WooCommerce Blocks 4.4 Release Notes

There’s a new version of WooCommerce Blocks! Version 4.4.0 is now available on WordPress.org and GitHub.

This release includes several small tweaks and bug fixes across our blocks to fix markup issues and improve accessibility.

One minor change theme authors may need to be aware of is that the star ratings markup within the All Products block no longer uses the classname star-rating. This is to prevent conflicts with themes using this class to add star icons which conflict with the icons that blocks adds. This component can still be targeted with the classname .wc-block-components-product-rating.

Additionally, behind the scenes there have been compatibility improvements in preparation for subscriptions support, and in preparation for widget areas coming soon to WordPress core, the All Products Block (and related filter blocks) have been disabled in widget areas until we have a better idea on how to support them properly.
