Troubleshooting: Cancel or Return Buttons Are Not Showing

Troubleshoot missing cancel or return buttons in WooCommerce customer accounts, order pages, or admin screens.

Applies to 1.4.1+ Stable Verified July 29, 2026

If customers cannot see the cancel or return button, check feature status, allowed order status, time limits, and existing requests.

Check the License

The plugin features require an active license. Go to YoOhw Studio → Licenses and confirm the license is active.

Check the Feature Is Enabled

For cancellation, check WooCommerce → Settings → Orders → Cancellation. For returns, check WooCommerce → Settings → Orders → Returns.

Check Allowed Status

The current order status must match the allowed statuses configured for the feature.

Check Time Limits

If a time limit is set and the period has passed, the button is hidden.

Check Existing Requests

The plugin hides actions when the order already has a cancellation or return request waiting for review.

Check Virtual Orders

If virtual-only returns are disabled, the Return order button is hidden for orders containing only virtual items.
