Woocommerce problem setting up store

    Hello,

    We are trying to setup Woocommerce on our website and are running into a problem in the Store Setup. During the “Store Details” page, we enter our address and hit submit, a message pops up “There was a problem updating your preferences”. This stops the setup process.

    We have looked in the error logs and no errors show up.

    We have checked under Woocommerce -> Status and no problems there either.

    We have checked the plugins folder permissions and they are fine too.

    Any ideas would help. Thanks!

    Hi there,

    Based on the symptoms you described, it’s feasible that there might a JavaScript error popping up (which won’t show on the error log) as a result of a conflict with one of your other installed plugins (or the theme that you’re using). Are you seeing any errors when opening the console panel in your browser web developer tools while on that installation page?

    I have the exact same issue, anyone else have a solution?

    Go to Settings->Permalinks

    Select your desired options. Make sure your .htaccess is writable to be able to update. Then Try setting up woocommerce again.

    I had this error because my .htaccess is not writable.

    Yes Its worked for me.
    I also tried reset permalink and selected postname and saved.

    I still have this same problem.

    My .htaccess file is at 777 (totally writable). I have set my permalinks to postname.

    Totally vanilla and newest install for both WP and WC. No other plug ins but what comes installed.

    My wordpress is in a sub directory. Does this matter?
    myDomain.com/wordpress/
    Does the main .htaccess file also need to be writable?

    Thanks.

    BOOM got it. After days of searching and stressing. Looks like it was a memory limit on PHP.

    I put this line of code into the wp-config.php file:

    define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');
    Seems to be working fine now.

    I still have the same problem, any solutions, please.

    @meqsoud7: I still have the same problem, any solutions, please.

    Did you try the permalinks solution? The .htaccess writable solution?
    the increasing memory limit to the wp-config.php file solution?

    If you need help with those, please let us know your specific obstacle.

    @hassaan456: i am working on my local host xampp

    xamp should have the same files listed above to tweak. I was also weird errors until I upped the memory on my local php.ini file.

    This may help:

    Yes I’ve tried all the solutions listed below, & I still face the same error.

    We are getting the same error.
    Is this possibly related to soap client issues, I noticed this in the status as well.
    We are using the flatsome theme, however it also occurs when we try to use just the storefront theme.
    Fresh install in our staging areas domain/wp. Also created a 2nd staging area at domain/staging with same result. WP installed in //domain.xo.yo

    I think we have also tried all of the above.

    Any help appreciated.

    Thanks
