 * Hello,
 * I have the latest version of WordPress installed (4.1) and I just updated to 
   the latest WooCommerce (2.3.1) and I am getting these new errors:
 * On my cart page: _Fatal error: Call to undefined method WooCommerce::show\_messages()
   in /home/citroenv/public\_html/wp-content/themes/emporium/woocommerce/cart/cart.
   php on line 13_
 * On the product pages:_Fatal error: Call to undefined method WooCommerce::attribute\
   _label() in /home/citroenv/public\_html/wp-content/themes/emporium/woocommerce/
   single-product/product-attributes.php on line 52_
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 * Cheers

 * I believe you need to update the theme – looks like the theme is trying to call
   deprecated functions.

 * Hi and thank you for the reply.
 * The theme is at it’s most up to date version – Emporium version 2.2: [http://themeforest.net/item/emporium-responsive-wordpress-woocommerce-theme/3400657](http://themeforest.net/item/emporium-responsive-wordpress-woocommerce-theme/3400657)
 * It seems like a pretty popular theme. I have put the same request there.

 * Hi and thank you for the reply again – good catch.
 * I downgraded to 2.1 (it claims support) and now my cart works but the individual
   products do not show up: [http://citroenvie.com/product/golf-shirt-g-sgg-sm-ocean-green-w-dark-green-logo/](http://citroenvie.com/product/golf-shirt-g-sgg-sm-ocean-green-w-dark-green-logo/)
 * Any ideas?

 * Try going to Settings > Permalinks and saving.
 * If that doesn’t work, you may want to switch themes temporarily until they resolve
   so you can at least take orders. Either use a default WP theme, or install storefront.

 * the new function is wc_print_notices(). They used to keep it as a deprecated 
   function per [http://woocommerce.wp-a2z.org/oik_api/woocommerceshow_messages/](http://woocommerce.wp-a2z.org/oik_api/woocommerceshow_messages/)
   but it appears they removed the function.
 * In your theme or plugin that is throwing the error, go to the line where they’re
   using `$woocommerce->show_messages();` and change it to `wc_print_notices();`
 * Not an elegant solution but it works.

 * Thanks, James – I just tried this and it seems to work. I ended up changing all
   instances of `$woocommerce->nonce_field` to ‘wp_nonce_field’ as well.

 * I was able to fix this issue with a client’s site by making sure that the old
   theme was deleted prior to uploading the new one. This was with the Buler theme,
   going from version 1.6 to 1.7. It seems like as long as there are old theme files
   in the theme/woocommerce directory it will try and use them, and since the new
   theme omitted those templates altogether simply uploading the new theme did not
   overwrite the old files.
 * I hope this helps someone else.

 * Did like James and Imartin, but my cart looks like this. What to do?
