Navigating WooCommerce Custom Order Statuses: Keeping Your Action Buttons in Place

WooCommerce is an incredible e-commerce platform that many businesses rely on for managing online sales. But sometimes, creating custom features like order statuses can present challenges. One common issue that arises is when you add a custom action button in the WooCommerce admin order list, it inadvertently causes other buttons to disappear. A typical scenario is when you introduce a custom order status, such as "Ready to Dispatch," yet the standard "Complete" action button vanishes after selecting your custom status. Let’s dive into how we can solve this problem effectively.

Understanding the Problem

When you create a custom order status, it's essential to ensure that all related action buttons remain visible to users in the admin panel. After the custom action is performed, users expect to have the option to complete an order. However, as you might have encountered, clicking on the custom action button can lead to the default "Complete" button disappearing.

Solution: A Step-By-Step Guide

To retain the "Complete" button after changing to your custom order status, we need to make some adjustments to the existing code used to manage order actions in WooCommerce. Below is a structured approach and the necessary code modifications.

Step 1: Registering a Custom Order Status

First, you need to register your custom order status using the appropriate WooCommerce function. Replace the older init hook with woocommerce_register_shop_order_post_statuses for optimal results.

Step 3: Adding The Action Button CSS

Lastly, if you'd like to personalize the appearance of your custom action button, you can include a CSS snippet within the admin area. This step is optional and primarily for aesthetic customization.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can efficiently maintain the "Complete" button visibility alongside your custom order status actions. This not only improves functionality in the WooCommerce admin, but it also enhances the user experience for order management.
