Invoice PDF generation bug?

Hi Carles,
There are several different issues at play here, so I’ll take them one by one:

attachment settings
You write that you have check the “Customer Invoice email”, but this is not the email that is sent when the order is completed (you can send it manually from the order actions on the top right of the order edit page). Can you try checking the Customer Completed Order email?

my account settings
The default setting for displaying the download link in the my account page is to only show it when an invoice has been created. You can change this in the General settings tab.

download link not working
This one is indeed quite strange, I have not heard of this issue before. i don’t think it’s related to the temp folders, sounds like that’s good. Can you post the URL of the button here? Don’t worry, it will only work for the owner of the account and order. You can also change the domain name if you don’t want to disclose your site address.

Hello Ewout!

First of all, thank you for your great support.

I changed the invoice attachment setting to:
Attach invoice to: > Customer Completed Order email

I setted also: Allow My Account invoice download > Only for specific order statuses (define below) > Completed

I created a new order, and the completed email has the invoice attached right ??

but… on the “my purchases” page, the download invoice button fails, still redirecting me to the homepage… I checked the FTP again, and now the invoice PDF are on the folder /attachments.

Then, I go to the backoffice, and can get the invoice PDF right, the URL are:
https://www.xxx.com/testsite/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=generate_wpo_wcpdf&template_type=invoice&order_ids=2059&_wpnonce=f4094ac29e

And the front-end link to download are:
https://www.xxx.com/testsite/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=generate_wpo_wcpdf&template_type=invoice&order_ids=2059&my-account&_wpnonce=55f016f70e

The shop are running on a subfolder, maybe this cause the bug on front-end?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Carles,
I have no idea why it’s not working, I’m suspecting it’s either a plugin conflict (which you can only rule out by activating/deactivating plugins one by one, which is a tedious task…), or an issue with permalinks (not too sure about this one though…).

If it was a permissions issue, it would give you an error, so something is definitely interfering with the PDF creation process. Maybe a plugin is blocking front-end access to admin-ajax.php? (haven’t seen that before though).

Let me know what you find!

Kind regards,

Hello Ewout… it’s my fault, I’m a bit ashamed… sorry for waste your time, and thanks to appoint me on the right direction…

I will explain it, maybe can help someone:

In my e-shop, I block customers access to wp-admin side with a hand-made function on functions.php, but… what about wp-ajax? It’s inside wp-admin! one by one you should allow it! There is my code, blocking everything except Woocommerce + PDF invoice calls, that are allowed by param action:

function themeblvd_redirect_admin(){
if ( is_really_admin() && ! current_user_can( ‘edit_posts’ ) ){
wp_redirect( site_url() );
exit;
}
}
add_action( ‘admin_init’, ‘themeblvd_redirect_admin’ );

function is_really_admin() {
if (!is_admin()) return false;

$front_ajax = array (
//from woocommerce/includes/class-wc-https.php
‘woocommerce_add_to_cart’,
‘woocommerce_get_refreshed_fragments’,
‘woocommerce_checkout’,
‘woocommerce_update_order_review’,
‘woocommerce_update_shipping_method’,
‘woocommerce_apply_coupon’,

//Front-end access to invoices
‘generate_wpo_wcpdf’
);

if (defined(‘DOING_AJAX’) && isset( $_REQUEST[‘action’] ) && in_array( $_REQUEST[‘action’], $front_ajax ) ) return false;

return true;
}

No worries, I know how easy it is to overlook silly small things like this. Glad we could resolve this though!

If you have some time, I’d really appreciate it if you can leave me a review! Thanks!
