Troubleshooting

1. Emails not being sent
   • The plugin uses the WordPress wp_mail() function. Make sure your WordPress site is able to send emails.
   • If emails are not delivered, install and configure an SMTP plugin (e.g., WP Mail SMTP) to improve email deliverability.
   • Verify that you have entered valid email addresses in the plugin settings.
   • Make sure the stock quantity is actually below the threshold you set.
2. CSV Import not working
   • Ensure your CSV file has the correct format:
   • Save the file as CSV (Comma Separated Values), not Excel or another format.
3. Low stock products not showing in the list
   • Double-check that the product’s stock is managed in WooCommerce (Enable “Manage stock” in product settings).
   • Confirm that the threshold value is set correctly in the plugin settings.
4. Plugin settings not saving
   • Make sure you have the proper admin permissions.
   • Clear your browser cache and try again.
