WC Backorder Split

Changelog

2.3.3 - 2026-10-05

• Fix - Closing the review request with its X now hides it for 14 days for that user instead of returning on the next Dashboard load.

2.3.2 - 2026-10-05

• Fix - Orders with several items sharing the same stock, such as variations whose stock is managed on the parent product, now split correctly. Each item used to count the full stock, so these orders were not split at all.

2.3.1 - 2026-10-01

• Fix - Variable products now split correctly. Stock was read from the parent product, which has none when stock is managed per variation.
• Fix - Orders placed with the Checkout block are now split. The plugin did not run during block checkout.
• Fix - Raising a quantity in the cart before checkout no longer moves in-stock items into the backorder order or marks the whole order backordered without splitting it.
• Fix - An order where nothing was in stock now just changes status instead of leaving the original order empty.
• Enhancement - Errors are logged to WooCommerce > Status > Logs instead of the server's PHP error log.
• Enhancement - WooCommerce 11.1.2 compatibility.

2.3.0 - 2026-08-22

• Feature - Asks for a review on the Dashboard once the plugin has been used, with a link that pre-selects a five-star rating. Shown only after three orders have been split, dismissed per user rather than for the whole site, and never shown again once dismissed.
• Fix - The deactivation feedback dialog no longer leaves its button stuck on "Processing" if the request fails; deactivation proceeds either way.
• Security - The backorder success notice no longer reveals whether an order id exists to users who cannot edit orders.
• Fix - Order links in the backorder notice and the linked-orders panel now work on stores using High-Performance Order Storage. They used the legacy post editor URL, which does not resolve once orders live in their own tables.
• Fix - The deactivation feedback dialog is translatable again. Its text passed a text domain to a function that ignores the argument, and the domain named a different plugin.
• Security - Escaped the deactivation dialog's markup and its inline script.
• Enhancement - Declared compatibility with the Cart and Checkout blocks, verified against the order path WooCommerce's Store API actually uses.
• Enhancement - Adopted the WPHEKA framework for the HPOS declaration and plugin bootstrapping.
• Enhancement - Requires PHP 8.1 and WordPress 6.5. WordPress 7.1 and WooCommerce 11.0.1 compatibility added.

2.2.0 - 2026-05-06

• Enhancement - Backorder order creation now suppresses WooCommerce emails to prevent duplicate new-order and processing notifications.
• Enhancement - Backorder order now inherits all standard order fields: currency, prices include tax, customer IP, user agent, transaction ID, date paid, date completed, and stock reduced flag.
• Enhancement - WooCommerce order attribution and VAT exemption meta fields are now copied to the backorder order.
• Enhancement - Line items are cloned (not re-added via add_product) preserving product variations, custom fields, and all item-level meta data.
• Enhancement - Per-unit prices are captured before any order mutation so discount-adjusted totals remain correct on both orders.
• Enhancement - _reduced_stock meta is now split proportionally between the original and backorder order items.
• Enhancement - Address indexes (_billing_address_index, _shipping_address_index) are now copied to the backorder order for correct address search results (HPOS-aware).
• Enhancement - Both orders are scheduled for WooCommerce Admin analytics re-import after a split so revenue reports stay accurate.
• Enhancement - Added wcbs_meta_fields_to_copy and wcbs_disable_emails_on_split filters for developer extensibility.
• Fix - Stock quantity 0 at cart time now correctly removes the item from the original order instead of leaving it duplicated across both orders.
• Fix - Removed erroneous add_item() call after in-place source item update that caused calculate_totals() to double-count the item.

2.1.0 - 2026-02-17
