Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install via **Plugins Add New** in your WordPress admin 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen 3. Navigate to **WooCommerce Order Statuses** to configure your first custom status ## FAQ ### Will my custom statuses work with HPOS? Yes. The plugin is fully compatible with WooCommerce High Performance Order Storage( HPOS / custom_order_tables). ### Are orders editable in custom statuses? Yes. By default all custom statuses allow order editing. You can disable this per- status in the Options panel. ### Does this use WooCommerce native emails? Yes. All email notifications are registered as standard WooCommerce email classes. They appear in WooCommerce Settings Emails and are compatible with popular email customizer plugins. ### How do shortcodes work? Shortcodes like `[order_number]` or `[customer_first_name]` can be placed anywhere in the email Subject, Heading, or Body. They are replaced with live order data at the moment the email is sent. The shortcode helper panel in the editor lets you click any shortcode to insert it without typing. ### What does [order_items] output? [order_items] renders a styled HTML table containing all ordered products, quantities, and prices — plus a total row. The header color automatically matches your WooCommerce email accent color. ### What happens if I delete a custom status? All orders in that status are automatically moved to the fallback status (configurable in Settings, default: On Hold). ### Can I import statuses from another site? Yes. Use the Export button in the Status list to download a JSON file. Then use Import on the target site — existing slugs are skipped to avoid duplicates. ### How does auto-transition work? When an order enters a status that has auto-transition configured (and the global switch is enabled), a WP Cron event is scheduled. After the set number of hours, the order moves to the target status — but only if it is still in the original status. Manual status changes are never overridden. ### How long can a status slug be? The slug (without the `wc-` prefix) can be up to 47 characters. The full key stored in the database (`wc-` + slug) must not exceed 50 characters. The editor enforces this limit automatically. ### Is the plugin compatible with WooCommerce Blocks / cart and checkout blocks? Yes. Block compatibility is declared via the WooCommerce FeaturesUtil API. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Onlinefotka Order Status Manager for WooCommerce” is open source software.
