WordPress functions should return updated result for donation, form and donor

[ravinderk]

Details

PDF receipt add-on email tags stop working with the recent GiveWP version. The donor does not get the receipt pdf link in the donation completion email when donating with the Stripe credit card. I discovered that WordPress returns result from an object cache (if exists) for a given post type. WordPress maintains a post object cache only if the post is updated with WordPress functions. WordPress does not update object cache if we update donation, form, and donor with a direct SQL query. To prevent frequent issues about the inconsistent results from the WordPress function, either we have to flush the cache with clean_post_cache or update the cache with update_post_cache.

Expected Behavior

The WordPress get post functions should return live results.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Activate the PDF receipt add-on and GiveWP
2. Add {pdf_receipt} email tag in donor new donation email notification
3. Donate with Stripe credit card payment method
4. View the pdf recept link in the email notification.

Acceptance Criteria

• [ ] PDF receipt add-on returns correct result with GiveWP.
• [ ] WordPress get post functions returns correct result.
• [ ] Add PHPUnit test
