Product Bundles 7.0.0, Composite Products 9.0.0 and All Products for Woo Subscriptions 5.0.0 will be released on March 5th, 2024. These updates make all three extensions compatible with PHP 8.3, but include a change in how product properties are handled that third-party developers should be aware of.
Release Notes
Introducing PHP 8.3 Compatibility
These new versions make Product Bundles, Composite Products and All Products for Woo Subscriptions compatible with PHP 8.3 by:
- resolving all PHP 8.3 notices,
- properly declaring class properties that were previously not declared and;
- using the new controller to handle (set, get, delete) properties on WooCommerce Core objects that were previously dynamically declared. You can learn more about this change below.
For Product Bundles, the new controller is:
WC_PB_Product_Data.For Composite Products, the new controller is:
WC_CP_Product_Data.For All Products for Woo Subscriptions, the new controller is:
(more…)WCS_ATT_Product_Data.

Hi everyone! We have an important update regarding the release of WooCommerce 8.6.
Originally slated for today, February 13, 2024, we’ve made the decision to postpone the release to Thursday, February 15, 2024. This adjustment is crucial as we aim to ensure the utmost quality and stability of the upcoming release.
Reason for delay
The reason behind this delay is a discovery within WooCommerce 8.5.2 that impacts larger stores with significant order volumes. Specifically, when utilizing Order Attribution Tracking., navigating to an order from a customer with 25,000+ orders may result in site instability, leading to a 500 error. More details can be found in this Pull Request.
Rather than proceeding with today’s launch and potentially necessitating a subsequent patch release, we’ve opted for a brief postponement to conduct thorough testing and ensure a smoother rollout. We appreciate your understanding and patience during this process.
What happens next?
We’re targeting Thursday, February 15, 2024, for the release of WooCommerce 8.6. As always, we’ll keep you informed of any developments through this blog.
Thank you
We extend our sincere appreciation to our community member, @seldimi, who also identified the issue early on. Your contributions are invaluable to us, and we’re immensely grateful for your assistance.
Thank you for your continued support and cooperation.

Hello everyone!
WooCommerce 8.6 RC is now available for testing! You can either download it directly from WordPress.org or install it via the WooCommerce Beta Tester Plugin.
What’s new in WooCommerce 8.6?
In addition to the highlights mentioned in the 8.6 Beta, WooCommerce 8.6 also includes:
Bringing back classic notice templates for classic themes
With WooCommerce 8.5, we introduced the block notice templates for classic themes. This introduced a breaking change to customised classic notice templates, due to different CSS classes and a different HTML markup. As a result of that, notice templates that have been customised for classic themes, stopped working.
With this release, we’ve reverted this change. When using a classic theme, the classic notice templates will be used, and when using a block theme, the new block notice templates will be used. The classic notice templates are located in
plugins/woocommerce/templates/noticeswhile the block notice templates are located inplugins/woocommerce/templates/block-notices
Default Fallback Marketing Channel Recommendations in WooCommerce Plugin
Before this release, when “Marketplace suggestions” is turned off in WooCommerce Settings > Advanced > Woo.com page, marketing channel recommendations will still be fetched from woo.com API and be displayed in WooCommerce > Marketing page.
In this release, marketing channel recommendations in WooCommerce > Marketing page will be displayed using data bundled in WooCommerce plugin, without making requests to woo.com API.
This behavior is in line with other features such as payment gateway suggestions and shipping partner suggestions.
Marketplace suggestions feature is turned off.

This release contains 5000+ commits from 63 contributors in WooCommerce Core.
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.
Please note: this release contains a known issue that may cause fatal errors if the Marketplace feature is disabled. Learn more about this issue and workarounds.
We have rolled back the stable tag to version 8.4.0. This temporary measure is to halt further updates to version 8.5.0 until we implement a necessary fix. As a result, the option to update to 8.5.0 will not be available during this period.
We will make an announcement once the fix is released.What’s new in 8.5.0?
WooCommerce Blocks has been merged into WooCommerce Core
This means there will no longer be a separate feature plugin release for WooCommerce Blocks and WooCommerce Blocks development will take place in the WooCommerce Core monorepo instead of a separate repository. You can read more about this change here.
New WooCommerce-related commands in the Command Palette
We added several WooCommerce-specific commands to the Command Palette with the goal to speed up your workflow when performing certain WooCommerce tasks. Those include commands to create products and orders, navigate to specific product pages, or view certain analytics reports or setting pages.
The Command Palette is a new tool introduced in WordPress 6.3 that makes it easy to perform certain actions from the Post, Page, and Site Editors by simply pressing Ctrl+K and typing the command you want to perform.
Order Attribution: tracking order sources
The new Order Attribution feature allows you to determine the source of the orders in your store, which helps you make more informed decisions about where to invest both time and money. This new feature enhances information available in:
The Orders Table
The Order Edit Page
The Order Attribution setting is located under WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > Features. This feature is enabled by default for new and existing stores.
PRs related to these changes

For a complete list of the changes included in this release, please see the changelog in the readme for this release.
Known Issue
Right after we released WooCommerce 8.5.0 and before this post was published, our users reported a fatal error after upgrading to the new version – #43406.
We will work on a fix for this issue. In the meanwhile, you can follow the workaround kindly shared by Karthik Naik here:
WooCommerce -> Settings -> Advanced -> Features -> Marketplace
If this marketplace option is disabled in 8.4.0 or lower version of WooCommerce, and the plugin is updated then getting a fatal error.
If I enable this option and then update the plugin to 8.5, everything works fine.
Karthik NaikThe issue appears after upgrading to WooCommerce 8.5.0 when the Marketplace feature located in WooCommerce -> Settings -> Advanced -> Features -> Marketplace is disabled. Enabling the checkbox for this feature before you upgrade should prevent the error. Kudos to Karthik Naik for this solution and sharing it with the community so quickly!
In the meanwhile, we have reverted the stable tag to 8.4.0 in order to prevent more updates to 8.5.0 until the fix is in place. We will make an announcement once this fix is released. Thanks for your understanding.
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.
