I would say this issue qualifies needing a last resort technique since they are removing it. What else can I do?

The one question I have is "why"? Clearly there's a need and demand for it, why is it not even considered being made optional, with warnings about not doing it or what have you. Why is it simply removed, with no options and so on.

Hey Fatkhur! This is likely an error related to your SMTP server. Do you receive anything in your spam folder? Also, what settings do you have under General Settings > Mail (tab) ? Are you using SMTP or PHPMailer?

Hey Sudipto Mahmud! Damo is correct. At the moment, the series 9 only supports PHP 8.2 and PHP 8.3. So keeping with PHP 8.3 is suggested.

Hey Juanzo. I am afraid this is correct, per the series v9.

It is not wise to edit DB data directly as it might create unknown consequences. There might be dependencies and conditions, for example, if the invoice is in draft state, some other value might have to be x, and it isn't, it might start throwing errors on your WHMCS or cron job. Edit the DB records directly only when it is a last resort; this is not something you create a module to edit the invoice every other day. The best way is to use WHMCS internal APIs to call and update things, but again it won't work as invoice edit is blocked.

No to the first part of your question. You can manually change the invoice back to Draft in the database. Then you can edit it just fine.

Themes updated to latest WHMCS version.

Yes, it is mentioned on their official website docs. They could have easilly added a checkbox settings to enable/disable this but they chose to enforce it so badly.

Yes, but whmcs does not display search results for all TLDs. As such, both providers and clients cannot choose from all TLDs. Try it and let me know if you see all TLD results for the exact keyword searched (not those unwanted suggested keywords)

Spotlight domains should be acutely focused on a small number. If you don't add any then then all the suggestions will appear at the top

I have the same problem. How can a hosting solution not display all TLDs in search results in 2026 is beyond me. WHMCS really needs to sort this out. DOE is not really a solution. It's overprices just like whmcs and margins on TLDs are too small to justify that spend.

Whats stupid is as a developer this is as simple as adding a checkbox to the config to allow us to choose ourselves. I've never in my life understood why software companies lock you in, instead of giving you the option. You keep increasing prices year after year and you want us to stay with you, but if you keep doing this crap most of your base is not gonna find value in your ever increasing prices.

You can also use options like Stripe Invoicing, PayPal Invoicing, or Razorpay Payment Links, which all generate ready-to-pay invoices for customers. In billing systems like ModulesStack/WHMCS, manual gateway modules and invoice-based plugins give even more flexibility for custom workflows. These options make it easy to send invoices, track payments, and let customers pay whenever they are ready.

For the current 9.x versions, no it does not. https://docs.whmcs.com/9-0/installation-guide/system-requirements/

Hello, Does WHMCS compatible for PHP 8.4? Is it safe to change PHP 8.3 to PHP 8.4?

This actually is working after all. My desktop browser (Chrome / Win11) just doesn't scroll to the new content added to the page when a link is clicked.

are there any plans to update this? like i know i can do this via phpmyadmin but id be concerned it may break things internally surely they have a plan at some point?

Also when trying to submit a new here none of the links are working, so it is impossible to contact WHMCS in any other way than these forums.

What is going on around here?!

Thank you for that. Although the statement page now loads, the statement is not correct. This example client currently has "credit" to the value of $224.50 but the statement shows a balance of $0.00. This release causes serious accounting issues. When will WHMCS address this? @WHMCS John has gone AWOL since these issues were first getting reported. Surely someone at WHMCS can make a statement and provide a fix or regression release.

@WHMCS Rex is it true that the only solution now, $allow_adminarea_invoice_mutation = true; in configuration.php, will be removed in future versions?

Welcome to the common sense reasons why were frustrated about WHMCS enforcement of preventing us from editing our OWN invoices we created in the first place. Credit / debit is useless in real world standard practice. If they want to provide a switch to disable editing published invoices or changing status fine, but dont force it on the customer base. That's dumb.

Thank you, but you've left the price post and all the comments referring to it (including mine and yours and this one). May wish to remove references?
