504 Error on Certain Pages

Hi there,

Can you share a copy of your status report found under **WooCommerce > Status** as well as the server error logs that highlight the 504 errors?

Hey there, i got the same issue with my WooCommerce shop and tried to find the reason for that.
My hosting provider said, some other customers also have this problem.
The only way to fix it for me, was to cleanup the database tables of WooCommerce by hand, which is not really a solution for the live system (My provider tested it in a copy of the system)

Exact same issue here, tried all the same steps. Shop has always worked fine, but after the latest 4.9.1 update i get a 504 as soon as i save a product or want to enable/disable any random plugin. It only occurs after the WooCommerce plugin was activated.

I re-installed WordPress using the current database, tried using the default storefront theme and not using any other plugins.

My webhost (TransIP) said the same thing, nothing wrong on their side..
I’m going to try installing WooCommerce 4.8 and see if this helps.

Interestingly, when I created a brand new installation on a local WP site I did not have this issue. I need to double check but I’m pretty sure they are the same version.

Additionally I got this back from WooCommerce support that someone has started a thread on the same issue here:

https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/28911

@annabealizabeth you seem to have helped me here! I can confirm that the snippet provided on the github page worked for me:

//TEMPORARY BUGFIX FOR WOOCOMMERCE "PHONING HOME" - REMOVE AFTER WOOC FIXES
add_filter('woocommerce_admin_features', 'pk_woocommerce_admin_features');
function pk_woocommerce_admin_features($features) {
	if(($key = array_search('remote-inbox-notifications', $features)) !== false) {
		unset($features[$key]);
	}
	return $features ;
}

In the mean time i’ll have to wait for a fix from WC.
Thanks a million!

Ok cool! I haven’t had a chance to try it yet but I’ll give it a shot on me lunch break. ??

I have had essentially the same problem. I’m a bit confused – are we meant to be waiting for an update to be released, moving the discussion to github, or implementing one of several fixes that have already been posted by various people? (In my case we can wait, as the site is functioning more or less normally, although I can’t update stock levels or activate other plugins, etc.)

Thanks

Ok update. So I never got a chance to login and add this code today, but I get home, login and Woo has an update. I ran it and the functionality seems to be restored. I can disable plugins and update products.

However I did see some people (I think on the gitHub thread above) say that the update did not fix it for them. So… I don’t know.

For me the WooCommerce Update also fixed the problems

Glad to hear that the update fixed.

In cases where the update does not fix this, I’d recommend posting directly on the GitHub issue: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-admin/issues/6168

That said, I’ll mark this thread as resolved now. If you have any further questions, I recommend creating a new thread.
