    I use UpdraftPlus for my site backups, including database. Luckily I had a backup saved from before the WordPress 4.5 update was applied to my site. I first had to get my website files back to WordPress 4.4.2

    I downloaded the WordPress 4.4.2 archive from https://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/ to my website.

    I was then able to perform a restore of the wp-content folder and database (using UpdraftPlus) that I had saved.

    Everything succeeded and my site is back and operational.

    Thank you all for the suggestions!

    @staartmees Sorry you interpreted that as rude. It wasn’t meant to be rude at all.

    Anyone know where I can download the previous version of WordPress?

    Well, I will check with my host then, because I did NOT initiate a WordPress core update.

    Where would I find such announcements for updates like this?
    With possible problems included in the update?

    Thanks for the info.

    Yes, read that thread. My theme is having more issues than what is mentioned in that thread.

    I have about had it with these poorly planned updates.

    Or, if you are using a theme, reach out to the Theme Developers to get an update. That seems to be fixing the issue for many.

    I wouldn’t count on WordPress fixing the issue.

    Also, make sre you have shut off your automatic WordPress updates, so you don’t run into the issue again.

    This happens to several sites since the WordPress 4.5 update. What version of WordPress are you using? If you are using WordPress 4.5 – then sorry to say, your stuck. Like me and MANY MANY others. 🙁

    Hmmm, well – it is working now! Added the your CSS to the current CSS and it hides them all!

    So, thank you! 🙂

    CCS is still active. The problem is on my Cart page. I do NOT want these fields hidden on my Checkout page.

    I sent the link to your twitter account.

    Have you actually found out what the error was? View the server error logs

    No I have not done that yet, once I have the time I will.

    IF the plugin is one that I have had enough problems with that I do pay for support, then I will reach out to them as I have done in the past.

    I go through this a LOT with WC, the theme and the plugins I use. This is one reason I wish I didn’t have WC. I know, I know, upgrades are necessary for security and to get up to date with society. 🙂

    I am in the process now of trying to remove as much customization as possible (theme and plugins) just to minimize the amount of time I have to spend troubleshooting my site after upgrades.

    And notice – I still gave WC 3 stars. Its not like I gave a bad review. Its just some of the frustrating things that I go through at least once a month and I wish I would have known about them beforehand. 😉

    I see you waited 10 minutes for a reply on here before posting this review… Please be patient – this forum is monitored.

    The support is terrible because this is a public forum. Troubleshooting should not be done in a public forum. Especially when discussing/sharing installed plugins and system status reports.

    If you can also provide your functions.php I can check for you 🙂

    Thanks, but my functions.php file is unmodified.

    Oh yeah, thanks for mentioning that also!

    If you use WooCommerce, you will have to use a few plugins to make your eCommerce site have full functionality, like professional eCommerce sites. And most plugins have to be paid for, yearly, if you want any kind of support.

    So when an upgrade is released for WC or any plugins, you usually have to contact support to get something working the way it was working, before the upgrade. Support’s usual response is “It is most likely a plugin you have installed alongside not following best practices.” So another reason, you should really know your PHP and CSS before using WooCommerce.

    I had to FTP in to my site and replace the WooCommerce plugin folder with the previous version and then had to restore my database.

    These upgrades need to be tested before being released to the public.

    Ahhh, ok – thanks!

    Why is this happening? I just want to be sure that my restore was completed successfully. It’s a very uneasy feeling when you get notifications like that. 🙂
