Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Status Desk – Custom Order Statuses for WooCommerce version 1.6.8 as active, updated 17d ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
Status Desk adds your own order statuses to WooCommerce — “Packed”, “Shipped”, “Ready for pickup”, “Awaiting stock” — and helps your team move orders through them quickly.
Statuses
Create unlimited custom order statuses with a stable slug.
Badge color and icon in the orders list (text color is picked automatically for contrast).
Choose where each status appears in WooCommerce status lists.
Ready-to-use example: Packed → Shipped in one click.
Customer emails
Email the customer when an order moves to a custom status.
Each email is a regular WooCommerce email (WooCommerce → Settings → Emails): edit subject, heading, text and format, or switch it off.
Each status email goes to a customer only once per order, so an order moved back and forth does not send the same email twice. Send it again on purpose from the order actions.
Placeholders: {site_title}, {order_number}, {order_date}, {status}. The template can be overridden in your theme.
Faster order handling
One-click next-status buttons for your statuses, in the orders list and in the order preview.
Bulk actions: “Change status to …” for every custom status.
Order behavior per status
Treat orders as paid.
Let customers pay for the order (Pay button in My Account).
Keep order items and totals editable.
Include or exclude the status in WooCommerce Analytics and reports.
Show or hide the status in admin lists and filters.
Safe by design
A status cannot be deleted while any order still uses it — including orders in the Trash.
Built-in WooCommerce statuses cannot be overwritten.
Existing orders are never changed automatically.
Switching from another custom-status plugin? Import its statuses with one click, then deactivate it.
Compatibility
High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) and legacy order storage.
Cart and Checkout blocks (the plugin does not change checkout).
No external requests, no tracking, no custom database tables.
