# [NSFW] WooCommerce database update required loop

 * I am having an issue with “**WooCommerce database update required**” it is looping,
   first i am having to run it manually, and have a lot of pending tasks that need
   to be run apparently as well, i’m going to have to look them up before i do anything
   but yea thats an issue. Could you give me a place to find out what each task 
   does?
 * But my main concern right now is the loop. I have cleared the cache, I have deactivated
   and reactivated woocommerce. The website is on a wordpress multisite setup. I’m
   going to be deactivating all plugins and changing themes to see if that fixes
   it. I noticed my log report is empty so that also concerned me and would like
   help figuring that out.

 * Hi [@abbxxx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abbxxx/)
 * Thanks for reaching out!
 * I understand that you are unable to update your WooCommerce database.
 * Can you please try to switch to the [default Storefront theme](https://woocommerce.com/storefront/)
   and only WooCommerce plugin is enabled and see if this works?
 * If so, then this kind of problem is usually caused by your theme or a third-party
   plugin present on your site. We can run a conflict test to verify this. I’d recommend
   cloning your site to a staging environment and performing the tests described
   on this [guide](https://woocommerce.com/document/how-to-test-for-conflicts/) 
   without modifying your live site or impacting customers. Many hosts provide staging
   facilities, so it’s worth checking in with them. It’s also possible to do it 
   using the free [WP Staging](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-staging/) plugin.
 * If this was caused by a third-party plugin present on your site, it would be 
   best to reach out to the developers for further assistance here.
 * If this did not resolve the issue, please share your **System Status Report**,
   that will help us further troubleshoot.
 * You can find it via `WooCommerce > Status`. Select `Get system report` and then`
   Copy for support`. Once you’ve done that, you can paste it into your reply here.
 * If you could also provide the **fatal error logs** (if any) under `WooCommerce
   > Status > Logs`.
 * Let us know how it goes!

 * The loop got fixed by dealing with the cron job working right and clearing the
   cache for litespeed
