 * I’m using WP 3.6 w/ the latest version of PM Pro.
 * While everything previously worked fine, I now get an error message: ‘Error applying
   discount code [1]’ whenever I try to apply a coupon code.
 * I’m using a custom template for my checkout page; it was built around version
   1.6. Were there any changes in recent versions that might be causing this breakage?

 * Hi, Chris!
 * Yes. There were some updates to the checkout page that you’ll have to incorporate
   into your older checkout template.
 * Namely, we upped the timeout from 2000 to 5000. So that might help (this sometimes
   shows up when the AJAX request times out). There is a filter there now as well
   to override it.
 * The other change made is that the AJAX calls are made to admin_url instead of
   home_url. Sometimes your home_url might be a static page that isn’t loading WP
   or processing PHP/etc.
 * Here’s the bit you’ll want to look at:

 * And the same update to some similar code further down the page:

 * Thanks so much Jason. I’ll get these fixes incorporated and report back if/when
   it all works again.
 * Thanks!
