Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 4:54 pm

WooCommerce is a powerful eCommerce plugin for WordPress. It is very popular and is used by many online stores. One of the great features of WooCommerce is that it allows you to manage your orders as a post type. This means that you can view, edit, and delete your orders from the WordPress admin area.

However, some users have reported that they are unable to view their orders in the WordPress admin area. This can be a problem if you need to manage your orders from the admin area.

In this article, we will show you how to fix this issue.

The first thing you need to do is install and activate the WooCommerce Order Post Type plugin. For more information, see our guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

PRO TIP: If you are using WooCommerce with your WordPress site, you may have noticed that there is an “Order” post type. This post type is created by WooCommerce and is used to store information about orders placed on your site.

While it is safe to ignore this post type, you should be aware that deleting it will cause WooCommerce to lose information about any orders that have been placed on your site. If you need to delete the “Order” post type, you should first export your orders from WooCommerce so that you have a backup.

Once the plugin is activated, you will need to go to WooCommerce > Settings and click on the ‘Order Post Type’ tab.

On this page, you will see a list of all the post types that are available in WooCommerce. You need to select the ‘Orders’ post type and then click on the ‘Save Changes’ button.

Now you should be able to see your orders in the WordPress admin area. You can also edit and delete your orders from this area.
