An important update is required for WooCommerce

Same issue here on all customer sites. Someone did github issue about it but it has not been acknowledged by Automattic yet.

https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/48444

If it needs updating, you can do so by going to “WooCommerce > Status > Tools > Update database”.

Thanks this worked for me ??

Hello everyone.

If using the update database tool in WooCommerce > Status > Tools doesn’t work, you can find this notification in your database’s wp_wc_admin_notes table. As a workaround, you can change its value to actioned from pending.

I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

I get your message, but it should be part of the update script. I think it is more than fair to expect the Woo devs to have this as part of the update process.

Just acknowledge that this was not done correct and it will be fixed in a new update and that’s it

@omarfpg my database and woo version are the same 8.9.3 so that is not the issue

@omarfpg
Same DB version as Woo plugin version.

DB:
WooCommerce databasversion:8.9.3
Plugin:
Version 8.9.3

After updating the database the message is gone!

I confirm, updating the database also worked for me

Hi @antonic93,

I confirm, updating the database also worked for me

Thanks for confirming. Same for the others who have tried this and it has worked.

We’re taking notice of those who still have issues, so I’m not marking this thread as resolved just yet.

I’ll share more details once I have them.

Thanks!

Hi @ everyone.

This is to inform you that this is being handled at the moment in this Pull: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/pull/48453.

Here’s also a quick code snippet to fix this particular incidence in the meantime:

add_action('plugins_loaded', function() {
	global $wpdb;

	$wpdb->query("update {$wpdb->prefix}wc_admin_notes set status='pending' where name='WC-order-attribution-update-June-2024'");
});

You can use a plugin like Code Snippets for this.

Cheers!

I understand the action, but it would be way better serving the whole community by releasing another update that has the hot-fix so everyone will benefit as most/many will have the same issue and not know about it or won’t be able to follow this route.

Really hard to understand why a product like Woo has this attitude.

Hello @carplu,

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We truly value the input from our community and understand the importance of quickly addressing common issues that affect many users. Your suggestion for an update that includes a hotfix for the issue in question is indeed a course of action that serves the wider WooCommerce community.

When a significant issue is identified, the WooCommerce development team works diligently to investigate, develop a fix, and release an update as expediently as possible. Updates need to undergo thorough testing to ensure they don’t introduce new issues and are compatible with the wide array of WooCommerce setups in use.

I’ll make sure to pass your comments on to the development team for consideration.

Thanks you your understanding.

Great thank you for understanding as well and passing this through.

Any update on this? It’s getting really annoying. All 5 sites we manage have the newest version of the plugin AND the database, still getting the message, dismiss button doesn’t work, only brings me to the WordPress dashboard.

someone asked about the CSS to hide. You can use display:none to hide it. Just paste into your custom CSS area and hide it. Note: It is not a fix, but a workaround to save being annoyed by it.

.woocommerce-store-alerts {
    position: relative;
    margin: 0 0 40px 0;
    margin-right: var(--large-gap);
    padding: 24px;
    border: 0;
    box-shadow: 0 0 8px -2px rgba(0, 0, 0, .3);
    display: none;
}
