    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.

    Upcoming PHP Requirement Change

    While 7.9.0 continues to support PHP 7.3, we want to remind you of an announcement we made recently regarding the upcoming change that will require PHP 7.4 beginning with WooCommerce 8.2.0.

    If you’re currently using PHP 7.3, this release adds a dismissible notice reminding you of the upcoming change (#38604).

    Read our announcement post for full details.

    What’s new in 7.9.0?

    Mini Cart Block Settings

    We’ve updated the Mini Cart Block editor sidebar to improve its appearance and ease of use. Existing features are preserved, but with a much more professional look and feel. You can see it in action below!

    The Mini Cart Block Settings

    New Patterns

    We’ve prepared multiple block patterns for products that are available from the block inserter. Here’s a preview of a few of them in action:

    Chessboard style product details
    Product Details
    Another alternative view for product details

    Enable Single Product block

    We are introducing the Single Product block, which will allow you to select and display any product on a page, post, or template.

    Enable blockified templates

    The blockified version of the Single Product, Product Catalog, Product Search Results, Products by Attribute, Products by Category, and Product By Tag templates are now the default template on new plugin installations and for stores enabling a block theme (replacing the old classic template).

    Below is illustrated how the migration strategy works:

    Additionally, you can enable or disable the blockified templates through the Site Editor.

    Actions and Filters

    This release adds one new action and one new filter.

    Action

    ActionDescription
    woocommerce_admin_order_data_after_payment_infoHook allowing extenders to render custom content within the Order details box.

    This allows urgent notices or other important order-related info to be displayed upfront in the order page. Example: display a notice if the order is disputed. [Source]

    Filter

    FilterDescription

  • WooCommerce 7.9.0 was scheduled for release today, July 11, 2023. To allow for some additional testing and monitoring on our end we’ve decided to delay the release.

    We don’t currently anticipate this will be an extended delay. As always we’ll announce the release of WooCommerce 7.9.0 on this blog when it is released.

  • The latest version of WooCommerce Blocks, version 10.6.0, is now available for download on WordPress.org and GitHub.

    Notable Changes

    Cart, Checkout, and Order Confirmation templates are now available in the Site Editor for block themes! These templates enhance your editing experience for the checkout flow by enabling editing the entire page, including header/footer customization.

    The Cart, Checkout, and Order Confirmation templates shown in the template list in the site editor

    Also, with this release, we removed the word beta from the compatibility notice in the Cart and Checkout Blocks to show merchants that these blocks can be considered stable.

    Below you can see the before and after screenshots of the compatibility notice. The corresponding PR can be found at https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-blocks/pull/10019.

    The Filled Cart block's inspector controls showing the "beta" wording removed from the information panel.

    New settings added to the Mini-Cart

    We are adding three new settings to the Mini-Cart block, giving you more customization options and allowing merchants to personalize the color of the price, icon, and product count to match their preferences.

    A screenshot of the Mini Cart Block's inspector controls showing color controls for the Price, Icon, and Product count

    Image size settings added to the Product Image block

    The Product Image is receiving three new settings that allow merchants the width, height and scale for the product image.

    A screenshot of the Product Image Block's inspector controls showing the image size and scale controls

    Added product count setting for filter blocks

    We added a new setting that allow merchants to display or hide the product count for the following blocks: Filter by Attributes, Filter by Stock, and Filter by Rating.

    A screenshot of the Filter by Stock Block's inspector controls showing the "Display product count" control
