We are using this plugin on the site included. We changed the setting on /wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpo_wcpdf_options_page&tab=documents to use the invoice date not order date but the date still seems to be wrong. Can you confirm how the plugin determines the invoice date? We are trying to make it so the invoice date matches a custom order status change. I.e. Complete-pending payment. Therefore the invoice date and 30 term starts from this date. Please advise. The page I need help with: [ log in to see the link] The date format is based on the format set under the Settings > General tab in WordPress. The date itself is taken from the time the invoice was created. In the free version, the invoice is created when it is attached to one of the Woocommerce email notifications. Only the Professional extension can create the invoices based on an order status only. If you would like to learn more about this, email us at support@wpovernight.com , as we cannot discuss paid plugins on the forums. Thanks this is what I thought. The Invoice is attached too early in the order status chain. Therefore the data is wrong. I’ll test this and check if it fixes the issue.
