  • We are happy to announce the availability of a new build of the WooCommerce Admin feature plugin! If this is the first time you have heard about WooCommerce Admin, it is a new JavaScript-driven interface for managing your WooCommerce stores that is focusing on creating new and improved reports, and a dashboard to monitor all the important key metrics of your site. You can read more about the background of the project in our Alpha announcement post – or watch the keynote from WooSesh.

  • WooCommerce 3.6.3 is now available. This release fixes some small bugs that were reported in the last weeks, including a fix preventing bulk editing to set “out of stock” stock status incorrectly, and more.

  • Version 2.1.0 of WooCommerce Blocks is now available as a feature plugin. This plugin iterates on the blocks in WooCommerce 3.6, bringing in some features and performance improvements.

  • Storefront 2.5.0 has just been tagged for release and uploaded to WordPress.org. That means it should be available to download very soon!

    While 2.5 is not a major release, you should not update live sites without adequate testing on a staging site. If you are using any additional Storefront products (child themes and/or extensions) be sure to check for updates for them before updating Storefront.

    What’s in the box

    In version 2.2 we introduced support for WordPress 4.7’s Starter Content feature, a feature that provides a much richer experience when installing Storefront.

    In 2.5 we are expanding this feature to include a custom editable homepage using WooCommerce 3.6 blocks, and also the updated cover block introduced in WordPress 5.2.

    For most of its existence Storefront has included a “Homepage” custom template. While this provided a solution to a problem, any kind of customizations to the configuration of this template were only possible via plugins or custom code.

    Now with Gutenberg and the new WooCommerce blocks, creating custom homepages couldn’t be easier.

    Here’s what’s changed pulled directly from the changelog:

    * Feature - Updated Starter Content to make use of WooCommerce 3.6 blocks, and also the new cover block introduced in WordPress 5.2, to create a custom editable homepage.
* Tweak - Added edit link to post, pages, and products.
* Fix - Prevent overlap of site title and handheld menu button when not using a logo image.
* Fix - Added error styling to T&C checkbox and Country select in the Checkout page.
* Fix - Ensure all inputs use accent color set in the Customizer.
* Fix - Don't show sticky add to cart if product cannot be purchased.
* Fix - Added margin to view cart link in the "Added to cart" notice.
* Fix - Replaced CSS calc with Sass math when calculating block gallery column widths for better compatibility with IE11.
* Fix - Change color and size of "remove" icon in the Cart page.
* Fix - Change product pagination z-index for compatibility with PhotoSwipe.
* Fix - Fix double scrollbar when original length of the mini cart surpasses the end of the page.
* Fix - Move all Gutenberg assets to Gutenberg hooks.
* Dev - Updated Composite Products integration for compatibility with version 4.0.
* Dev - Updated FontAwesome to 5.8.1.

    You can download Storefront now from your dashboard or from WordPress.org.

    I found a bug

    If you find a bug then as always, please be sure to report it on GitHub. If you have any other problems with Storefront please post on the WordPress.org support forum, or contact us if you’re a WooCommerce customer.

  • Storefront 2.4.6 has been tagged for release and uploaded to WordPress.org.

  • WooCommerce 3.6.2 is now available. This release fixes backwards compatibility with themes, a conflict with WooCommerce Blocks 1.4.0, and more.

  • Greetings all once again! While WooCommerce 3.6 was just launched less than a day ago, we received reports via GitHub and the Support Forums that some of the new functionality shipped in 3.6 was causing issues with some hosting environments.

    As such, we have opted to revert the code that was determined to be causing issues back to the version that exists in 3.5.x. We have taken that one revision, and packaged it up in version 3.6.1 to allow sites affected to easily apply the fix.

    3.6.1 Changelog

    With just one pull request shipped in this fix release, the changelog is quite short:

    * Fix - Remove calls to 'header_register_callback' to prevent conflicts with some hosting providers and PHP versions.

    This change will fix the issue users on WPEngine hosting were experiencing on logging in to wp-admin, and remedy the issues reported around add-to-cart URLs in 3.6.

    Download the latest release of WooCommerce here or venture over to Dashboard → Updates to update your plugins from WordPress.

    As usual, if you spot any other issues in WooCommerce core please log them in detail on Github, and to disclose a security issue to our team, please submit a report via HackerOne here. Comments on this post are closed.

  • Today we are excited to announce the availability of WooCommerce 3.6. The latest release of WooCommerce has been in development since November 2018, and during that time, 3.6 has had 2279 commits from 122 contributors.

    3.6 is a “minor” release; this version should be backwards compatible with sites running versions of WooCommerce greater than or equal to 3.0. We do of course recommend ensuring your extensions and themes are compatible before upgrading, and making backups for peace of mind —please see this guide for more details.

    What’s New

    In addition to the security fixes in 3.5.8 – the following items have changed since RC2:

    Testing

    To test WooCommerce 3.6 RC3, you can use our WooCommerce Beta Tester plugin or you can download the release candidate here (zip).

    Since 3.6 is now in release candidate stage, only bug fixes will be made. No other changes should take place.

    Think you’ve found a bug? Please post in detail to Github.

    Developers, 3.6 is a minor release, so it should be fully backwards compatible. Despite this, it’s still a good idea to test your plugins and themes and help us catch any issues we may have missed before the final release.

  • WooCommerce 3.5.8 is now available. Since this release contains fixes to harden security, we encourage you to update your stores as soon as possible.
