What’s in this release

Fix for frontend style inheritance

🛠️ Resolved unintended color inheritance in store frontends #55366 and #55412

The 9.6.1 release included updates to WooCommerce’s brand colors in the admin interface. We received reports that in some themes, these admin color updates were unintentionally affecting store frontend styling. This release ensures that admin styling remains properly scoped and prevents any unwanted inheritance of admin color values in store frontends.

Areas addressed include:

  • Secondary color calculations.
  • Legacy checkout payment methods display.
  • Price slider widget styling.
  • Link hover states.

If you experienced any unexpected color changes in your store frontend after updating to 9.6.1, upgrading to 9.6.2 will restore your intended theme styling.


Thank you for submitting #55165, Syllie, and thank you to all those who helped test this issue before it was released.
