If you want to do some fast prototyping without using a live web server and all that entails you should install XAMPP.

@orange For the local Wordpress installation, you can also use very cool and easy to use app, LocalWP (it is free): https://localwp.com/

[ustk]

@orange @d-healey yeah I much prefer localwp too because it is made for WordPress, so as soon as you create a new site it installs and prepares WordPress, you open the browser and work instantly (very cool for trying things too in a blink of an eye)

Another cool feature is that it's easy to test your site from elsewhere by the mean of a tunnel (live link)

@orange Can anyone suggest a good and preferably free bulk coupon generator for woo commerce?

[d.healey]

@DanH I'm using this one https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/coupon-generator-for-woocommerce/

Coupon Generator for WooCommerce

Generate WooCommerce coupons easily and fast.

WordPress.org (wordpress.org)

[DanH]

@orange @d-healey thanks both. Should I be wary of using custom fonts?

[orange]

@DanH In that plugin, there is no option for the custom fonts.

You set the coupon conditions (product name, discount type/rate, usage limits...etc.) and it will create the codes automatically.

[DanH]

@orange Oh sorry haha! I mean in general for web design, is it ok to use custom fonts? Like if perhaps the user doesn't have the font installed, will it lead to issues?

[orange]

@DanH On the webste we are using Google fonts. Although these fonts are not available in some countries (such as China), web browser shows standart fonts automatically.

[DanH]

@orange Thank you :)

So I'm trying to edit the woo commerce checkout page. I tried some free apps quickly but they weren't great so trying to do it with some CSS code I found. I'm stuck on how to make a border in certain sections - whatever I change doesn't do anything below - wondered if you knew what i should look like:

form.woocommerce-EditAccountForm.edit-account {
 
            border: 0 !important; /* trying to edit this stuff and failing */
 
            background: #d8d8d8; /* this is the main background color for all forms */
 
}

@DanH

Inspect the page with the right mouse click (on the Chrome or Safari...etc) to look at the css class of the element and modify it. Watch the parent css class that may override the rule.

Also maybe this will help: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48156681/get-the-login-and-register-form-side-by-side-in-woocommerce

To add/override the custom css rules globally, you need to go to the "Customize > Additional CSS" section on the WP Admin panel.

@orange I think your website is one of the best I've seen so far.
Have you designed yourself or a design company? Which one?

Thank you for compliment. I am sure there are much better ones. Yes I designed it myself with using WordPress. I've also shared my tips for a WP web site here:

@DanH Wordpress + WooCommerce combination will be great and classic. Shopify is more like "in-the-box" all in one solution when it is compared to WP. Not qui...

Is there an easy way / plugin for users to subscribe (fill out a form etc) and receive a unique coupon?

[Matt_SF]

@DanH do they have to be unique? For a new subscriber you could simply send a 'welcome[amount]' coupon...

[DanH]

@Matt_SF yes they do. Seems like Mailchimp can do it, though would prefer a free option!

@DanH
The Newsletter plugin can be used for automatic responder emails. I am not sure if the free version can handle this though.

I am using this (premium version) with Amazon SES and sending 100k emails cost only a couple of dollars :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I’m using sendy.co and Amazon SES. Works like a charm

[DanH]

@orange thanks, yes I have it too, was thinking of upgrading to the paid version at some point anyway so will see if it can hande unique coupons.

@hisefilo will check this too :)
