 * I just installed the new beta Woocommerce Admin plugin, and was really excited
   to see the new reporting functionality. However, I’m experiencing a big issue.
   It seems there was an error when populating/syncing up the database.
 * 1) Not all of my orders are showing in the new plugin (they are still showing
   in Woocommerce.) For example, of 13 completed orders in May, only 3 are showing
   in the Admin/Analytics plugin. There doesn’t seem to be anything specific about
   why certain orders are showing and some are not.
 * 2) As I pull different reports, I eventually get an error that says “There was
   an error getting your stats. Please try again.” There doesn’t seem to be a particular
   report where this happens – it’s just after a few minutes of clicking on different
   options.
 * 3) When I click on “reload” my wp-admin dashboard disappears completely, and 
   I get a white screen with an error message: “Error establishing a database connection.
   This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.
   php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost. This
   could mean your host’s database server is down.” When I log back into my wordpress
   dashboard, everything within the Woocommerce plugin still works fine (so I don’t
   believe there’s an issue with my server) – it is only the new/beta Woocommerce
   Admin plugin that is experiencing the errors.
 * I have tried deactivating and reactivating the plugin, and that did not help.
   I then tried deleting the plugin and reinstalling it, and that did not help –
   it didn’t ask me to sync again (as I was hoping). I am using up to date Woocommerce
   Version 3.6.4.

 * We made some improvements to our import tool in the last version (and more to
   come in the next version!), could you try updating the plugin and importing all
   customers and orders again?

 * It’s hard to say, but those two issues could be related to database overload.
   We made several improvements in that direction in the last version too, so I 
   would suggest trying if WooCommerce Admin 0.13.2 (the last version we published
   yesterday) works better for you.
 * I will proceed closing this issue for now. If you still encounter the same issues
   with the last version of WooCommerce Admin, feel free to re-open it.

 * Albert – Thank you!
 * 1. After updating, I was still experiencing the same issue. However, in the update
   report I saw that it was supposed to fix an error when the “Skip previously imported
   customers and orders” was checked. I went back and saw that this box was checked
   for me, so I unchecked it. The system then allowed me to re-sync the database,
   and that caught all the missing orders. Just wanted to give that update for you
   and/or anyone else who experiences this issue.
 * 2 & 3. I haven’t received any other database error messages or experienced any
   other issues since the update, so hopefully this is all resolved. I’ll let you
   know if I do!
 * Thanks for your help,
    Rebecca

 * I am with the same problem, I am using the version 0.20.1, I believe this plugin
   is with conflit with the JetPack Plugin, when I am desactivate the JetPack plugin,
   the Woocommerce Panel works, but when I Active the JetPack and click in Woocommerce
   Panel, the server go downfor aproximadally 5 min – 7 min.
 * I liked this Plugin, I really wish that this problem fix, but while this problem
   don’t fix, I will mantein this plugin desactived, because I can’t risk my server
   go down.
