    I have a business partner who bought a WordPress theme designed to host a coupon site. The thing has almost no useful documentation and, really, I don't know where to start. I've download another free theme, but, I'm still stuck. Frankly, I don't know if this is the best place to post. Anyway, in the back of these things they have areas where you enter new coupons, with fields like the following:

    [TABLE="class: form-table coupon-meta-table"]
    [TR]
    [TH]Coupon Code:[/TH]
    [TD][/TD]
    [/TR]
    [TR]
    [TH]Destination URL:[/TH]
    [TD][/TD]
    [/TR]
    [TR]
    [TH][/TH]
    [TD][/TD]
    [/TR]
    [TR]
    [TH][/TH]
    [/TR]
    [/TABLE]
    This stuff, as I've said, is Greek to me.... Where do I get a "coupon code", what is the destination URL, etc. I've Googled this - of course - and haven't found anything that helps....mostly I just find coupon sites.... If anyone could shed some light on this I would be very grateful.

    Just google keywords with Coupon COde sites and you'd be able to find tons of coupon codes.

    You paid for something that has no instructions or no support. Good investment!

    You get coupon codes from your affiliates. If you join the big affiliate networks you will have section where you will find coupons.
    The destination url: Here you should place affiliate links with your id. The idea is that the client should go via your id on any site. This way if they buy something you will get a commission.
