 * it drops me in the woocommerce settings page. where i can make whatever changes
   and hit save.
 * but while i’m in there it still says that message at the top of the screen and
   if i hit the save button it just says that my changes were saved but still shows
   that message.

 * ok looks like the space issue was from an error_log in wp-admin.
 * and my issue was a corrupt database which i resolved by editing my wp-config.
   php file from the root folder of my wordpress install and added
 * `define('WP_ALLOW_REPAIR', true);`
 * to the end of the file just before the `if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )` line.
 * then in the browser went to [http://yoursite.com/wp-admin/maint/repair.php](http://yoursite.com/wp-admin/maint/repair.php)(
   of course i put in my domain name in the place of ‘yoursite.com’)
 * and ran the database repair and then ran the database repair & optimize.
 * went back to wordpress dashboard and ran the update again and the message went
   away.
 * thanks for your time!

 * We’re having the same issues on a site after a recent WC update. Repaired & optimized
   DB. No change. Cleared every cache server and browser side. No change. No debug
   messages when debug is turned on.
 * Anyone else find a culprit? Thanks!

 * Increasing memory worked for me:
 * wp-config.php
 * define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘325M’ );
