Title: Installation WooCommerce Last modified: March 16, 2025 --- # Installation WooCommerce * Resolved [evalhyn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/evalhyn/) * (@evalhyn) * [1 year, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installation-woocommerce/) * Hello, After searching several forum threads for a solution to this problem, I haven’t found the right solution.After installing WooCommerce, I can no longer access WooCommerce > Home.The page most often displays an error message: “An error occurred while getting your inbox. Please try again.”Sometimes, a slightly more complete page appears, but not completely.Most of the time, the page goes blank and returns to the beginning of the store setup even though it’s already installed.If I reconfigure the store, the WooPayments configuration information disappears, and I have to launch the store again.It seems like the store keeps looping without actually installing.I’ve tried several solutions: - Disabled WooPayments - Disabled Akismet anti-spam - Deleted all WooCommerce extensions and reinstalled everything. – Cleared caches and updated databases. - Modified PHP/OVH * [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1QmVskMmvjjTE8h_mZmkBPeEyfRUV3Vs6?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1QmVskMmvjjTE8h_mZmkBPeEyfRUV3Vs6?usp=sharing) * I’m sharing the report.

If you have any custom code added to your site, removing that temporarily would also help rule out any conflicts. * Here’s a guide on how to test for conflicts: [How to Test for Plugin and Theme Conflicts](https://woocommerce.com/document/how-to-test-for-conflicts/) * Beyond that, the issue could be related to **security headers** on your server, specifically settings in your `.htaccess` file. Some configurations—like Content Security Policy (CSP) rules—can unintentionally block certain WooCommerce features. To rule this out, could you check with your **hosting provider** and ask them to review the `.htaccess` file with you? They can confirm whether any security rules might be interfering.**On a side note,** from your SSR, it looks like you’ve added your SSL using **Really Simple SSL**. This plugin also modifies your `. htaccess` file, and its configuration might be blocking certain functionality. You may want to check its settings or temporarily disable it to see if that helps. * Let us know what you find! We’re happy to help. * Thread Starter [evalhyn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/evalhyn/) * (@evalhyn) * [1 year ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installation-woocommerce/#post-18377299) * ```wp-block-code Hello,Thanks for your help. I've tested a lot of things over the past few days:I've disabled almost all extensions except for security, WooCommerce, and newsletter.I've also disabled Smash Balloon. Cleared caches, CSS, and JSThe WooCommerce errors are still there.I deactivated the Salient theme and switched to the native theme.Cleared caches, CSS, and JSThe WooCommerce errors are still there.I activated the Salient theme.I deactivated the Brevo (newsletter) plugin.Cleared caches, CSS, and JSI deactivated the Regenerate and Redirection plugins.Cleared caches, CSS, and JSWhat I notice is that the store pages are accessible on my site during all these tests (on another browser as well), except for the payment page.But the bug still occurs as soon as I return to "Woocommerce > Home," and the WooPayment settings don't remain active.Then I deleted all the WooCommerce extensions and removed the database components in WPoptimize.I reinstalled WooCommerce, but not everything installed.I tried to reinstall a backup via Updraftplus, but I couldn't complete it because it searched for the various modules for an hour. I couldn't start the reinstallation, so I canceled it.So I reinstalled last week's FTP and database backup (OVH) to recover everything I had at that time, including WooCommerce, WooPayment, and everything else I had installed.All the extensions are activated and the updates are complete.There are two recurring messages:WooCommerce > Home: "An error occurred while retrieving your inbox. Please try again."If I try again, it takes me back to the beginning of the WooCommerce installation.WooPayment > Settings:"Error retrieving settings."The settings are empty/deleted.I also have this message in the header of the WooCommerce settings pages:"An important update is required for WooCommerce" and "An important security update for WooCommerce has been released. It is recommended that you update as quickly as possible."But everything is up to date (plugins, theme, WordPress).Thank you for your help. ``` * [Zee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/doublezed2/) * (@doublezed2) * [1 year ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installation-woocommerce/#post-18378398) * Hello [evalhyn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/evalhyn/), * Thank you for your reply. * I appreciate you taking the troubleshooting steps. * I understand you’re seeing two errors: 1- “An error occurred while retrieving your inbox.

You can paste it into Pastebin. com and share the link here. * The first error doesn’t seem to be native to WooCommerce, so I’m curious about its cause, especially since you’ve disabled all plugins and switched to a default theme.

When I navigated through the site's various settings, and occasionally returned to WooCommerce/Home, I noticed that it was often on the third or fourth attempt that I was redirected to the WooCommerce configuration page.The product pages, orders, etc., are active.Does the store still work and will it remain functional despite these issues?I also opened the administration page in Firefox instead of Chrome, and it's the same.I've attached some screenshots to illustrate my message.Thank you for your help.https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1MH1sl8Pg9VRQcjhQes5kb8MvJBGl8HED?usp=drive_link ``` - This reply was modified 10 months, 3 weeks ago by [evalhyn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/evalhyn/). - This reply was modified 10 months, 3 weeks ago by [evalhyn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/evalhyn/). - This reply was modified 10 months, 3 weeks ago by [evalhyn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/evalhyn/). - This reply was modified 10 months, 3 weeks ago by [evalhyn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/evalhyn/). * [Mahfuzur Rahman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mahfuzurwp/) * (@mahfuzurwp) * [10 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installation-woocommerce/#post-18488919) * Hi [@evalhyn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/evalhyn/) , * Thanks so much for the detailed message and screenshots, I can see how confusing this must be, especially since your store is live and working fine on the front end. * What you’re describing seems related to inconsistencies in the WooCommerce Admin( wc-admin) interface. This could be caused by transient cache, delayed scheduled actions, or possibly a conflict with another plugin or server-level caching. * To help narrow this down, here are a few things you can try: 1. **Clear your site cache and object cache** (if any caching plugin or server- level caching is used). 2. Go to **WooCommerce → Status → Tools**, then click: 3. - **Clear WooCommerce transients** - **Clear expired transients** 4. Check if there are any failed or pending scheduled actions under **WooCommerce → Status → Scheduled Actions**. If there are many pending actions, you may need to manually run them or troubleshoot WP cron. 5. Temporarily deactivate any security or admin dashboard customization plugins and check again. * The good news is that your store and order functionality will continue to work— this issue is primarily visual/admin-side. * Let us know how it goes after these steps. * Thread Starter [evalhyn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/evalhyn/) * (@evalhyn) * [10 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installation-woocommerce/#post-18491285) * Hello, * Thank you for your prompt response and the proposed solutions. Here are the results of the tests carried out. * 1- The cache is cleared with each plugin, theme, or WordPress version update. 2- Transients have been cleared.3- Some CRONs have been disabled.4- Security plugins have been disabled and new tests carried out. * The result is the same: the store configuration page appears after a while. * If you confirm that the store is functional on the front-end and that it won’t block purchases, I can continue to update it, but it’s still annoying on the back-end and slows down access. * Thank you for your help. * [Mahfuzur Rahman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mahfuzurwp/) * (@mahfuzurwp) * [10 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installation-woocommerce/#post-18492112) * Hi [@evalhyn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/evalhyn/) , * Thank you for sharing the detailed test results, I really appreciate the steps you’ve taken so far. * Since the issue persists, let’s try a couple more things to help narrow it down: 1. **Temporarily disable the Legacy REST API** Go to **WooCommerce → Settings → Advanced → Legacy API**, uncheck the box, and save. 2. **Deactivate all other plugins except WooCommerce**, and then check if the store setup page loads correctly. * After that, please share a fresh **System Status Report** (WooCommerce → Status → Get system report → Copy for support) with only WooCommerce active. You can paste the report via [https://gist.github.com/](https://gist.github.com/) and share the link here. * This will help us pinpoint whether a plugin conflict or the legacy API might be contributing to the backend issue. * Thanks again, and I look forward to your update! * Thread Starter [evalhyn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/evalhyn/) * (@evalhyn) * [10 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installation-woocommerce/#post-18494585) * Hello, and thank you for your response and interest in this issue. * The REST API is already disabled. * Here is the link to the system report after disabling all extensions except WooCommerce.

It’s important to disable all plugins except WooCommerce. I also see you’re using the Salient theme. * If you prefer not to perform this troubleshooting on your live site, please create a staging site or move a copy of your live site to a subdomain. Then switch the theme to Storefront and deactivate all plugins except WooCommerce. * This step is essential for isolating the problem and effectively troubleshooting it. After completing this, please check if the issue persists and let us know. If it does, kindly share the system status report from the staging site. * Thread Starter [evalhyn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/evalhyn/) * (@evalhyn) * [10 months, 2 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installation-woocommerce/#post-18498268) * Hello, * Here is the second version (text2) of the link to the system report after disabling all plugins except WooCommerce.
