the product.
2
Find the installable theme zip
Theme packages often bundle the theme, a child theme, plugins and docs. The installable theme is the zip that has style.css at its top level.
3
Upload it to WordPress
Go to Appearance → Themes → Add New Theme → Upload Theme, choose the theme zip, then Install Now and Activate.
4
Install the recommended plugins
Most premium themes show a notice listing their required plugins. Install those before importing any demo content.

Notes for this product

AppThemes themes often rely on the developer's own framework files, so check the documentation in the package for anything to install first.

Getting started: using AppThemes Clipper 2.0.6

Test on a staging copy. The file dates from 2017, so install it on a test copy of your site first.
Activate and open the theme settings. Look through the options for currency, coupon types and display settings.
Create stores and categories. Add the retailers you will list and organise deals into categories.
Add your first coupons. Create several coupons, each with its store, category and link, then view them on the front end.
Check permalinks and menus. Save permalinks, build the main menu and open a store and coupon page.

Common problems and fixes

Coupon or store pages show a 404 error

Why it happens: The theme adds its own content types and WordPress has not refreshed its permalink rules.
How to fix it: Go to Settings, Permalinks and click Save Changes without altering anything.

Warnings or a white screen appear after activating

Why it happens: A 2017 theme may use code that newer PHP versions reject.
How to fix it: Switch to an older PHP version on your host to test, and check the error log for the exact file.

“The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.”

Why it happens: The full download package was uploaded instead of the theme zip inside it.
How to fix it: Unzip the package and upload the zip that contains style.css at its top level.

“The link you followed has expired.” when uploading

Why it happens: The zip is larger than your server's PHP upload limit (upload_max_filesize / post_max_size).
How to fix it: Raise the upload limit in your hosting control panel, or unzip the file and upload the folder to wp-content/themes with your host's file manager or SFTP.

Demo import stops part-way or times out

Why it happens: The server hits its execution-time or memory limit during the import.
How to fix it: Raise max_execution_time and memory_limit with your host, then re-run the importer; importing content, widgets and settings separately also helps.

Pages look broken right after activating

Why it happens: The theme's required plugins (page builder, theme core plugin) aren't installed yet.
How to fix it: Install and activate everything in the theme's required-plugins notice, then reload.
