Additional question:

How to avoid the chat giving random, wrong answers like that:

Q: “Do you carry batteries?”

A: “Yes, we carry a variety of batteries on our website. We offer different types of batteries such as alkaline, lithium, and rechargeable batteries in various sizes and capacities. You can browse our selection of batteries on our website and choose the one that best suits your needs. Additionally, we also offer battery holders and battery chargers to help you power your electronic projects.”

But the answer is WRONG, we do NOT carry batteries. We only carry 2 different models of lithium cells.

Why is the AI telling we would carry batteries in various sizes, and even alkaline batteries? There is no such information anywhere on our website.

I get the feeling that we will not be able to use an AI chat bot. Answers are just odd and wrong half of the time. The bot makes up content that is not on our website, which will drive visitors crazy.

Okay, I was able to create a Pinecone account and set everything up. Indexing is running fine, the first answers are promising. Clearly, the vector database is the way to go!
Thank you.

Thank you, I almost thought so. Unfortunately, Pinecone is not accepting new users (customers) due to “extreme high demand”. I hoped there would be a more reliable way to set everything up than to use a service that is obviously on its limits. I heard about different vector database models, not only Pinecone, but it seems like that other ones are not supported by AI Power. It means, waiting for being accepted by Pinecone is my only choice?

Blah blah blah. No, your team will not fix the problem. Only telling me that they can’t fix the problem. When your system flags my newly opted-in emails and refuses to send my newsletter to them, and your staff tells me that there is no overwrite that manually, then I need to say that your product is out of control. Out of human control. Welcome to the new world, when computer dictate what to do.

Sorry Alexis, but to try to stand up for an employer that is obviously not worth your efforts. If you are a person that loves to provide good support to customers, you should hire for a company that actually want’s to provide support instead of telling its customers that support is not possible.

I deleted my account for good. No reason to try any marketing tricks on me.

Thank you to provide the link to your demo. It is perfect when it comes to adjusting fonts and sizes. Unfortunately, your plugin has the same issue as all the other ones: When a page break needs to be added because the invoice has a lot of items, then the page break rips the totals block apart (there should never be a page break be allowed in the totals block) and there is no header on the next page and the footer is not where a footer is supposed to be, at the end of the page, but right underneath the totals block.

If an invoice needs to have a page break, then every page MUST have a header or footer showing the invoice number, date and billing address as the absolute minimum.

Unfortunately, it seems like no PDF invoice plugin for WooCommerce offers these minimum requirements.

“backorders are only permitted to a specific user role, and at the same time it will be available only for certain products”

Yes, you got this right! I want to be able to enable specific products for backorders to specific users even if the product itself is set to “no backorders allowed”.

The problem with custom code is, that we have nobody to take care of it. We avoid custom code like the plague and always look for a plugin to handle the job. Especially when it requires a child theme. Then we need to pass. Just because of our staffing situation.

Everything seems to work. Thank you.

The plugin is dead. Just as Tony Roberts said. Not doing anything.

Thank you for your reply. I will try your code another day. But it looks like the summary block is always printed completely on one page if the standard theme is selected. The problem with the ugly page breaks seems to be related to the “Simple Premium” that we are using.

You said “This is a feature already included in the Professional extension: Bulk export tool. It allows you to export PDF documents in a more granular way, as a zip or directly to Dropbox, as individual files. See Using the Bulk export tool”.

Unfortunately, this is not an acceptable workaround (for us). We select invoices from the WooCommerce order list, and print from there. This is our procedure, and we have reasons not to use a cumbersome workaround like filling out a filter for exports, exporting to somewhere, opening the file etc. WAY too difficult.

We print batches of 13 invoices, which will ship together with the orders.
It would be a blessing if your plugin would:
1. generate separate PDFs for every order, even if selected in bulk
2. would add a page break before the totals block in case the block will not fit entirely in the page
If your plugin could generate separate invoices instead of one large PDF file, even adding a repeating header, a page number to the footer, and double-sided printing would be possible. Maybe you can add a switch to the settings where the user can select bulk print into one or multiple files. This would resolve just all the problems at once.

Another addition: the weird pagebreak even happens when a single invoice is printed, not only when I print in bulk. I am sorry but it looked like it would work now, until I printed again a single invoice with only the last two lines of the summary block on a new page.

Hi I need to modify my answer. The problem with the weird page breaks is NOT gone, and it was not related to another plugin. The glitch still exists. So annoying! And since I know that printing repeating headers and page numbers will also not work when bulk-printing invoices, I will look for an alternative. It does not look like you will fix these issues anytime soon.

See the break page between page 7 and 8 in this bulk invoice file:
universal-solder.ca/downloads/invoices-2022-08-22.pdf

Thank you so much for your support. The weird page breaks are gone after switching to a different theme with more features included, which in return enabled me to remove about 10 plugins. The problem was most likely caused by one of the plugins, the HELLO or re:hub Elementor theme.

Thank you for the PHP code to include the pagination. I tried it, but as you already mentioned, it is not useful for me. I always print 15 invoices in bulk (not more to reduce server load). I hoped you could tell me how to print these invoices in single files rather than one large file, to be able to print double-sided and save paper. But you explained that your plugin only offers something like that when using Bulk Export. I will see find out if this is helpful for me.

Hi @webtoffee

as I said in my initial post, I am using the Re:hub theme (Elementor).

None of the 3 possible settings had any effect on the way the related products are shown.

I removed the related products section using Yellow Pencil, and added custom related products using the plugin Related Products for WooCommerce from PeachPay.

Unfortunately, PeachPay announced to stop supporting this plugin soon, and then I would need to find one that works AND is supported.

Hi @janilyn409
thank you very much for your answer. I will try the Bundles plugin.

Take care!
