I'll do my best to answer your questions, and for anything I'm not sure of I'll get the answers ;) :
1. All of our themes use WordPress custom post types functionality, and in the case of Clipper, coupons that are posted are filed under "Coupons" and blog posts are "Posts" (like on a regular
WP theme). Blog posts are created from the back end only by those with relevant permissions, and posts made there will simply appear under the blog . You can see these different post types on the
Clipper admin demo here.
2. You have the option in the
Clipper admin to set whether or not expired coupons are pruned from the front end, but you can also manually manage coupons from the
wp-admin as well - I'll need to clarify with our team regarding if the CJ jobs are handled the same way.
A cron job runs once a day and automatically removes all expired coupons from your site (does not delete them, just changes the post status to draft). If no is selected, the coupon will remain live on your site, marked as expired, and moved under the "unreliable coupons" section.
3. On the plugin settings page you will find "Create Categories" and "Create Stores" options, if both are checked, imported coupons will automatically create categories and stores.
4. I will ask our team for clarification of this question.
5. No problem, it's good to get these questions answered before you go ahead and buy anything ;)
6. I'm personally not familiar with how CouponPress works and whether or not they use custom post types? But as Clipper has a
built in .csv importer, it should be relatively straightforward to import the data anyway. Although we don't offer customization and setup services, we do have a
certified partners page where you can find developers for hire who are familiar with working with our themes if you do end up needing help with the initial setup.
We'll post again with clarification of 2 & 4 as soon as possible. Thanks.
