How Do I Manually Update WooCommerce?

Last updated on January 21, 2023 @ 4:59 pm

If you own a WooCommerce store, then you may have come across a situation where you need to update WooCommerce manually. This could be for a number of reasons, such as a new plugin compatibility issue, or perhaps you need to update your WooCommerce version to take advantage of the latest features.

Whatever the reason, updating WooCommerce is not as difficult as you might think, and in this article, we will show you how to do it.

Before we get started, it is important to note that you should always backup your website before updating any plugins or themes. This is just good practice in case something goes wrong during the update process. With that said, let’s take a look at how to update WooCommerce.

Step 1: Log into your WordPress site and go to the Plugins section. You will see a list of all the installed plugins on your site. Locate the WooCommerce plugin and click on the ‘Update Now’ link.

Step 2: A pop-up window will appear asking you to confirm that you want to update the plugin. Click on the ‘Update Plugin’ button to continue.

Step 3: WordPress will now download and install the latest version of WooCommerce. Once the process is complete, you will see a message stating that the plugin has been updated successfully.

Step 4: That’s it! You have successfully updated WooCommerce manually. Remember to clear your browser’s cache before checking out your site to see the changes.

Updating WooCommerce is simple and only takes a few minutes. Be sure to backup your website before beginning any updates.

PRO TIP: If you are not comfortable with code or making changes to your site that could potentially break it, we recommend not attempting to manually update WooCommerce. If you choose to do so anyway, please backup your site first and be sure to test any changes on a staging site before applying them to your live site.
