Edit Order “Order – March 9, 2022 @ 07:35 PM” < Site Title – WordPress

    Lately I’ve been noticing that when I view the Edit Order page under Woocommerce, that it saying in the title:

    “Edit Order “Order – March 9, 2022 @ 07:35 PM” < Site Title – WordPress”

    Whereas I though two recall that it used to just say Edit Order < Site Title – WordPress or maybe reflected the order number in the title?

    Is this a recent change, did a plugin/theme do that or is there something odd going on in my configuration?

    Yes, I tried disabling all my plugins and themes but it didn’t go away. So that to me feels that it shouldn’t be a plugin or theme. Perhaps its just standard behaviour? So I’m asking the community for their view.

    Hi @stoelwinder,

    You have got a good eye 🙂. To be honest, I’m not aware of how it was before but I can confirm that’s the default title as I’m seeing exactly the same in my Edit order page. If it can be helpful, you’ll find the changelog here:

    Yeah I had gone to the changelog as well, but couldn’t find a single remark regarding changing page titles and also do not see the immediate benefit of that change. It looks more like a bug to me to be honest. What would be the best way to report this and get it resolved in future releases?

    Hello @stoelwinder,

    Given that the title will only be displayed in the backend and customers won’t see it, I’m not sure this can be considered a bug. The title simply reports the order date and time when it was placed and if you want to change it you’d need to use some custom coding.

    Check out this thread where a developer provided a code to update the title in the backend admin pages. For order post types you need to use shop_order. I’ve tested the code and it’s working.

    If you do require more help with the actual coding, we’d recommend hiring a developer or one of the customization experts listed at https://woocommerce.com/customizations/.

    Cheers.

    Dear Mirko,

    Thank you for your guidance and suggestion. I tested out the provided script, but this will also change the text at the top of the page, instead of only the title.

    I guess in that case, since its a change in functionality and not something that is considered a bug, I’ll just have to leave it as it is. Its just odd as I recall it used to show the order number (actually useful information) instead of the date and time (which is barely visible in the tab title).
