Tips & Tricks
If “Actions” column is missing in admin “Orders” list – please go to your “Orders” list and there in the top right corner is “Screen Options” button. If you click it, you will be able to enable/disable columns (including “Actions”).
Please note that if you are using plugin’s “Default order status” option, you may stop receiving some standard WooCommerce emails. This happens because triggers that send default WooCommerce emails are related to order status changes. For example “Processing order” email is sent on these order status changes: from failed to processing, from on-hold to processing, from pending to processing. And “Order on-hold” emails are sent on: from pending to on-hold, from failed to on-hold. So if you change the default order status, emails are never triggered. Possible workaround would be to create new email in plugin’s “Emails” section that would look like standard WooCommerce email.

It is a poor plugin, there are a lot of hickups in the statusses and isn’t compatible with pdf and packiging slips or other plugins.

It is messing up your whole databse as soon if you decide not to use it anny longer.
