Troubleshooting

If something isn’t behaving as expected, use the checks below. Most issues come down to trigger status, product configuration, or cached admin views.

Fast check

Confirm the order reached the configured trigger status and the product has production tracking enabled.

Jobs are not being created

  • Confirm the order status matches the trigger status in WooCommerce → Settings → Production.
  • Confirm production tracking is enabled for the product in the Production Queue tab.
  • Place a new test order after making changes (don’t rely on older orders).
  • Check if the order contains products that are not configured for tracking.

Jobs are created, but attributes are missing

  • Confirm the product has the correct attributes selected for inclusion in jobs.
  • Confirm the order line item actually includes the chosen attribute values.
  • Check Screen Options to ensure the attribute column is enabled.

Status or priority updates don’t save

  • Confirm you’re logged in as an admin or shop manager.
  • Try a hard refresh of the admin page.
  • If you use a security plugin, ensure it isn’t blocking AJAX requests.

The queue feels slow

  • Reduce the “jobs per page” setting.
  • Use filters to narrow the list.
  • Make sure server resources are adequate for your WooCommerce admin.

Order changes created unexpected jobs

  • ProdQueue reconciles jobs when order items change.
  • If an order moves backwards in your workflow, you can recreate jobs from the order actions.
  • Cancelled jobs remain as history so you can audit what happened.

Tip

Enable debug logging temporarily while reproducing an issue, then disable it again once complete.
