  • WooCommerce 6.9.1 is available for download.

    What’s New?

    • WooCommerce 6.9.0 introduced a bug that caused some stores to produce a warning or a fatal (depending on PHP version) that states Warning: array_filter() expects parameter 1 to be array, bool given in ..../woocommerce/includes/class-wc-frontend-scripts.php on line 65 when using certain themes. This is now fixed via (#34671)

    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.

    What’s new in 6.9?

    WooCommerce Blocks

    Cart and Checkout Blocks are now a part of WooCommerce core as beta. Please refer to the Cart & Checkout Blocks documentation for more information.

    Filters via URL for All Products block: Now, using filters with the All Products blocks, the URL is updated when the filter changes without any page reload.

    Allow multiple selections for Attribute Filters: Previously, with Attribute Filters, when we set Display Style: Dropdown and Query Type: AND, it only allowed the users to select one single attribute term. Now, users can multi-select terms from the dropdown when the query type is set to AND.

    These are just some of the changes that are included in WooCommerce 6.9. You can find the complete changelog for this release in the changelog.txt file.

  • A new version of WooCommerce Blocks has been released! Version 8.4.0 is now available for download from GitHub and WordPress.org.

    This release contains many enhancements and a bug fix:

    WooCommerce Filter UI Updates

    As part of our objective to provide a seamless out-of-the-box experience with product filters, we have updated the existing filter block UI for a cleaner look and feel and have added a new “Reset” feature for each filter.

    Product Search is now a variation of the WordPress core Search block

    Given the power that Gutenberg block variations offer, we have refactored the Product Search block to be a variation of the WordPress core Search block. That means you have many more customization options now: hiding the label/button, modifying their text, changing the styles, etc.

    In order to have the new Product Search available, you will need to have Gutenberg installed. This will also work with the next version of WordPress (6.1).

    You can easily update existing instances of the Product Search block to this new block variation from the editor.

    Cart & Checkout Blocks: Make the current page into the default cart/checkout pages notice

    We’ve created a notice that, without leaving the current page, changes it to the default cart or checkout page.

    For older versions of WooCommerce (pre 6.9.0), the notice would show the old text:

    Fallback notice

    • Register product search as a core/search variation when available. (6191)
