Hello,
Although it’s not officially tested with WordPress 5.8, WooCommerce 5.5.2 should still be compatible – I have a couple of test sites that have WordPress 5.8 and WooCommerce 5.5.2, and haven’t had any issues. But it’s always safer to create a backup before updating: https://woocommerce.com/posts/create-use-backups-woocommerce/
I really want to know when WooCommerce will officially show it is tested and compatible. I find it incredible that WooCommerce is not keeping up with WordPress. Plenty of other plugins are.
Hi there 👋
It is somewhat normal for the compatibility warning to show sometimes for WooCommerce/WooCommerce.com plugins (developed directly by Automattic/WooCommerce).
The latest available version of WooCommerce will always be compatible with the latest available version of WordPress.
I’m successfully running the latest WooCommerce and WordPress versions on a few sites, but if you’d like to make sure no issues will arise after updating – you can test the updates on a staging site using the WP Staging plugin.
I hope this helps!
