In order not to put your long-established business in danger, always test upgrades on the staging site first and then upgrade on the live site.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table4\">\n<p><b>Note: <\/b>This method is more suitable for advanced WordPress users with a good understanding of MySQL database. If you are unsuitable for this method, we highly recommend you choose the prior one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Step 1: Set up a staging site<\/h3>\n<p>As I mentioned before, upgrading WooCommerce via a live site involves serious risks. Thus, <strong>we recommend you test the upgrade on a staging site before applying it on the WooCommerce live site<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>A staging site is basically an exact simulation of your existing website. <strong>Any changes you make on your testing environment have no effect on your live site<\/strong>. You will have <strong>3 main ways<\/strong> to create a WooCommerce staging site:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Use your hosting provider<\/strong>: Some hosting providers, such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Bluehost<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.siteground.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">SiteGround<\/a>, or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wpengine.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">WP Engine,<\/a> offer staging environments.\u00a0However, this additional option comes with a higher plan fee.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use a plugin<\/strong>: You can use many WordPress plugins such as <a href=\"https:\/\/wp-staging.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">WP Staging Pro<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/wpstagecoach.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">WP Stagecoach<\/a> or<a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/all-in-one-wp-migration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"> All-in-one WP migration<\/a> to set up a staging environment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Create a staging site manually<\/strong>: This method gives you total control over the staging setup process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you don\u2019t want to pay for a hosting provider or plugin, below is the manual staging site-creating process that you can easily follow:<\/p>\n<p>1. Log in to your <strong>cPanel<\/strong> and choose the <strong>Subdomains<\/strong> option<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_63871\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-63871\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-jnews-featured-750 wp-image-63871\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Subdomain-option-in-cPanel--750x227.webp\" alt=\"Subdomain option in cPanel\" width=\"750\" height=\"227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Subdomain-option-in-cPanel--750x227.webp 750w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Subdomain-option-in-cPanel--300x91.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Subdomain-option-in-cPanel-.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-63871\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Subdomain option in cPanel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>2. <strong>Enter the name of your Subdomain<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>: Your staging subdomain can not include the exact address of your main domain, or else it will end up being a directory inside your live store.<\/p>\n<p>3.

Once it completes, you can access and interact with your staging site exactly as you usually do on your live store.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Update the staging site<\/h3>\n<p>Next, it\u2019s time to update data to your staging site. Please note that themes, payment methods and plugins that are from third-party developers cannot update, you need to contact the third-party developer for compatibility and support on updates.<\/p>\n<h4>#1. Update theme<\/h4>\n<p>The manual theme upgrade process consists of these main steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Log in to your <strong>WooCommerce.com<\/strong> account and download the latest version of your theme.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unzip, rename, and then compress the downloaded folder to a zip file again<\/strong>. If you don't change the file's name, an error will happen because there's already a theme folder on your server with the same name as the one in your ZIP file.<\/li>\n<li>On your website, go to <strong>Appearance &gt; Themes &gt; Add New<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Click <strong>Upload<\/strong> to upload the ZIP file you just renamed<\/li>\n<li>Go to <strong>Appearance &gt; Themes &gt; Activate<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If your old theme has been customized, you need to reapply these modifications to the new one later.<\/p>\n<h4>#2. Update payment methods<\/h4>\n<p>WordPress allows you to modify, add, disable, and update payment methods for your WooCommerce store. To update your current payment gateways, stick to the steps below:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>In the WordPress menu column, go to <strong>WooCommerce &gt; Setting.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Click the <strong>Payment<\/strong> tab on the top of the page, and a list of payment methods will appear.<\/li>\n<li>Clicking the <strong>Manage<\/strong> button in the right-hand column and then go to update your payment methods<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>#3.

Update database<\/h4>\n<p>The database stores your products, orders, posts, and pages. The process of updating the WooCommerce database on the staging site includes two steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Firstly, <strong>creating a new database<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Secondly, <strong>uploading the previous database into the newly created one<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>1. Back up database<\/h5>\n<p>To have a database from the live site uploaded to the staging site,\u00a0 you have to export your database in a file first. Moreover, a backup ensures you can always roll back to the last version if the upgrade fails.<\/p>\n<p>Database backup will not take your time. All you have to do is choose <strong>Tools<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Export<\/strong> to export your site contents, including your pages, products, variations, orders, refunds, coupons, and media, in an XML file.<\/p>\n<h5>2. Upload database to the staging site<\/h5>\n<p>To be able to upload the database backup to the staging site, <strong>you need to use FileZilla, a free software for transferring files over the Internet<\/strong>. Open it and provide credentials when you have downloaded and set up FileZilla. Then, wait for the connection.<\/p>\n<p>Next, navigate to <b>Remote site &gt; public_html &gt; staging<\/b>. Then, the backup folder that you downloaded will display on your local computer. Select it and right-click to choose <b>Upload<\/b>. Now, your backup folder is in your staging folder.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_63872\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-63872\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-jnews-featured-750 wp-image-63872\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Upload-the-WordPress-files-to-the-new-Staging-folder--750x363.webp\" alt=\"Upload the WordPress files to the new Staging folder\" width=\"750\" height=\"363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Upload-the-WordPress-files-to-the-new-Staging-folder--750x363.webp 750w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Upload-the-WordPress-files-to-the-new-Staging-folder--300x145.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Upload-the-WordPress-files-to-the-new-Staging-folder-.webp 762w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-63872\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Upload the WordPress files uploading into the newly created one.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h5>3.

You can use the same login credentials as those on your live website.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Test site<\/h3>\n<p>The next important step is to test the updates data on your staging site to ensure compatibility. Besides compatibility, please ensure that you look into other aspects, including loading time, stability, and responsiveness. To do this, you must check both your store's back-end and front-end.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>: For front-end tests, remember to execute tests via a clean browser session to ascertain that your website's cookies will not send you to your customers' most common use cases.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Check store back-end<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Check if there are any outdated items left in your backend<\/li>\n<li>Test updating personal information<\/li>\n<li>Try adding and removing products in your store<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Check store front-end<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Try browsing the important pages including categories pages, individual category pages and single product pages, etc<\/li>\n<li>Check whether the search system works<\/li>\n<li>See whether you can make a purchase<\/li>\n<li>Try searching for any product, order, and customer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What are the possible errors?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The most common error is broken compatibility between extensions or plugins. Others are caused by WooCommerce itself, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Shortcodes are not executed in variation descriptions.<\/li>\n<li>Some orders miss variation attributes.<\/li>\n<li>During checkout, the billing and shipping fields are misplaced.<\/li>\n<li>Emails are being sent multiple times.<\/li>\n<li>There's a redirect loop when attempting to access your site.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Step 4: Push the site to live<\/h3>\n<p>Before you put the staging site into use, you need to switch your live store to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcomet.com\/tutorials\/woocommerce\/maintenance-mode-activation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">maintenance mode<\/a>. Despite causing store downtime, this action will guarantee you will not miss any new orders placed during this phase. When finished, remember to remove your maintenance mode.<\/p>\n<p>As I previously mentioned, <strong>the testing environment could be generated in 3 ways<\/strong>. If you create a staging environment via your hosting or plugin, you could push the changes from the staging site to the live site with their options.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand,<strong> if you follow the manual method to set up the staging site, you have to upgrade your live WooCommerce store to the latest version<\/strong>. After that, download the files and database from your staging site and then upload them to your live site using the same process we discussed before.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Should You Update WooCommerce?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, regularly updating WooCommerce is essential to maintain your store's security, performance, and compatibility. Updates include critical security patches that safeguard your site from potential threats, reducing the risk of vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, updates often deliver performance enhancements and new features that improve your store's functionality. They also ensure smooth integration with the latest versions of WordPress and third-party plugins, helping your website run efficiently without compatibility issues.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Is It Safe to Update WooCommerce?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, it is generally safe to update WooCommerce, but there are important precautions you should take to avoid potential risks. Always start by backing up your WooCommerce website, including both your site files and database. This ensures that you can easily restore your store to its previous state if something goes wrong during the update process.<\/p>\n<p>Testing updates in a staging environment is highly recommended. A staging site is a clone of your live website where you can safely test updates without affecting your customers or sales. This approach helps identify compatibility issues with themes, plugins, or custom code before applying changes to your live store.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, review the update changelog provided by WooCommerce to understand what changes are being introduced. This can help you anticipate any adjustments needed for custom features or integrations. For large or complex stores, consider scheduling updates during off-peak hours to minimize disruptions to your business operations.<\/p>\n<h2>How Long Does It Take to Update WooCommerce?<\/h2>\n<p>The update process usually takes a few minutes, especially for small to medium-sized stores with minimal customizations. However, the duration can vary based on several factors. If your store has a large database, extensive product catalogs, complex custom integrations, or numerous third-party plugins, the process may take longer\u2014ranging from 15 minutes to over an hour.<\/p>\n<p>The time required also depends on whether you're performing a manual or automated update. Automated updates using tools like LitExtension are typically faster because they streamline many steps. Manual updates, especially when creating backups, setting up staging environments, and testing for compatibility, can extend the process significantly.<\/p>\n<p>For major updates, it's recommended to allocate additional time for thorough testing, both before and after the update, to ensure everything functions correctly. Scheduling updates during off-peak hours can help minimize disruptions to your business operations.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Why Update WooCommerce with LitExtension?<\/h2>\n<p>First and foremost, <strong>performing a WooCommerce update with LitExtension doesn\u2019t require any particular technical knowledge and just takes you a few simple steps<\/strong>.
