Before taking any of these steps it is recommended you backup your site.
Deactivate theme and plugins
- Switch from your current theme to Twenty Thirteen or a similar default WordPress Plugin (Twenty Twelve, Twenty Fourteen,…) by heading to your site’s admin and Appearance > Themes
- Head to your plugin page on your site’s admin Plugins > Installed Plugins and select everything, but the Coupon Creator and Coupon Creator Pro plugin. Then in the bulk edit dropdown select Deactivate and Apply
- Clear your browsers cache
- Check your site in the browser and see if the conflict is resolved
Reactive theme and plugins one at a time to find the conflict
- If the issue resolves after switching themes and deactivating the plugins, then it is time to start changing things back to find the conflict
- Start by changing the theme back on your site and then retest to find the issue
- If the problem shows, then there is a conflict with the theme. If not, head to the next step
- Reactive your plugins one at a time, each time checking to see if that recreates the issue
- If you find one of the plugins does recreate the issue, you are looking at a plugin conflict
- Once you find the conflict, you can reactive your theme and plugins back to how you want it
