To help you further, I’d like to understand more about your setup.
Could you please send me a copy of your site’s System Status? You can find it via WooCommerce > Status. Select Get system report and then Copy for support.
Once you’ve done that, you can paste the text in https://gist.github.com/ and feel free to change/remove your site URL in the report for privacy reasons.
Once you do that, you can paste the Gist link here in your reply.
If it helps in any way: I made a staging website to try a few things (basically when I updated some plugins it gave me a critical error on all my website so I used a back-up), so I did update a few things on my staging website, and now the progress is slow but it’s “getting there” (there are still 32k pending after over 24h). On my main website it’s the opposite: Pending and All keeps growing in numbers, which I find worrying.
Please update WooCommerce core as well as WooCommerce database by going to WooCommerce > Status > Tools > Update Database to the latest release which was 7.2.2.
Pending: 157,514
I can see that you have a lot of pending tasks on your site. If you could please provide the fatal error logs (if any) under WooCommerce > Status > Logs as well?
I tried again to update WC Plugin to the lastest version: “There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.”
This could be due to the number of pending tasks on your site: Pending: 157,514. Please look for woocommerce_run_update_callback and run this manually under WooCommerce > Status > Scheduled Actions > Pending.
Thank you @ihereira I just followed your advice. How long does it usually take to update all the WC DB? Also, do I need to “clear” all the Pending tasks first before trying a new update? There’s progress, but it’s very slow.
In around 24h he only did 4k out of 183k files (still pending 174,000+) That’s crazy slow, and my site is down meanwhile. Any idea? @ihereira@xue28@anastas10s
I followed all the instructions above: Storefront theme. All plugins (except WC) desactivated.
Thank you @ihereira for your answer. Honestly I’ve been trying for hours to understand how I can run the plugin with code. Is there any easier solution to this?
Reminder of my issue: I have 180,000+ pending tasks on my main website. It’ll take weeks to complete and there are tons of duplicate tasks. I just want to clear and finalize the Database update (or cancel it… I never thought it would cause those problems.).
Right now I disabled all plugins and have Storefront theme (so my website is “down” and nothing works, which is a big issue for my business).
