  • WooCommerce 7.3.0 is scheduled to be released January 10th. Compatibility issues have been discovered with WordPress 5.9 and certain Blocks.

    In order to release a bug free experience for WooCommerce, it will be best to delay the 7.3.0 release by a several days to allow time for fixes to be properly tested.

    See https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-blocks/pull/8136 for more details.

  • A new version of WooCommerce Blocks has been released! Version 9.3.0 is now available for download from GitHub and WordPress.org.

    This release contains a new customer account block, numerous minor bug fixes, and improvements that enhance the stability of certain blocks.

    New Customer Account block is now available

    This block contains a link to the Login and My Account pages and was added to the Header and Footer patterns. It’s possible to customize this block to be displayed as text-only, icon-only, or icon and text. You can also select the icon style.

    Customer account block selected

    Highlight incompatible payment gateways within the Cart & Checkout Blocks

    If you use any incompatible payment gateways, you will now get a warning notice in the editor side of the `Cart` & `Checkout` Blocks:

    In the `Payment Options` Inner Block of the `Checkout` Block, we also display a warning under incompatible payment gateways:

    Display “Add review” link when product has no rating

    If a product has no ratings, “Add rating” link appears instead of stars. The idea is to help preserve the layout and eventually be a consistent way to link shoppers directly to the rating results for the product.

    Product with Add review link

    Apply rate limiting to non-admin users only

    If you enable the rate limiting filter for Store API, it will only be applied to non-admin users. You can now edit our Blocks without being restricted by the rate limiting on the admin side!

    Various other bug fixes, enhancements, and updates to documentation are detailed in the changelog below.
