 * WordPress Version 4.9.7
    WP to Buffer Version 3.3.7
 * I have installed the plugin. When I create a product using the API ( wcapi.post(“
   products”, data).json()) I now get a timeout when creating the products.
 * When I turn off this plugin I no longer get this issue.
 * How does this plugin work?
 * When a new product is created will a call to buffer be done during the creation
   of the product within the dialog process?

 * The plugin hooks into the `transition_post_status` action, and will attempt to
   send a status update to Buffer, if:
    1. The Product is transitioning to `publish` for the first time
    2. You have one or more status messages defined in the Plugin settings for the 
       Product Publish action
 * If this is resulting in a timeout, you will need to liaise with your web host
   to ensure that connections to Buffer’s API can be made smoothly.
