WooCommerce 4.7 is now available!

We are excited to announce that WooCommerce 4.7 is now publicly available! It has been in development since October 2020 and has been updated with 393 commits from 22 contributors.

This is a minor release, which means everything is backward compatible with the previous version.

Black Friday is coming up and we’re keeping this release small, focusing on stability and compatibility, with most of the updates being fixes.

As always, we recommend creating a backup of your site and making sure that themes and plugins are compatible before updating. You can check out this update guide for more information.

  1. Any news on the out of stock variation fix which was reverted back to default in 4.6 release?

    1. Hello, this feature is still under development, currently we don’t have a timeline for this feature.

  2. I bought the e-commerce version of WordPress.com and it has that version of WooCommerce. I’m trying to use Sensei Paid Courses to associate the products with the courses, but I can’t because the plugin doesn’t work. It says in the ‘State’ tab of WooCommerce that installed version is not tested with the active version of WooCommerce 4.7.0

    In a total of 20 plugins, including Facebook for WooCommerce and Google Ads.

    Any advice to get them working?

    1. Hello, there’s no major changes in 4.7.0, and plugins should keep working like before even that plugin developers didn’t updated to say that is compatible with 4.7. Note this mensage doesn’t say that is incompatible or doesn’t work, it just say if is tested or not, so you can use even if it says that isn’t compatible for now before plugin developers update it.
      I hope it helps.
