One of the more frequent issues that we hear about day to day is that WooCommerce is not sending emails for new orders (or any emails at all). There are several reasons that this may be happening.

While we do have...
Every day that I get a CrossFit workout in, I like to record that on my site, Level Up CrossFit. But that is a time consuming task that I have less and less time for. I don’t want to stop doing that, so I decided to add some custom fields so that entry is easier and formatting is all done. Enter Advanced Custom Fields. This plugin makes it very simple.

In WooCommerce you can use WooCommerce Services to make tax calculations easier. This uses the TaxJar API to do that for you.

For traffic based firing of Cron, I suggest using JetPack Monitor. It solves this limitation easily and effectively. For troubleshooting when WooCommerce Subscriptions Not Renewing (or other Cron based scheduled events) I like to use WP...
If I remove a product or a product variation from my store, will that effect past Subscriptions based on the product I removed? I get this question a lot, and it makes sense. If you run out of stock, you don’t want to sell it anymore. Or what if you just want to discontinue a product, but still plan to sell it to folks who already have a Subscription?

Today I had a really great question about the Multiply all costs by person count option in WooCommerce Bookings. This can be a pretty confusing option. So no worries.
