  • It’s with great excitement that we announce WooCommerce 2.4 is live!

    As far as testing and QA goes we’ve:

    So we’re happy with the stability of 2.4.0 and don’t anticipate any drama. As always however, we do recommend testing sites on a staging environment prior to upgrade, and ensuring the latest versions of all extensions are running.

    Developers who have not yet tested plugins and themes, or whom have found issue, should read this post regarding possible conflicts and template file updates.

    Also a shout out to our translators who have been updating translations. If you want to get involved in translation, or you’ve spotted some missing strings, you can get involved on our Transifex.

    If you spot a bug in 2.4, don’t forget to log a detailed report on Github.

    Thanks and we hope you enjoy this release!

  • A new version of the Google Analytics plugin for WooCommerce is now ready for testing. You can download beta 1 here: https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce-google-analytics-integration/archive/1.4.0-beta-1.tar.gz

    Release Highlights

    Enhanced eCommerce The new plugin now supports enhanced eCommerce tracking. Enabling enhanced analytics allows you to gather information every step of the way. You can now track: Purchase transactions, when an item is added to the cart, when an item is removed from the cart, product impressions from listing pages, product clicks from listing pages, when a product is viewed from its page, and when the checkout process is initiated.

    Setup Tips The Google Analytics plugin can take a few steps to configure correctly since you need to configure things from the Google Analytics dashboard as well. The new release tries to make this as clear as possible by offering tips after installing the plugin, and clearer explanations around the different settings.

    The plugin has also been refactored to make adding features like enhanced eCommerce possible (and to make it easier to potentially track more information in the future). Since the code has shifted a bit, we wanted to get some feedback on a beta version before releasing to everybody. If you find a bug, please post an issue on GitHub.

  • The release candidate for WooCommerce 2.4 “Helpful Hedgehog” is now available. There have been ~40 commits since beta 4, including a tweak to the ajax endpoints for wider host support, and some tweaks to the variation editor based on user feedback.

    As a release candidate, we think it’s ready to ship but we would appreciate testing to see if we’re missing anything. We are also running 2.4 on woothemes.com to ensure we don’t miss any major issues!

    https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/releases/tag/2.4.0-RC1

    To find out how you can test this release, see this post. If you’re a developer and haven’t tested your products yet, do it now.

    Translators can begin translating 2.4 strings now on Transifex.

    If you think you’ve found a bug, please post it on our issue tracker.

    We are planning on shipping the finished version of 2.4 on Monday, August 10th. Follow this blog for further updates!

  • WC 2.4 beta 4 was tagged yesterday evening and is ready to test. Beta 4 should be the final beta before a release candidate is tagged later this week. If you’re an extension of theme author make sure you test as soon as possible.

    Download WC 2.4 beta 4

    If you want to read more about whats changed in 2.4, see this post. To find out how you can beta test, we wrote a short post with a plugin based solution.

    Also, please remember to fill in our beta survey if you beta test!

    Thanks to everyone who gets involved.

  • Beta testing is vital to ensuring our releases are as bug free as possible, and to ensure we hear user feedback before putting changes live. Anyone can beta test; shop owners, plugin developers, theme developers, translators, any and all help is welcome.

    We do understand however that the process of testing can be a little bit of a hassle since you need to download a tagged release and then upload it to your testing site manually. Sometimes this can also cause issues with plugin directory naming as well, because tagged releases won’t have a directory named ‘woocommerce’. This can break extensions.

    To make this process easier, we’ve released a beta testing plugin to help install the WooCommerce beta versions, and to ensure the directory names are kept correct.

    Please ensure you test responsibly, its not a good idea to run beta versions on a production site unless you know what you’re doing!

    Installing the Beta Tester Plugin

    To get started, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload plugin, and install the beta tester plugin which you can download from:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-beta-tester/

    This plugin will give you access to all of the WooCommerce versions uploaded to WordPress.org. This includes beta releases and release candidates.

    Giving Feedback

    During testing, if you come across a bug or want to propose or contribute an enhancement, submit an issue on Github. Ensure you read our guidelines on contributing and note which version you’re using specifically. It is also possible to easily submit a new GitHub issue through the beta tester plugin.

    Sometimes we may also ask for feedback via other means, such as the survey for 2.4. We’d appreciate if you fill this in too as it will help us judge how well received our releases and betas are and help us shape future versions.

    Thanks for testing WooCommerce!
