Order Status History Options
Please note that plugin must be enabled at the time order gets its initial status. If you open order’s admin edit page, you should see “Order Status History” meta box:
Order Status History – Empty
Order Status History – Filled
- Empty order status history
-
Plugin must be enabled at the time order status change occurs, so there is no order status change history on initial plugin install. This can be solved by using order creation (or modification) date instead (i.e. instead of real status change date). This is ignored for orders with available real status change history. Possible values: Do nothing; Use order date created; Use order date modified.
Default value:
Use order date modified - Non-matching order status
-
If order status is not properly changed (e.g. by some plugin), it may happen that current order status does not match the last record in order status change history. In this case order status rules will not be applied. You can change this behaviour here. Possible values: Do nothing; Use latest record anyway.
Default value:
Do nothing
