Is WooCommerce now a PAID FOR only product ?

    Just updated to version 8.8.2

    We are now seeing a red digit 1 symbol / warning next to WooCommerce >> Extensions in the WP Dashboard, which is linked to “My subscriptions”

    Message displayed is :

    “Once connected, you’ll be able to manage your subscriptions, receive product updates,……….”

    Two questions please.

    1. Does this mean that unless the store is connected to a subscription , then no updates to the core WC will be possible ?
    2. If not, how can the warning be disabled for those who do not wish to have a subscription ?

  • @treecutter “Product updates” mentioned under the WooCommerce >> Extensions are referring to updates of products (plugins and themes) purchased from Woo Marketplace, not updates to the core WooCommerce.

    Does this mean that unless the store is connected to a subscription , then no updates to the core WC will be possible ?

    As before, updating core WooCommerce doesn’t require any subscription or connection, and is completely free of charge.

    If not, how can the warning be disabled for those who do not wish to have a subscription ?

    That red badge can’t be removed in the current latest version of WooCommerce, but we are considering adding the ability to hide it in the further versions of WooCommerce.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Red “badges” are normally used for warnings, it seems rather poor practice to use this for what essentially seems marketing, and especially when you prevent users from removing the red “badge”

    To assist other in the community, WP menu items can of course be removed:

    specifically :

    remove_submenu_page( ‘woocommerce’ , ‘wc-admin&path=/extensions’ );

    Hi treecutter,

    Thanks a lot for your tip, but could you just explain a little bit how to use this (and where) ?

    Many thanks in advance !

    Hi you all,

    I’m glad you were able to find a workaround to this. Thank you so much, community member @treecutter for sharing the workaround with the community.

    I’ll go ahead and mark this thread as solved.
