If you only performed a small change, like adding a custom field, for instance, my recommendation is to use the [customizer](https://docs.wpovernight.com/woocommerce-pdf-invoices-packing-slips/using-the-customizer/), included in the [Premium Templates](https://wpovernight.com/downloads/woocommerce-pdf-invoices-packing-slips-premium-templates/) to do this (and switch to the Simple Premium template, that it’s always up-to- date), or the [PDF template action hooks](https://docs.wpovernight.com/woocommerce-pdf-invoices-packing-slips/pdf-template-action-hooks/) instead (switching to Simple template), this way you no longer have to worry about updating the code from your custom PDF template: We keep our templates updated for you! * Thread Starter [forkmedia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/forkmedia/) * (@forkmedia) * [3 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invoice-amounts-alignment/#post-15861708) * I just compared my old custom template to your new Simple template. I’m surprised you still don’t automatically include a separate field group for Shipping Address. In over 30% of our orders, that data is different, so we want that to show up on the invoice and packing slip. On my old custom template everything else is pretty much the same as your Simple Template but adding the shipping address required shifting some elements around. * Honestly, I don’t remember how we set this up way back when (I just looked in my notes: it was Version 1.4.3 in July 2014!). And looking at the plug-in’s settings page, I don’t see how we add the Shipping Address to the Simple Template – there is an option that costs money and there are the action hooks, but looking at the explanations how to do this, it makes my head hurt since there are so many options. * I know this is second nature for you – easy peasy – but I guess if I were asked, I’d have to say the thing I’ve liked least about this extension is that its been updated so many times I find it difficult to use all the new stuff since I am not a programmer. I guess the simplest thing for me is to go back to just re- upload version 2.16 and ignore the constant barrage of updates. According to my quick count, since Version 1.43 there have been over a hundred updates. I have some WP plug-ins that have only been updated a few times in that period and they all work fine. * Hey, sorry about the rant. If asked, I’d still rate your plug-in FIVE ***** STARS! * Plugin Contributor [Yordan Soares](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yordansoares/) * (@yordansoares) * [3 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invoice-amounts-alignment/#post-15861940) * Hi [@forkmedia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/forkmedia/), * > I’m surprised you still don’t automatically include a separate field group > for Shipping Address. * We do have a setting for that! Please go to **WooCommerce > PDF Invoices > Documents > Invoice**, find the **Display shipping address** setting, and select **Only when different from the billing address**: * ![Shows the Display shipping address setting](https://i0.wp.com/i.ibb.co/YWxy1zj/ PDF-Invoices-Display-shipping-address-setting.png?ssl=1) * > Honestly, I don’t remember how we set this up way back when (I just looked > in my notes: it was Version 1.4.3 in July 2014!). * Wow, it’s surprised that it was still working: This says a lot about the backward compatibility of our plugin! 😛 * > And looking at the plug-in’s settings page, I don’t see how we add the Shipping > Address to the Simple Template – there is an option that costs money and there > are the action hooks, but looking at the explanations how to do this, it makes > my head hurt since there are so many options. * I understand how frustrating it can be to find some settings or achieve certain customizations. That’s why we are always looking to provide more options to our users. For developers, we provide hooks that allow them to modify the plugin. For all other users, there are several options included in the plugin settings, and [a couple of premium extensions](https://wpovernight.com/downloads/woocommerce-pdf-invoices-packing-slips-bundle/), if they want to do more advanced things without the need for code. * However, whenever you need help, please open a new topic in these forums and we will do our best to help you! * > I guess if I were asked, I’d have to say the thing I’ve liked least about this > extension is that its been updated so many times I find it difficult to use > all the new stuff since I am not a programmer. * I agree with you: Having updates too often can be exhausting. However, we strive to pack as many improvements as we can into as few releases as possible to avoid this. Still, it’s hard not to send updates as often as we do, especially when WooCommerce or the library we use to process PDFs are updated so quickly. * Although we tend to add new options with some frequency (you could actually ignore them if you don’t need them), we also included security patches and added compatibility between plugins (mainly with WooCommerce). My recommendation is to always update all your plugins to the latest version, especially plugins as crucial to your business as WooCommerce or ours. Not only for compatibility issues, but especially for the security of your site, and consequently, of your customers. * For your specific case, if you use the default Simple template, you won’t have to worry because we always keep them updated. That’s why I was asking the reason for using a custom PDF template: I wanted to help you achieve the same thing using our default template and not have to worry about updating this for yourself in the future. * > Hey, sorry about the rant. If asked, I’d still rate your plug-in FIVE ***** > STARS! * We appreciate these comments because they help us to improve the plugin every day! * By the way, since you mention it, if you don’t mind and have the time, do you think you could [leave us a review](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce-pdf-invoices-packing-slips/reviews/#new-post)? * Thanks in advance and all the best with your store! * Thread Starter [forkmedia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/forkmedia/) * (@forkmedia) * [3 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invoice-amounts-alignment/#post-15862058) * I wrote: Honestly, I don’t remember how we set this up way back when (I just looked in my notes: it was Version 1.4.3 in July 2014!). * You replied: Wow, it’s surprised that it was still working: This says a lot about the backward compatibility of our plugin! 😛 * Actually, vwersion 1.43 was the first time I installed it.
