WooCommerce 6.1.1 Fix Release

by Leave a Comment

WooCommerce 6.1.1 is available now. This release resolves a bug introduced in 6.1.0, rolls back the deprecation introduced in 6.1.0, and improves WooCommerce’s support for WordPress 5.9.

Here’s what’s new:

  • Introduced support for the Twenty Twenty-Two theme, ahead of the release of WordPress 5.9. (#31536, #31575, #31619, #31626, #31632, #31630, #31631, #31633, #31634)
  • Updated the version of WooCommerce Blocks to 6.5.2, which includes a fix for Store Editing Templates, which mostly affects sites running WordPress 5.9. (#5519)
  • We reverted the warning about the deprecation to is_ajax introduced in 6.1.0. This was causing issues on some sites when WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY was set to true in production. Despite this rollback, we recommend not displaying debug information on production sites. (#31672)
  • We fixed an jQuery compatibility issue with FlexSlider introduced in 6.1.0. (#31623)

You can see the complete set of changes in the readme file for the release.

You can download the latest release of WooCommerce here or visit Dashboard → Updates to update the plugin from your WordPress admin screen.

WordPress 5.8.3 Security Release

by Leave a Comment

This security release features four security fixes. Because this is a security release, it is recommended that you update your sites immediately. All versions since WordPress 3.7 have also been updated.

WordPress 5.8.3 is a short-cycle security release. The next major release will be version 5.9, which is already in the Release Candidate stage.

You can update to WordPress 5.8.3 by downloading from WordPress.org or visiting your Dashboard → Updates and clicking Update Now.

If you have sites that support automatic background updates, they’ve already started the update process.

Security Updates

Four security issues affect WordPress versions between 3.7 and 5.8. If you haven’t yet updated to 5.8, all WordPress versions since 3.7 have also been updated to fix the following security issue (except where noted otherwise):

  • Props to Karim El Ouerghemmi and Simon Scannell of SonarSource for disclosing an issue with stored XSS through post slugs.
  • Props to Simon Scannell of SonarSource for reporting an issue with Object injection in some multisite installations.
  • Props to ngocnb and khuyenn from GiaoHangTietKiem JSC for working with Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative on reporting a SQL injection vulnerability in WP_Query.
  • Props to Ben Bidner from the WordPress security team for reporting a SQL injection vulnerability in WP_Meta_Query (only relevant to versions 4.1-5.8).

Thank you to all of the reporters above for privately disclosing the vulnerabilities. This gave the security team time to fix the vulnerabilities before WordPress sites could be attacked. Thank you to the members of the WordPress security team for implementing these fixes in WordPress.

For more information, check out the 5.8.3 HelpHub documentation page.

WooCommerce 6.0 Released

We are pleased to announce the release of WooCommerce 6.0. This is a major release but everything should be backwards compatible with the previous version.

Due to internal process changes, the WooCommerce 6.0 release was delayed by one day. This allowed for us to complete some additional testing, and we don’t anticipate a delay for the WooCommerce 6.1 release.

This release contains:

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.

  • Rate Limit Table: In order to address the performance issues caused by storing rate limits in the options table, we have created a new table to hold rate limit entries. See #30960 for more details.

These are just some of the changes that are included in WooCommerce 6.0. You can find the complete changelog for this release in the changelog.txt file.

  • Unpaid order cancellation scheduling fix: When the scheduled action to cancel an unpaid order failed it wasn’t re-scheduled for retry. #30830
  • Tax location when adding products via admin fix: When a product was added to an order via admin, and the woocommerce_adjust_non_base_location_prices filter was set to return false (to calculate taxes based on the customer location, not thee shop location), the location for the taxes was being taken from the admin user, not from the user who performed the order. #30692
  • We have reverted a change that prepended the currency-info.php file name with a path in locale-info.php, that extra path wasn’t really needed and was causing issues in 3rd party applications. #31036
  • We have improved the handling of downloadable files hosted on the server to better enforce file type check.

These are just some of the changes that are included in WooCommerce 5.9. You can find the complete changelog for this release in the changelog.txt file.

Compatibility Changes

This may impact some third party code that aims to integrate with WooCommerce Admin.
