To keep the stability and performance of WooCommerce, the team regularly updates this plugin with new features, bug fixes and improvements.
In this article, we will give you some notes about new features of WooCommerce 5.4 and some best WordPress themes ready for this new update.
WooCommerce 5.4 New Features
The fifth minor release of 2021, WooCommerce 5.4, has been officially released! We’ve been hard at work and this release has
- 336 commits from 25 contributors in WooCommerce Core
- 125 commits from 24 contributors in WooCommerce Admin
- 143 commits from 14 contributors in WooCommerce Blocks
This is another minor release and so you should expect everything included to be backwards compatible with the previous version.
As always, we recommend creating a backup of your site and making sure that the themes and plugins are compatible before updating. You can check out this update guide for more information.
Highlights
- jQuery 3 Compatibility: In preparation for WordPress Core’s plan to update jQuery, we have addressed our usage of it accordingly. (#29044)
- WooCommerce Blocks 5.1.0: The package update includes 5.0.0 and 5.1.0. Please note that most content included in Blocks updates is not present in WooCommerce unless the WooCommerce Blocks feature plugin is active.
- WooCommerce Admin 2.3.1: This package update includes a number of fixes and quality of life tweaks.
These are just some of the changes that are included in WooCommerce 5.4. You can find the complete changelog for this release in the changelog.txt file.
Compatibility Changes
Our aim is to maintain backwards compatibility through every release unless otherwise noted. This section contains any alternations that may be noteworthy for developers in pursuit of that.
