Solution: To get past a memory limit error, run the commands with:  

php -d memory_limit=-1 bin/magento setup:di:compile
php -d memory_limit=-1 bin/magento setup:upgrade
php -d memory_limit=-1 bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f
php -d memory_limit=-1 bin/magento indexer:reindex

Question: After installation, the payment methods do not show up on the admin panel?

Solution: You may have to enable the module. 
After installation, the status of the wipay credit card and voucher modules can be checked using the following commands:

php bin/magento module:status Wipay_Credit
php bin/magento module:status Wipay_Voucher

The modules can be disabled using the following commands:

php bin/magento module:disable Wipay_Credit
php bin/magento module:disable Wipay_Voucher

The modules can be enabled using the following commands:

php bin/magento module:enable Wipay_Credit
php bin/magento module:enable Wipay_Voucher

If the above commands did not work try clearing the cache. On the Magento admin panel, go to System > Tools > Cache Management and click the ‘Flush Magento Cache’ button. 


Question: How to change order state and/or status? 

Solution:

  • A successful payment results in a “Processing” order state and “Processing” order status. An unsuccessful payment results in a “Canceled” order state and “Canceled” order status.
  • To view orders and their states go to Sales > Orders on the admin panel. On this page you can click Action > View to see the details of any order.
  • When viewing the details of any order you can change the state by clicking any one of the following buttons:
    • Edit: the current order will be canceled and duplicated into a new one
    • Cancel: delete order
    • Send email: send an email with order details to customers
    • Hold: change order state to On Hold
    • Invoice: change order state to Processing
    • Ship: change order state to Complete (after submitting shipment)
    • Reorder: resubmit the same order

Note: These options change the order state and each state can be assigned by multiple statuses (you may add custom order statuses). For example, for Pending state, you can create two statuses: SM Pending and SH Pending, so you can change the status for this order into either SM Pending or SH Pending under “Notes” for any Order. (Note that the state of this order is still Pending).


Question: How do I perform cache management on my website?

Solution: Go to System > Tools > Cache Management. 
Ensure the status of each cache type is enabled, if not select it by clicking the checkbox.
Select the refresh option and hit submit.
