Hi @bestsouk –
It sounds like another of your plugins or your theme may be conflicting with WooCommerce. You can read more about plugin and theme conflicts in our Self-Service Guide.
Here’s how you can figure out which one may be causing the problem:
Before you start
- First, please make sure you have a good backup in place of your full site and database. Most hosting companies have this included in the subscription, but you could also consider using a service like Jetpack. If something goes wrong, it’s nice to know that you can restore your site.
- Second, I would suggest to install a plugin called Health Check & Troubleshooting. This is a plugin developed by the WordPress community and it allows you to disable plugins without effecting your current site visitors.
How to test for conflicts
In order to test for conflicts using Health Check & Troubleshooting:
- Go to Tools > Site Health > Troubleshooting.
- Select Enable Troubleshooting Mode. This will disable all your plugins and set your theme to a default one.
- Go to Plugins. There you can enable WooCommerce by selecting Enable While Troubleshooting.
- Try to run the database update and/or access the products page. If the problem is resolved, it’s clearly a conflict. Now we need to figure out which plugin is causing this conflict.
- If you can’t reproduce the problem with only WooCommerce enabled, go ahead and re-enable the other plugins one by one. Test after each one until the problem occurs again – this will tell you which plugin is conflicting.
- If you are unable to reproduce the problem with the rest of your plugins enabled it could be your theme causing the conflict. To test for this, please enable your original theme at your WordPress Dashboard in the Troubleshooting Mode section at the top (it will look similar to this: https://d.pr/i/bbvkLY). In the Troubleshooting window, you’ll be able to see a dropdown with available themes. Choose the one you normally use. Try reproducing the problem you’re experiencing. If you can reproduce it, your theme is the source of the conflict.
Once you’ve done that, please check out How to test for plugin and theme conflicts and follow the steps there. Please let us know how that goes.
Ok thank you so much for your detailed reply … i will do so and update you shortly.
I just tried to do what you have told me and reached step 3:
(Go to Plugins. There you can enable WooCommerce by selecting Enable While Troubleshooting.)
then i was not able to get any result and woocommerce was not enabled while troubleshouting. this is the messages i got:
#Plugin actions, such as activating and deactivating, are not available while in Troubleshooting Mode.
#When enabling the plugin, woocommerce, a site failure occurred. Because of this the change was automatically reverted.
what should I do in this case please? it seems there is a problem with the plugin woocommerce itself.

Hi @bestsouk –
My apologies for the delayed response. Are you running the most recent version of WooCommerce (v. 4.9.2)? If not, you might try updating manually by uploading the latest version (you can download that here).

We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to go ahead and mark this thread as resolved. If you have any other questions please feel free to start a new thread.
Hello…
I am still having serious problems with this plugin…
Version 4.9.2 and 5.0 are not working fine for me…
The only version is woocommerce 4.8.0 which is working and I can access products page from admin.
However, woo DB update is taking forever to update in vain… Even woo product update is taking forever…
I contacted hosting and theme developer yet both said it is an issue with the plugin woocommerce and they can’t do anything…
I have tried several solutions but in vain…
I need your help please as I have a plugin to import products and it is not at all working properly and so many things are not OK due to woocommerce issues.
