How do I set default order status for woocommerce

@kaxad
No need to use plugin. Simply add below functions in your active theme’s function.php file.

function ahir_register_new_order_status() {
    register_post_status( 'wc-new-order', array(
        'label'                     => 'New Order',
        'public'                    => true,
        'exclude_from_search'       => false,
        'show_in_admin_all_list'    => true,
        'show_in_admin_status_list' => true,
        'label_count'               => _n_noop( 'New Order (%s)', 'New Order (%s)' )
    ) );
}
add_action( 'init', 'ahir_register_new_order_status' );

// Add to list of WC Order statuses

function ahir_add_new_order_to_order_statuses( $order_statuses ) {
 
    $new_order_statuses = array();
 
    // add new order status after processing
    foreach ( $order_statuses as $key => $status ) {
 
        $new_order_statuses[ $key ] = $status;
 
        if ( 'wc-processing' === $key ) {
            $new_order_statuses['wc-new-order'] = 'New Order';
        }
    }
 
    return $new_order_statuses;
}
add_filter( 'wc_order_statuses', 'ahir_add_new_order_to_order_statuses' );

Now check edit order page in backend and you will see new Status in dropdown, Please test with test order and see the result!

Okay so for that you need to use second function in my above comment.

make sure your already status have key: $new_order_statuses[‘wc-new-order’]
