 * Hie joloshop,
    window.location.href is used to fetch current URL. You have to
   assign URL to it, if want to redirect to some other page. To redirect to some
   other page please try script like this :
 *     ```
       <script>
       window.location = "https://www.google.co.in”;
       </script>
       ```
   
 * -OR-
 *     ```
       <script>
       window.location.href = "https://www.google.co.in”;
       </script>
       ```
   
 * Hope this will solve your purpose.
    Thanks

       <script type="text/javascript">
       window.setTimeout(function() {
           window.location.href = "<?php echo get_clpr_coupon_url( $post ); ?>";
       }, 2000);

 * What are you expecting `<?php echo get_clpr_coupon_url( $post ); ?>` to be?
 * At the moment it’s `http://gutscheincloud.info/gutscheine/otto-10prozent-rabatt-
   4`, which is the page you linked to. So it gets stuck in a loop.

 * Please use below code.
    It is running absolutely fine.
 *     ```
       <script>
       window.setTimeout(function() {
       window.location.href = "https://www.google.co.in";
       }, 2000);
       </script>
       ```
   
 * If this doesn’t work for you, means <?php echo get_clpr_coupon_url( $post ); ?
   > is creating some problem. Kindly echo that and see is you are getting the value
   you are expecting or not.
 * Thanks
