This version of WooCommerce has broken my WordPress dashboard functionality. I can no longer use the basic functions of WordPress such as ‘Screen Options’ menus and editor options for posts.

When I disable WooCommerce 4.3.2 the problems resolve. When I re-activate the problems return.

  I have pinpointed the plugin: WooCommerce Drop-shipping. It’s the plugin dependency that causes the fix when I disabled WooCommerce, but it’s this plugin that is breaking my admin site.

    Hi boondoge, we’ve investigated the issue and it’s caused by the removal of the jQuery Migrate script from WordPress 5.5; turns out that the drop-shipping plugin uses one of the removed functions and needs the migrate script. We’re going to contact the developer of the plugin to request an updated version with a fix, but meanwhile installing this other plugin should fix the issue: https://wordpress.org/plugins/enable-jquery-migrate-helper , I hope that helps!

After update the general tab in variable products disappeared. I checked it in a different store and updated only Woo (with no WP 5.5 update) and the issue was the same. When I looked at the HTML of the page, the general tab is still there but it is set t display: none.

  Hi Kris and wvisadmin
  
  Sorry to hear you’re having issues. As noted above, if you are experiencing issues, please try to follow the general troubleshooting steps (https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-self-service-guide/) and if that doesn’t help, please let us know the details of your problem in GitHub (https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&template=4-Bug-report.md&title=). We are not seeing the same issue, so we need further information on how to reproduce the problem. The tabs are getting displayed/hidden as store admin switches between the tabs (1 is displayed, rest is hidden), so there is something preventing this from working correctly I think. However, it’s difficult to tell what it might be without more info.
  
  Thanks!

  Hi collinmlungisi,
  
  Sorry to hear you’re having issues. There were some Javascript changes that came with WordPress 5.5 and not all the plugins have updated accordingly yet. Your problems sound like they might be caused by errors in Javascript. Please try if the following plugin helps you in the meantime (before other plugins update): https://wordpress.org/plugins/enable-jquery-migrate-helper/
  
  If it doesn’t help and you’ve also tried to troubleshoot your store without any luck, please open an issue on GitHub for us: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&template=4-Bug-report.md&title=

    Hi Peter Fabian
    The plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/enable-jquery-migrate-helper/ worked all seems to be fine for now. I am able to add new products and variations.
    
    Thanks a million.

    Same happened to me. AND it charged one of my customers the amount for the first variation in lieu of the much higher amount he should have paid. I’ve installed the Migrate Helper plugin and the variable product data is now accessible again, though I occasionally get the following warning at the top of the page:
    
    jQuery Migrate Helper — Warnings encountered
    This page generated the following warnings:
    
    https://www.assamteas.shop/wp-content/plugins/xa-woocommerce-subscriptions/admin/js/hf-woocommerce-subscription-admin.js: jQuery.fn.load() is deprecated
    
    Sadly, some of the technical adjustments you guys are referring to are being my current understanding.

  I have the exact same problem. No product data drop down menu all of a sudden. I also installed and activated the Enable jQuery Migrate Helper plugin. Does not change anything.

After updating the WordPress to 5.5 and WooCommerce to 4.4.0. Then it is hiding the WooCommerce product data type.

We know, we can only add variable product, grouped product etc with the help WooCommerce product data type option. So the option for product data type are missing from the WooCommerce due to this plugin effect.

While checking the activated plugins, I found one plugin is removing the admin body classes, this is root cause of the issue. WooCommerce is displaying the product data type by checking the admin body class.

So I have deactivated the plugin for avoiding the conflict.

In order to check this conflict you just need to check wc-wp-version-gte-55 is available on the admin body class. If not then any of the plugin or theme is removing the WooCommerce added body class. So I recommend you to deactivate the plugin by one by one and find out the root cause.

WooCommerce is adding the admin body class using the below filter tag.

add_filter( ‘admin_body_class’, array( $this, ‘include_admin_body_class’ ) );

You can also do plugin wide search with tag admin_body_class, so you can find-out which one is removing the added body class. If you prefer you can deactivate the plugin or contact the plugin author.

  Sorry, we don’t do those. But it would be very helpful if you could make a screen recording, upload it online and then create a bug report in our github repository: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&template=4-Bug-report.md&title=

What has happened to the product data virtual and downloadable buttons on the add new product section? Can’t find it anywhere. I send my clients PDF files content courses.

  Hi Carolyn, the checkboxes to create virtual and downloadable products should still be there.
  Please check your browser console for any potential errors as I have a guess that one of your plugins might be incompatible with WordPress 5.5. Installing a plugin called Enable jQuery Migrate Helper: https://wordpress.org/plugins/enable-jquery-migrate-helper/ might help you until all your plugins get updated to support it.

  Hi,
  
  Please update to latest WooCommerce and, if you’re on WordPress 5.5 try to install the Enable jQuery Migrate Helper: https://wordpress.org/plugins/enable-jquery-migrate-helper/
  
  If that doesn’t help, please try to perform conflict resolution with your plugins, as described in this useful doc: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/how-to-test-for-conflicts/

Hello, it seems that Woocomm is not working with our site… breaking the site, actually… ever since we updated our WP to 5.5.1. We spoke to our host, InMotion, to troubleshoot and he told us it is indeed the woocomm plugin and that this issue has been common lately. We depend on the woocomm plugin because we run an ecomm store, so we need this fixed asap. I have emailed Woocomm but have yet to hear back. Is there any way you would be able to help with this issue? Thank you!

Hi, how is it going with the plugin guys? I want to install it on my clients WordPress site, but I’m kind of scared it will damage or delete all the product’s data.

  Hi,
  
  There is no known issue where the plugin deletes user data, so you should be safe. That being said, it’s always a good idea to use a backup solution (such as Jetpack backup, or provided by your hosting provider), as different plugins might not anticipate how they might affect each other. As much as we try to avoid this happening, no software is free from bugs. Hope you’ll have smooth sailing with Woo!
