How To Fix WooCommerce Plugin Update Issues

Occasionally when you attempt to update plugins related to WooCommerce, you may experience an error message that prevents the update from completing. Below is a list of errors that we've encountered, and the steps to correct these errors.

Update failed: Update package not available.

This error occurs when WordPress is unable to fetch the update files to complete the update process. This can happen when a plugin's license expires, development for that plugin is discontinued, or if your license has not been properly activated for the plugin.

You can resolve this by following these steps:

1. Log into your WordPress Dashboard
2. Find the My Subscriptions tab, and click it.
3. Find the My Subscriptions tab, and click it.
4. On the 'My subscriptions' tab, click on Connect Your Store
5. Follow the instructions on screen to complete your connection.
6. Once connected, go to Plugins
7. Select the plugins that failed to update, and re-attempt your update.
