Hi,

Thanks a lot for the feedback. We will look in to that.

When you want to change anything for the design or sidebar or anything else, you can copy the “template” folder from the deals engine plugin and paste it in to your theme’s folder and then rename the folder to deals-engine.

Then you can easily change the design as you like and you won’t lose anything with the next plugin update.

I hope that helps.

Here’s what to do. Log on to your CPANEL

1)Copy the ‘templates’ folder from wp-content/plugins/deals-engine/includes and paste it to wp-content/themes/nameofyourtheme and rename the folder ‘template’ into ‘deals-engine‘.

2)Open the ‘deals-engine’ folder that you just renamed and edit any of the .php files listed below the sub-folders. For example you want to remove the sidebar display on the bottom of single-deal.php, open the file in the code editor, scroll down to the end of the file and look for

<?php endwhile; // end of the loop.

	//wps_deals_sidebar action
	do_action('wps_deals_sidebar');

	//get footer
	get_footer( 'deals' ); 

?>

Remove

//wps_deals_sidebar action
	do_action('wps_deals_sidebar');

Now, it should look like this:

<?php endwhile; // end of the loop.

	//get footer
	get_footer( 'deals' ); 

?>

Don’t forget to save your work. To check, go to your deals post if you have created a sample deal posting and refreshed the page. You should see the changes.

Do the edits to the other deals pages the same like above. Good luck!

Problem solved.
