Installation
Install the CouponHut theme and import the demo content.
Use the Subsolar Unyson fork, not the WordPress.org Unyson. The standard Unyson plugin is no longer compatible with modern WordPress and causes white-screen errors, save failures, and progressive site degradation on long-running installs. Always install Unyson from the TGM plugin notice that appears after activating CouponHut - never from the WordPress.org plugin directory.
Unzip the downloaded package. You can install the theme in one of the following ways:
- FTP - copy the non-zipped folder in the /wp-content/themes/ directory in the Wordpress installation of your server.
- Upload - Go to Appearance > Themes in the admin dashboard, click the Add New button, then Upload Theme and choose the zipped file with the theme.
If you get a style.css not found error, make sure you are uploading the correct file. It's important to know that the account that you have to install is the one inside the downloaded package.
After that go to Appearance > Themes and click Activate on the theme. After the activation a warning about the plugins that are required will be shown at the top:
Click on Begin Installing Plugins. This installs the Subsolar Unyson fork, Advanced Custom Fields Pro, and CouponHut Core - all three are required. WooCommerce is recommended if you plan to sell deals.
Upgrading an older CouponHut site
If you've been running CouponHut for several years and are seeing progressive issues (slow admin, white screens when saving deals, broken deal links), you're almost certainly still on the old Unyson plugin from WordPress.org. To migrate:
wp-content/ directory.Your deals, companies, and content are preserved. Only manual edits you made to Unyson's own plugin files will be overwritten.
1 Click Demo Install
CouponHut options panel and page builder is powered by the awesome Unyson Framework. After installing and activating it, go to Unyson in the Admin Dashboard and install the 2 extensions - Page Builder and Backup.
You can install the initial dummy content so you get your site up and running faster than ever. After doing the steps above, click on Tools > Content Install and install the dummy data.
Warning! All your existing content will need to be replaced with the demo content and thus it will be deleted.
It will create some sample deal posts, placeholder images, navigation menu, sidebar, front page build the way it is shown in the demo and a contact page.
Demo imports time out on many shared hosts. If Content Install stalls, fails with a 500 error, or never completes, raise the PHP limits below and retry. Values of 256M / 300s cover most cases.
max_execution_time = 300
max_input_time = 300
memory_limit = 256M
post_max_size = 64M
upload_max_filesize = 64MIf the Unyson Page Builder doesn't appear inside the editor after install, you're probably seeing Gutenberg. Install the Classic Editor plugin so Unyson's builder can render, then reload the page. More details in the FAQ.
