Tell us what you are trying to do?
On checkout of a certain product type (tied to Toolset Commerce) I want to change the value of the Payment Status toolset custom field.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
I have this function in place and I wonder if it immediately obvious why my field value is not being changed?

function payment_complete( $order_id, $old_status, $new_status ){
if( $new_status == "completed" ) {

$user_id = get_current_user_id();

$args=array(
'post_type' => 'song-contest-entry',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => 1,
'author' => $user_id
);

$current_user_posts = new WP_Query ( $args );

//LOOP START
if ( $current_user_posts->have_posts() ) {

while ( $current_user_posts->have_posts() ) { $current_user_posts->the_post();

$payment_status = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'wpcf-paymentstatus', true);

if ($payment_status == 'Unpaid') {

update_post_meta( $post_id, 'wpcf-paymentstatus', 'Paid' );

}

}
}

//LOOP END

}
}

add_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_changed', 'payment_complete', 99, 3 );

Is there a similar example that we can see?
Not that I am aware of.

What is the link to your site?

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

The steps and the logic used in your custom function seem correct.

If the custom field value is not updated when the order status is changed to 'completed', I recommend performing line-by-line debugging to see which part of the code is working and which isn't.

You'll find some useful information on using the debugging error log for such troubleshooting:

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.
