  • We are pleased to announce the release of WooCommerce 7.5.0. This release should be backwards compatible with the previous version.

    This release contains:

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

    What’s new in 7.5.0?

    Support for Style Book

    Gutenberg 14.8 introduced Style Book, which allows merchants, web developers, and site admins to preview individual blocks. With the WooCommerce Blocks 9.5.0 release, the Featured Product and the Featured Category blocks are available here. This will enable the preview of any global style changes applied to these blocks.

    Global Styles

    Besides previewing blocks within the Style Book, we also migrated various blocks away from hardcoded CSS towards Global Styles. Since WooCommerce Blocks 9.5.0, the Product Button, Product Rating, and Product Price blocks utilise Global Styles.

    The Product Rating block has gained support for padding global styles, making it easy to add spacing around it.

    Screenshot showing the tool to set specific padding to the Product Rating block

    New Blocks

    In addition to the Story Book and Global Styles improvements, we’re thrilled to introduce the following new blocks:

    • Store Breadcrumbs block: Provides a clear and easy-to-follow navigation trail, allowing users to quickly understand their location within the store and facilitating navigation to previous sections.
    • Product Results Count block: Displays the total number of products and how many are currently displayed, based on the global query.
    • Catalog Sorting block: Allows users to sort products within a category by various criteria, such as price, popularity, and newness.

    Multichannel Marketing (Beta)

    We add a new Channels card that displays a list of recommended channels and registered channels. Extensions will be able to register themselves as a marketing channel by integrating with the Multichannel Marketing library, and display basic stats about the channel.

    Actions and Filters Changes

    There are no action or filter changes this release.

    Template Changes

    There are no template changes this release.

    Database Changes

    This release contains two DB updates:

    1. We add two columns to the wc_order_stats table: date_paid and date_completed. Additionally, both of these columns are then backfilled by data from the postmeta table. #36492
    2. The experiment for the new product management feature is now turned off. Note that this will do a single update_option call, but only for very few stores that have it enabled. #36894

    Much 💜 to all the contributors

    Finally a big thanks to everyone in the community who has contributed via issue reports, fixes, translation, testing, supporting other users, or simply spreading the word.

  • The latest version of WooCommerce Blocks, version 9.8.0, is now available for download on WordPress.org and GitHub.

    Notable Changes

    Better performance and look and feel for the Mini Cart block

    With this release, we introduced many improvements to the Mini Cart block. Among others, it’s been optimized and has better performance. When opening the Mini Cart, the content shows up immediately, as it’s preloaded in the background while the browser is idle.

    The Empty Mini Cart button, which encourages shoppers to add products to the cart, now matches your theme styles.

    Improved Attributes filtering in Products block

    The new Products block now allows filtering products by attribute directly from the Editor interface. The experience has been enhanced by providing a user-friendly collapsible menu with attributes. Additionally, you can quickly filter attributes by typing their name. These enhancements provide a more streamlined experience for selecting the products you want to display.

    Also, when checking the attributes, there’s now a live preview of the products from the Editor perspective, which allows seeing how the block will be displayed in the frontend of your store.

    Improved margins in Products block patterns

    There are a number of available patterns using the Products block. All of them have now consistent and scalable margins.

    Here’s the list of available patterns to try out:

    • WooCommerce 1:1 Image 4-Column Products Row
    • WooCommerce 3-Column Product Row
    • WooCommerce 4-Column Product Row
    • WooCommerce Large Image Product Gallery
    • WooCommerce Minimal 5-Column Products Row
    • WooCommerce Minimal Product List
    • WooCommerce Product Gallery
    • WooCommerce Product list with 1:1 images
    • WooCommerce Product list with full product description

    Dev note

    In this release, we are adding two new filters for the Cart block, they are: proceedToCheckoutButtonLabel and proceedToCheckoutButtonLink.

    By using these filters, developers can alter the text and link of the “Proceed to checkout” button in the Cart. Our documentation has additional information on these filters and an example of how to use them.

  • Update: After releasing WC Blocks 9.7.1 we received some reports from the community that it was causing a fatal error in some stores. The issue could be reproduced in WordPress sites which didn’t have Gutenberg enabled. We started investigating it as soon as we learned about it and we released a fixed version soon after: 9.7.2.

    We really appreciate all the feedback and reports we received from the community, it really helps us make WooCommerce better! Thanks a lot for being a part of the WooCommerce community.

    A new version of WooCommerce Blocks has been released! Version 9.7.1 is now available for download from GitHub and WordPress.org.

    Notable changes

    New Blocks

    We’re thrilled to introduce the following new blocks for the Single Product Template. This is our first iteration to port over existing functionalities of the Single Product template to the Site Editor.

    • Single Product Details block: The block version of the product details in the Single Product Template. Merchants can now add product descriptions, information, and reviews to their stores.
    • Add to Cart Form block: The block version of the add to cart form enables merchants to display a button in single product templates. Options are also displayed depending on product type. e.g. quantity, variation.

    Disabling payment gateways stops associated saved payment information from displaying

    We have improved our payment system by preventing saved cards from displaying if the payment gateway that added them is disabled. This ensures that users only see available and enabled payment options, making the payment process more efficient and straightforward.

    Clearer Checkout Events in the Payment System

    We have made changes to the checkout events in our payment system to improve clarity and reduce confusion. Several events were renamed to improve their accuracy and clarity:

    • onCheckoutValidationBeforeProcessing renamed to onCheckoutValidation
    • onCheckoutAfterProcessingWithSuccess renamed to onCheckoutSuccess
    • onCheckoutAfterProcessingWithError renamed to onCheckoutFail
    • onPaymentProcessing renamed to onPaymentSetup

    Fix: Product categories, Product Tags & Keyword filters not working in the Products block

    The following filters should be working fine, which are available in the Inspector Controls of the Products block:

    • Product Categories
    • Product tags
    • Keyword

    Enhancements

    • Focus the coupon code input when the form is revealed in the cart. (8525)
