@webtoffee We resaved the settings and now admin seems to get the PDF. Thanks. may be we had not saved it right last time. So roughly when can we expect the fix on PDF size? Or any quick fix that you can provide? Thanks

@webtoffee Thanks. Ya we have set Processing Status for email. But customer does receive the attachment, administrator receives mail without PDF. Let me try setting some other email or some other installation and get back. Thanks for the update.

Thanks for the update on PDF size fix.

@webtoffee – Yes when we set Processing the PDF does generate and is sent only to the customer. We also want one copy to be sent to the Admin. Is it not possible to send one email to the admin too? Or any suggestions how we could add admin email support to this? As its very difficult to login and generate PDF invoice each time for our records.

Secondly, regarding size of PDF generated. Why is PDF size very big? Usually around 900KB! If I go to Print Invoice and then save that as PDF then size is just 100KB!
Any suggestions to reduce size of PDF?

Yes the new update that you provided fixes this issue. Thanks a lot

Thanks. Have sent you an email with details.

Any way I can send the site URL privately? Thanks

@webtoffee Can you guide what order status results in PDF invoice generated and attached in email? And is it possible to just define only admin and not to customer?

@lorro Just to inform – the code which I mentioned works. Thanks for the link to docs and now the errors have gone.

@stephjacq @lorro – Thanks but then how can we find what process is generating this every minute? I checked WP Crontrol and it shows this

wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/libraries/action-scheduler/classes/ActionScheduler_QueueRunner.php:52

So I believe its woocommerce which generates this cron every minute.

In WP Crontrol it says – Recurrence – Every minute
Hook name – action_scheduler_run_queue

Thanks @emrevona Have disabled preload. Can you guide what this actually does? I read a bit and from what I understood, each time a cache is generated there is a delay in load times when someone visits a page.

4 Pages per minute

@lorro – ok will test it out and see if it works fine. Thanks for your help. As its a live site I am a bit concerned as if it goes wrong will affect orders on live site. Thanks

@jnashhawkins Thanks a lot for your detailed insights and observations on the issue. I did some investigation and yes my site uses WordPress wp mail and I observe that (as this has many events and people submit a form to register for event) at that time CPU usage seems to increase. So does it when users try to check out on Woocommerce. If none of the functions are being performed then site loads really fast so do you think if I were to remove wp mail and say use some external smtp like SES or 365 etc then the load on the server could reduce drastically? Thanks in advance.

@barryhughes-1 Thanks for your suggestion of building events by day. But even with default setup if you see this image which I shared

Ongoing Events by Date – for individual dates too it does not arrange events by time. It arranges first by date then by time. I checked the link you shared

https://wpshindig.com/events/2019-08-07/

And that does arrange it a bit different. I think the demo shared is of the pro version and when you add recurring / ongoing events in Pro most possibly its creating multiple posts for the same event and thus what you have is 1 post per date and thus it automatically arranges each date by time and thus result is correct. Why I think you are creating multiple posts is because when I click on a Event – it shows a date after each URL. In my case I dont see any date after each URL.

Like this –
https://wpshindig.com/event/womens-javascript-study-group/2019-08-14/

https://wpshindig.com/event/womens-javascript-study-group/2019-08-21/

In my case the URL ends here –
https://wpshindig.com/event/womens-javascript-study-group/
[nodate after url]

Now if you are creating so many posts – wont that affect performance for example if you have 10 events running for 1 month – if you are creating 1 post per date it means for 30 days you create 30 posts X 10 events which is 300 posts!

I am not sure how your pro version works but my understanding is based on the URLs I checked as I think 1 URL = 1 post. Kindly correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.

@barryhughes-1 Thanks. Sure I will add the request to uservoice, but I think this functionality should have been in the plugin by default! Mainly because you definitely want events ordered by time for each day. Like there are multi day events so people want to schedule based on start time.
