Notifications Emails Not Sending Out

Update:

What I realized is that WooCommerce is able to send out receipts if I manually send them out while editing any order. (Order Actions dropdown) However, how can I ensure the order is AUTOMATICALLY delivered? Also, the admin is not receiving any notification emails. The “enable this email notification” checkbox is checked for all notifications.

This will work around it https://gist.github.com/mikejolley/16ca078f5c74b401e6ba210644e3173d Still trying to gain access to an affected site to debug the deferred mailing.

Dude, you’re a freaking genius! LOL I added this to my child theme’s functions.php, since that file loads before and in addition to the regular theme’s function.php. I mention this for those who don’t realize that modifications to their main theme’s functions.php are erased upon theme update.

add_filter( 'woocommerce_defer_transactional_emails', '__return_false' );

Thanks for your help. I wonder why WooCommerce didn’t see that bug? Or is it just in certain scenarios?

For those wondering, I am using WooCommerce version 3.0.1 and WordPress version 4.7.3.

Oh, if you need access to debug, let me know privately and I’ll be happy to assist.

Does this also address the fact that the admin is not receiving emails?
