    I want to change the order status immediately when an order is placed to on hold if an order contains products from a category.

    I have created a rule to change the order from pending payment to on hold when the order contains items from that category.  However, when I create test orders they do not trigger the rule. Further, when I  use the tools menu to run the rule, it also DOES NOT trigger the rule.  Am I missing a parameter?

    Thank you.

    I have now attempted to add the 8 products to the trigger rather than the product category.  It still wont trigger the action immediately (0 seconds) upon order created.

    At the advice of the developers post here: https://wpfactory.com/support/topic/what-is-the-difference-between-cron-and-action-scheduler/

    I have disabled both periodic options and have the trigger set as “order status changed” ( I have also tried a thank you page trigger, didn’t work). I have tried to change processing to on hold and I have tried pending payment to on hold. Neither will trigger immediately.

    Next I tried to trigger by using a product tag.  Also will not trigger immediately.

    Further, Manually triggering the rules has only worked periodically. I have yet to find a combination of rules that will trigger manually every time.

    I think this Plugin is great, and exactly what I need to solve this problem, However, I have tried 20 different combinations of the same thing and nothing works.  Is there anyone who can help me get to the bottom of this?
