WooCommerce Orders Being Trashed

    We noticed today that WooCommerce orders are being deleted (put in the Trash) by the WooCommerce system. The website has WP Activity Log and going through those logs, I can see multiple instances of logs like this:

    "EditorLinkOrder: https://420now.co/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wc-orders&action=edit&id=15023
    OrderID: 15023
    OrderStatus: trash
    OrderStatusSlug: trash
    OrderTitle: #15023 Ella Marsh
    UserData: array ( 'username' => 'System', )
    ClientIP: 108.162.241.184
    Severity: 300
    Object: woocommerce-order
    EventType: deleted
    UserAgent: WordPress/6.7.1; https://420now.co
    Username: WooCommerce System"




    I’m also seeing large number of orders that have had their status changed from Completed to Pending Payment – and inside the order, the customers’ details are all missing.

    When trying to restore the orders in the Trash, they end up being restored but their status is marked at “Cancelled.” These orders do have the Customer information.

    Other observations: The website was switched to using HPOS tables probably around early January but still has “Enable Compatible Mode” enabled. There are 859 orders syncing as of the moment I write this.
    There are a large number of “Fatal Errors” in the WooCommerce logs that are all similar to this:

    Uncaught InvalidArgumentException: Unidentified action 3325964: we were unable to mark this action as having failed. It may may have been deleted by another process. in /var/www/vhosts/420now.ca/420now.co/wp-content/plugins/action-scheduler/classes/data-stores/ActionScheduler_DBStore.php:1185 Additional context{ “error”: { “type”: 1, “file”: “/var/www/vhosts/420now.ca/420now.co/wp-content/plugins/action-scheduler/classes/data-stores/ActionScheduler_DBStore.php”, “line”: 1185 }, “remote-logging”: true, “backtrace”: [ “”, “#0 /var/www/vhosts/420now.ca/420now.co/wp-content/plugins/action-scheduler/classes/abstracts/ActionScheduler_Abstract_QueueRunner.php(134): ActionScheduler_DBStore->mark_failure()”, “#1 /var/www/vhosts/420now.ca/420now.co/wp-content/plugins/action-scheduler/classes/abstracts/ActionScheduler_Abstract_QueueRunner.php(112): ActionScheduler_Abstract_QueueRunner->handle_action_error()”, “#2 /var/www/vhosts/420now.ca/420now.co/wp-content/plugins/action-scheduler/classes/ActionScheduler_QueueRunner.php(188): ActionScheduler_Abstract_QueueRunner->process_action()”, “#3 /var/www/vhosts/420now.ca/420now.co/wp-content/plugins/action-scheduler/classes/ActionScheduler_QueueRunner.php(158): ActionScheduler_QueueRunner->do_batch()”, “#4 /var/www/vhosts/420now.ca/420now.co/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(324): ActionScheduler_QueueRunner->run()”, “#5 /var/www/vhosts/420now.ca/420now.co/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(348): WP_Hook->apply_filters()”, “#6 /var/www/vhosts/420now.ca/420now.co/wp-includes/plugin.php(565): WP_Hook->do_action()”, “#7 /var/www/vhosts/420now.ca/420now.co/wp-cron.php(191): do_action_ref_array()”, “#8 {main}”, “thrown” ]

    I have created a clone of the site and disabled all plugins to see if I can find out what is going on but am seeing similar fatal error there as well.

    Another observation – there are a large number of orders that have also has their status updated to “Pending Payment,” but in these orders, all customer info including name, email address, billing and shipping information is completely missing.

    Hi @ianhughscott ,

    I’m sorry to hear about the issues you’re experiencing with your WooCommerce orders. That sounds frustrating! I’m happy to help you sort this out.

    A good first step is to check how long pending and canceled orders are being retained. You can do this by going to WooCommerce > Settings > Accounts & Privacy and looking at the “Retain pending orders” and “Retain canceled orders” settings. If these are set too low, WooCommerce might be automatically removing orders before you expect. You can adjust them if needed to keep orders from being trashed too soon.

    Give that a try, and let me know if you’re still running into trouble!

    Thanks for your reply. I have a better idea of what is going on now, and have it almost resolved. I’d post more about the issue, but am in the middle of continuing to work on it, but I’ll mark this as close.

    Your solution would not have worked, but I do appreciate very much for your time and effort. I’ll mark this as resolved as I have things figured out.

    Hello Ian Scott,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I am glad to know that you have figured out the problem and are close to resolving the issue.

    It would be great if you could share the solution with us here once you have fixed the problem.
    That would be helpful for the WooCommerce community.

    Have a great day!
