How Do I Turn on WooCommerce Automatic Updates?

Last updated on January 17, 2023 @ 5:09 am

WooCommerce is a popular eCommerce plugin for WordPress that enables you to sell products and services online. Automatic updates keep your WooCommerce installation up to date with the latest features and security fixes.

In this article, we’ll show you how to enable automatic updates for WooCommerce. We’ll also cover some troubleshooting tips in case you run into any issues.

Enabling Automatic Updates in WooCommerce

Automatic updates can be enabled in WooCommerce by going to the Settings page and selecting the General tab. From there, scroll down to the Advanced Settings section and check the box next to “Enable Automatic Updates”. Once you’ve saved your changes, WooCommerce will automatically update itself when a new version is released.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you run into any issues with automatic updates, here are a few troubleshooting tips that may help:

  • Check Your Hosting Environment

    Automatic updates require an internet connection and a server that can connect to WordPress.org. If you’re having trouble with automatic updates, check with your host to make sure that your server meets the minimum requirements for WordPress.

  • Clear Your Browser Cache

    If you’re still seeing old versions of WooCommerce after enabling automatic updates, try clearing your browser cache.
    This will often refresh the files and allow you to see the latest version.

  • Another thing that can cause this issue is if you have caching plugins or services active on your site. These will need to be cleared as well so that they don’t serve up old versions of files.

If you’re still having trouble after trying these tips, feel free to reach out to our support team for assistance.
