Some problems in Woocommerce multisite

Hi @thecreator01

when I enable woocommerce on a multisite network, woocommerce works for all subsites but I cannot disable woocommerce only on the main site.

Unfortunately, it’s not possible to disable the plugin on the main site only when it’s network activated. You might consider disabling the WooCommerce plugin network-wide and then enabling it per site.

There are also some pages that woocommerce assigns automatically. For example, the I forgot my password page is set to /lost-password, but the I forgot my password link on the WordPress login page where users log in is updated to /lost-password and when users click on this link, they encounter a 404 page. Because WordPress’ default password reset link is “?action=lostpassword”.

This is expected behavior. After you install and activate WooCommerce, the lost password page will automatically be set as the Lost Password page.

when Woocommerce is updated, users encounter the message “database update required” on all subsites. (screenshot attached) Isn’t there a way for Woocommerce to automatically update the database for subsites as well? So is this message really necessary?

WooCommerce uses this prompt to ensure your database is compatible with the latest codebase. While it might seem inconvenient, it’s essential for maintaining your site’s functionality and security.

We strive to make WooCommerce as user-friendly and efficient as possible and continuously work on improving its structure and functionality. Your feedback is invaluable in this process.

I hope this provides some clarity. Please let us know if you have any other questions!
