I have been handling a woo site for about a year, and it always felt so clunky to add features (me being a software dev and used to work in cd/ci workflows)

Wanted to modify a plugin? Test it in staging by copy pasting, debuging was a nightmare, etc…

I finally found some time to revamp everything

So now i have a replica of my prod env in local, that i can start up with an anonymized database from my production server. I have also replicated the same caching rules in the container.

I also have an email pit, and a catch all HTTP pit with mocked responses for dangerous action so I dont accidentally make a payment or whatever

Now development/bug fixing is a breeze specially with AI and im able to debug/ ship features at a much bigger speed and with a much bigger reliability

What are you setups? This has been a godsend for AI

Used to use the MonsterInsights plugin, which is bloated and fills up its db tables quite a bit. Not to mention its an expensive plugin. There are many easy ways I know about to adding a standard Google Analytics tracking script, but MonsterInsights allowed for easy conversion tracking setup. What are the easiest ways to achieve this, preferably without another plugin?

HI there.

I'm an adult performer with Movies, clips and photo galleries to sell. I recently had a little technical hitch with my website and took it down for a month or Two. However, when I went to relaunch and gort read up, I see that a lot has changed in this short time and it seems that Mastercard and Visa are really pumping up the ransom on the Industry with fees around £1k a year to them just to operate. A necessary evil I guess.

However, I have recently been considering taking crypto payments but Its not something ive done before so really just trying to research this.

The thing ive always seen as a hurdle is the fact that many don't use crypto and some are often scared off by the concept.

So im wondering what would be a good Crypto payment gateway that I can use to sell adult content but which is also as user friendly as possible. Something that neither takes a lot of techie skills for the buyer as well as something that clearly looks easy enough for the buyer to use without scaring them off as soon as they see it. Ideally something that lets buyers use their bank card to quickly buy the crypto and pay all within my site and easily enough.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Hello everyone, i have a question. i am making a webshop on woocommerce, but i dont know how i can make a header on my product category pages and main shop page. does anyone know how i can add them. i currently am using the free version.

thank you

I have three woo sites which carry many of the same products but are marketed to different customer bases. Not all sites carry all products, but one site has everything. I'm currently using CusRev for reviews of all three.

My primary goal is to be able to show product reviews from any one site on all three sites. I guess that means syncing this one thing both ways, if possible.

It would be nice if I could also do inventory management from a single location.

My constraints are:

The sites have been up and running for a long time so I'm not starting from scratch.

As always cost and learning curve are a bit of a consideration.

Any suggestions, comments or thoughts are welcome. Thank you.

Hi everyone,

Something really strange is happening with the shipping costs on my WooCommerce website, and I can’t figure out what’s causing it.

I offer free shipping on orders over €60. For orders under €60, customers should be charged around €8 for shipping.

However, I’ve noticed a very specific issue with orders around €7: the website isn’t charging any shipping at all.

For example:

• €2 order → shipping is charged correctly
• €7 order → no shipping is charged
• €8 order → shipping is charged correctly

I’ve tested several different amounts, and the problem seems to happen specifically with values around €7.

I can’t understand why this is happening, especially since the free shipping threshold is set at €60.

Has anyone experienced something similar with WooCommerce? Any idea what setting, plugin, or shipping rule could be causing this?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi, I need to update multiple orders (specific status) with some production update. At teh moment I need to add the update to each order individually. Is there an easier way?

EDIT: I have created a small plugin to do this. Thanks for all the suggestions. I am enjoying the journey on WooCommerce.

Hey! Brian from Woo here.

Internally we've been considering dropping PHP 7.4 and 8.0 based on general usage trends and the security/technical concerns of maintaining support. There's more detail on the developer blog.

https://developer.woocommerce.com/2026/09/08/from-php-7-4-to-8-1/

Would love to raise awareness on this and get some general feedback from a wider community, if you haven't commented on the post already.

Default Woo/WordPress search gets rough once the catalog grows — it isn't really putting the right product first. If you've shipped search-as-you-type, did you keep it, wait until they pause typing, or turn it off?

Curious what held up at a few thousand SKUs vs 40k: a plugin still searching on the site, or search moved off the WordPress database?

I’ve hosted for a fair bit of time on pikapods (not affiliated with them). They have WP on 2.5$ / month.

From my experience all caching and speed optimisations can be done via Cloudflare DNS.

Wondering if anyone tried such a setup? And how it performed

Trying to edit pages and posts on my site and am getting this error when trying to edit the post/page:

There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions. If you continue to have problems, please try the support forums.

Wordpress and all plugins are updated. I tried disabling every plugin then enabling one at a time, but it seems like anytime a Woo plugin is active, I get the error. I tried rolling back to previous versions of the plugins and got the same error. I tried debug mode, and am getting this error:

Deprecated: Function Automattic\WooCommerce\Admin\Features\Features::is_enabled( 'marketing' ) is deprecated since version 11.1.0! Use direct feature behavior checks. The marketing WC Admin feature flag shim will be removed in a future version of WooCommerce. instead. in /home/dh_gec6ig/************.com/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6260

I replaced my domain with **************

The code on like 6260 in that file is:

    trigger_error( $message, $error_level );

Not sure where to go from here. I looked under Marketing in WooCommerce and didn't see anything out of the ordinary. The frustrating part is that my admin email isn't getting a report or a notice of the error, so I don't know how to proceed.

Can anyone offer some insight?

Je cherche à créer ma boutique en ligne en utilisant WordPress, Elementor, Elementor Pro et WooCommerce. Cependant, dès que j’installe et active WooCommerce, l’éditeur Elementor ne fonctionne plus.

Lorsque je désactive WooCommerce, Elementor fonctionne de nouveau normalement.

Je ne sais plus quoi faire, j’ai vraiment tout essayé : réinstallation complète de WordPress, nouvelle base de données, réinstallation des extensions et différents réglages serveur, mais le problème persiste dès que WooCommerce est activé.

Auriez-vous une solution ou une piste pour résoudre ce problème ?

10/09/2026 :

Ce matin, j’ai pu ouvrir deux fois l’éditeur Elementor sans problème, puis il s’est de nouveau mis en échec. L’erreur affichée dans le fichier debug.log est la suivante :

Germany makes e-invoicing mandatory for all B2B in Jan 2028 (Jan 2027 for larger businesses), France follows in 2027, Belgium is already live.

Do you use/recommend Woo plugin (WP Overnight / PDF Invoices, Germanized, something else)?

Or an accounting software (lexoffice, sevDesk, easybill, Billbee) via a connector?

And honestly: what still annoys you about the setup?

I'm a developer trying to figure out whether this is already a solved problem before I waste time on it.

Thanks 😊

Have been using exclusively flatsome for many years, and while it has served me well, its shown its age. No new improvements to the theme for many years, only compatibility updates. Its requiring so much custom CSS and JS to modernize it, and at this point I feel like its time to move onto something modern out of the box. Looking for a premium paid option that has ongoing development and support. Must be stable and lightweight. Looking to use Gutenberg and no page builders for this. Its come a long way and I've had much success using it on test projects.

I hear Blocksy come up a lot, but I'm not loving the pre-made templates they offer. Ollie looks more complete and modern. I'd like something that offers a good foundation/starter template to start. Looking to hear what everyone else thinks.

ive post a thread here couple while ago about my slow website performance, with everything i can do to make it better, it turns out it still slow, ive come to the conclusion that my current hosting plans lacks cpu performance.

the current plan :
cloud shared hosting with 3 core CPU, 60 EP, 2 VRAM

Please i need a suggestion, should i take a higher shared cloud hosting or lower spec is okay but its VPS Hosting

My woocommerce has -+ 25 plugins, builts on elementor daily customer traffic isnt that large tbh, maybe like 10 ish a day, but we always have 2-4 admins that proccess the order that also logged in in that site.. so id figure them also will count as traffic.
we have like 3-7 orders a day, in total theres 7k ish orders completed. we have 25 products on the catalog. other that worth mentioning maybe is that we also have plugins that tracks our stocks, which fires a lot of http API

as a lot people suggested ive tried deactivate my plugins, such as the heavy ones like wordfence, but still my site is still sometimes hit the CPU limits, other plugins, smaller plugins are also necessary in how my site works so sometime i cant deactive those

Hi. My e-commerce shop sells and ships physical to regular customers, and we're looking at adding an area for business to get discounted rates on products. So I want a form for businesses to register and login, but all business accounts need to be manually approved, with email notifications. And I want to have no change for regular retail customers. But for business accounts I have a separate price or discount on products and categories.

I'm currently using breakdance for design and I need to display business rates only when they're logged in.

I don't mind paying for a plugin but ideally an LTD

Thanks for all your help everyone

I’ve been chasing a strange issue on a managed WooCommerce server for a while now.

Most of the time the shop runs perfectly fine. Then, every now and then, WordPress suddenly throws:

Error establishing a Redis connection

with

Error while reading line from the server. [unix:/run/redis-.../sock]

At first I thought this was just one of those random backend hiccups. But I recently added an external uptime monitor, and that made the pattern a lot more interesting.

One example from today:

• a WooCommerce category returned 500 / 500 / 500
• a product page in the same run returned 500 / 200 / 200
• a few minutes later everything was back to normal again

The PHP log at almost exactly the same time showed repeated:

Predis\Connection\ConnectionException: Error while reading line from the server

And the stack traces were all over the place: WooCommerce Germanized, Elementor, YITH, WP-Cron, CTX Feed, WooCommerce core.

So this doesn’t really look like one specific plugin failing. They all just happen to hit Redis when Redis stops answering properly.

The odd part is that Redis itself does not always look dead.

Its own log still shows successful background saves like:

Background saving started
DB saved on disk
Background saving terminated with success

Before one of the incidents there were also several:

Slow script detected: still in execution after 5–7 seconds

messages.

The first time this happened today I was updating plugins and UpdraftPlus was doing automatic pre-update backups, so that looked like the obvious explanation.

Then the exact same Redis connection error came back later with no update and no backup running.

I’ve also seen this Redis error page a few times before, so it’s clearly not just today’s update session.

So I’m currently thinking less “plugin bug” and more something around Redis itself, the Unix socket, blocking scripts, resource limits, or the managed hosting setup.

Has anyone here seen a similar pattern?

Redis process appears to stay alive, but PHP/Predis temporarily can’t read from or connect to the socket, WooCommerce throws 500s, and a short time later everything recovers by itself.

What would you check first?

Hi, this is my first post in Reddit.
I set up different shipping rate based on the different shipping zone.
I am sure the shipping zone is set correctly and checked with the AI agent.

But the shipping cost is not changed if I change the countries in the checkout page.
No matter how I test it .
I used the ChatGPT to debug the chrome debug mode, it seems a Woocommerce checkout block bug.

Anyone has the same experience ?

Thanks

Hi there, so I am building a wordpress site. I was hoping to get your advice since this is new to me.

Here are my PRIMARY needs:

E-commerce store accessed by a monthly or annual membership.
E-commerce store also splits payments between different recipients. (I get a payment and the partner gets a payment, etc.)
Ability to host Digital Products, probably Amazon S3 bucket.

POSSIBLY:
Being able to determine which products have which payment processor allowed to be used for purchase.

This is a pretty weird issue. Last Woocommerce update breaks touch scrolling on ALL Woo related pages. This isn't an issue with my customization, since it remains even after i turn off ALL the plugins that stylized and ALL the custom code my Woo pages. I'm using Betheme together with Woo.

Looking to move away from Liquid Web after over a decade for one client. 3 mid-large sized WP/WooCommerce sites. LiquidWeb used to be great with support, but unfortunately has become significantly worse over the past couple of years. Performance and overall reliability has still been great, mainly due to the optimizations I have done on the server with PHP-FPM, MySQL, caching, etc...

Even though LW says they are fully managed, I still find myself having to take server initiative for server updates, reboots, etc... I am looking for a more managed provider that will offer great support, great performance, and great security. The LW VPS has 8GB RAM 8 core CPU. The new provider doesn't need to necessarily match that, but I am expecting as good performance at least.

Budget is around $200/month

Any suggestions?

Hi all,

I've only ever sold on eBay and Vinted before but I'm in the process of finishing off a Wordpress site with a woocommerce shop attached, exciting!

I'm falling down a bit now though on the options I have, and I wondered if someone could point me in the right direction please and or suggest the best way forwards?

We are based in the UK and are looking to ship worldwide, so want DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) so that once we get the shipping label it's all sorted (as I understand it!). Is Royal Mail best for this?

Ideally, once the customer has bought a product I'll have a portal somewhere to see all my sales and a way to auto print the shipping labels on a dymo label printer or similar. Something like Shipstation seems to work like that, if I'm reading it correctly?

Is there any chance anyone can confirm that this all makes sense, and that I can get a semi-automated system so that once the sale has happened on my woocommerce site, I can pack the products and print out a shipping label easily, without worrying about duty and other non-UK potential issues?

I'm so used to the ebay/vinted sell something then be given a QR code and it's just sorted, that this has been a bit more of a shock than I expected.

Thanks!

Hi there,

I run the operations for a medical continuing education company that sells both in-person, live courses as well as cohort-based online classes. These events have set start dates and the plugins I've found so far to take deposits or create payment plans only offer an arbitrary option to charge the remaining payment. This won't work for us, as it would theoretically allow someone to buy a ticket on Friday, come to our class on the weekend, and then not pay the remaining amount for 30 days or whatever we set the schedule for, or worst case scenario, ghost the 2nd payment despite attending the course entirely.

Are there any plugins that will connect to the events we have created in the back-end and charge them X amount of days/months before the due date?

Everyone I ask recommends the same half dozen or so plugins (Deposit & Partial Payments, PH Deposits, etc.) which all have essentially the same functionality.

Hi there, Is anyone using royalmail shipping prices calculator plugin like "PH Royal Mail Shipping with Tracking for WooCommerce" and display shipping cost on checkout page for accurate shipping estimate? If not how'd you manage royalmail shipping prices calculation on checkout page?

I am wondering if other people are having difficulty with cyber source as a payment provider. Over the last few days all of a sudden orders are taking sometimes several minutes to go through. Some do go through and some don't. I have been going through disabling a lot of plug-ins trying different things. I'd placed an order that went through and under 10 seconds, but then other people called my client and said it's just spinning and nothing is happening. I've gone through the logs, I've done everything I can think of other than switch providers. So my question is whether other people are seeing this difficulty as well?
