Why am I getting a warning to create “Suppliers” attribute?
While active the plugin relies on the Suppliers Product Attribute.
If this is not present, you will receive a warning until you create it.
What actions should I take before deactivating?
As the Plugin registers order statuses, on deactivation these statuses will no longer be displayed in WooCommerce.
Before deactivating you should re-assign existing orders to a standard order status.
Do I need to re-assign orders if just checking for plugin conflicts?
No, if you temporarily deactivate the plugin you may notice missing orders, but they are still in the database and the queues/statuses will reappear when the plugin is reactivate.
How can I recover missing orders without reactivating the plugin?
You can update each orders (post) status via the database.
Because this is a more advanced topic we won’t cover exactly how, but it’s pretty easy. Make sure to take a backup before editin database entries.
What if I want to change the slug for a supplier?
You can update the slug via Product>Attributes>Suppliers>
But before doing so you should re-assign any orders using the existing slug to another status.
What if I already changed the slug without first updating orders?
Again it’s not a major problem, either change the slug back, re-assign orders, then update it again.
Or, you can update orders (posts) directly in the database.
