I have existing code in the CSS code area and Custom JS is blank. Would I simply copy and paste the CSS code above below the existing code? I will brush up on CSS before I add anything.

This is a meta custom field ‘ sku_RE ‘ that is a second sku number. I added it by exporting the products as csv, adding a meta column and importing.

It was recommended that I do so because some of the answers may have been to suggest the paid plugin. After following the link below to add a custom field added with a code snippet, the invoices attached to ANY email do not show the custom field. However, when I click on the icon in the Woocommerce orders area, THAT invoice shows the custom field. I have tried the recommended troubleshooting and not been able to reason why the backend invoice and email attached invoice are different. * [https://docs.wpovernight.com/woocommerce-pdf-invoices-packing-slips/displaying-product-custom-fields/](https://docs.wpovernight.com/woocommerce-pdf-invoices-packing-slips/displaying-product-custom-fields/) * > > since WordPress doesn’t allow us to provide support or answering pre-sale > > questions for paid plugins in this forum * ```wp-block-code Using an action hook If you’ve never edited your themes functions.php before, make sure to read this first.

How could I send the PDF invoices in a later stage? It is automated. Do you mean manually? Or in settings/documents, under the Attach to: it says Disable for: ‘Select one or more statuses’. Is this what you mean? Or is that something I would enter in code? Do I want Woocommerce to wait to send the order email – New order (Admin email) so that it does so after the custom field has been added to the invoice? * I forward the New order email with the pdf invoice attached to the office once I check the order details. I added the custom field with a second sku number that helps to identify the product on the shelf (we also have a physical retail store). * At this point, I am opening the New order email, deleting the attached pdf invoice, logging into WordPress, downloading the pdf invoice and attaching it to the new order email that I forward to the office. Hopefully there is something I can do so that the PDF invoice that goes into the automated New Order email appears the same as the PDF invoice in Woocommerce. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WooCommerce] Meta – Custom Field illegal characters or syntax rules](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/meta-custom-field-illegal-characters-or-syntax-rules/) * Thread Starter [doctordisco](https://wordpress.org/support/users/discomidget/) * (@discomidget) * [3 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/meta-custom-field-illegal-characters-or-syntax-rules/#post-16780776) * I could not modify visibility of meta: custom fields in the admin backend until exported products to csv using the included export/import function. I clicked the box to ‘include meta’ changed the column header in Google sheets (to preserve file integrity) then imported, checking the box again. When it showed the columns being imported, it showed meta: sku_RE. By changing meta: stock# to meta: sku_RE, I fixed the compatibility error I was having and used code snippets and PHP to now see the meta custom field on orders.
