 * The last update is now forcing established shops to go through the complete woocommerce
   setup process again, and has now taken the woocommerce summary off the wordpress
   dashboard too, additionally it is forcing us to choose a “marketing” module before
   it considers the setup complete which we don’t want, can this be fixed please
   pretty annoying.

 * **UPDATE**
    After having went through to the “woocommerce” dashboard and “dismissing”
   and “hiding” all the annoying setup processes, it appears the front end dashboard
   is back to normal now, although it still has to be said for existing shops this
   is really annoying and it’s the first time I can remember we have had to do this,
   no idea why it would want to “force” established shops to go through this process,
   new features I can understand, but existing ones it makes no sense whatsoever.

 * Yes, I had this too. That seemed very unnecessary and was pretty time-consuming.
   
   It even got stuck on shipping and marketing tools in the setup. I am very happy
   with how well the plugin works, but please don’t do this again.

 * Hi [@jenslarsen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jenslarsen/) , [@marko2002](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marko2002/)!
 * Thanks for reporting this. We have a few other reports of users experiencing 
   the same behaviour, however, we’re still working on finding out what may have
   caused it.
 * Rest assured that this wasn’t intentional, and only a few users have experienced
   it. We’re investigating this further to prevent such instances from happening
   again in future releases.

 * Went through all the steps for all of my established/existing sites, only to 
   see a blank WooCommerce Setup widget instead of the expected behaviour where 
   the widget should revert (or proceed; for new installs) to WooCommerce Summary
   widget.

 * Hi there,
 * If you’re seeing the WooCommerce Setup widget instead of the WooCommerce Status
   widget.
 * For the status widget to be displayed, you’d have to complete the task shown 
   in the setup widget. (You can just open and skip them): [https://d.pr/ILRxqp](https://d.pr/ILRxqp)
 * Once all the tasks have been completed/skipped, the status widget will show up
   as usual.
 * I hope this helps!
