Locations and Vendors organize coupons with two extra taxonomies and add visitor-facing controls to Coupon Creator Pro's loop and filter bar.
Enable the features #
Open Coupons → Options → Add-Ons and enable Location Filter and/or Vendor Filter.
When enabled, Locations and Vendors appear under the Coupons admin menu. Disabling either feature hides its admin and front-end controls without deleting the saved terms or coupon assignments.
Create and assign terms #
Create locations and vendors before assigning them:
- Open Coupons → Locations or Coupons → Vendors.
- Enter a name and slug, then add it.
- Edit a coupon and select the appropriate locations or vendors in the editor sidebar.
- Publish or update the coupon.
Use locations for places where an offer is valid, such as Downtown or West Side. Use vendors for the business or brand providing it. A coupon can have multiple terms from either taxonomy.
Filter a coupon loop #
Use term slugs in the Pro [couponloop] shortcode:
[couponloop location="downtown" vendor="acme-market"]
Available attributes:
| Attribute | What it does |
|---|---|
location / vendor |
Includes coupons assigned to the listed slugs. Separate multiple slugs with commas. |
exclude_location / exclude_vendor |
Excludes coupons assigned to the listed slugs. |
match_location / match_vendor |
Uses ANY or ALL when multiple terms are supplied. |
filter_order |
Places location or vendor at a chosen position in the bar. |
filter_hide |
Hides either control while keeping the filter bar enabled. |
filterbar |
Leave empty to show the filter bar, or use hide to remove the whole bar. |
For example:
[couponloop perpage="12" filter_order="location,vendor,keyword,orderby" filter_hide="category,perpage"]
Location and Vendor controls appear automatically in a visible filter bar when their Add-ons features are active. The example hides the Category and Per Page controls, leaving Location, Vendor, Keyword, and Order By. The Pro Coupon Loop block exposes the same Location and Vendor include, exclude, and match selections in the block editor.
Troubleshooting #
- Use the term slug, not its display name, in shortcode attributes.
- Confirm the coupon is published and assigned to the expected terms.
- Confirm Location Filter or Vendor Filter is still enabled under Coupons → Options → Add-Ons.
- If a location or vendor archive returns a 404, save Settings → Permalinks once to refresh WordPress rewrite rules.
See Coupon Loop & Filter Bar for all loop controls and Troubleshooting 404 Errors for permalink help.
