# Discount codes keep going “inactive”

 * The status of the discount codes keep going to “inactive”. I thought it had something
   to do with the recent automatic WP updates but it happened again today. I was
   informed that the discount code wasn’t working and sure enough, when I checked,
   it had once again switched to inactive.
 * I have set them to active again, and will watch to see what happens today. But
   perhaps I am doing something wrong?

 * We’re still working on identifying exactly what is causing this. In the mean 
   time we have decided to disable the cron job that goes through and checks for
   expired / inactive codes.
 * Are you comfortable editing a PHP file? I can show you which one to edit to remove
   the cron job.
