# Do we update to WooCommerce 2.3.5?

The new WooCommerce 2.3 has been with us for a little over a week, and up to now we have asked you not to update. The fifth bug-fix revision of WooCommerce 2.3 has just been released, barely a few minutes ago, specifically version 2.3.5, and we think it is now time to lift our foot off the brake.

### Do we update?

Yes and no; let us explain.

We already have some shops working with WooCommerce 2.3.5 and we have not found any problem since version 2.3.3 was released; that said, it has to be borne in mind that it is essential that the theme you have installed has been updated by its author so that it supports the changes WooCommerce 2.3 has introduced at customer level, mainly in the *Cart*, in the *Order* and in *My account*. It is also possible that some of the WooCommerce plugins you use is not updated and causes you some kind of error, so it is essential to update all of them and check their compatibility with the latest version of WooCommerce.

If the theme and the plugins have been updated and support WooCommerce 2.3, we recommend you try updating; that said, *making a backup copy of the database and of the files of the WordPress installation beforehand*. We also recommend that you enable the display of errors to make sure there is not some kind of hidden problem with any of the other plugins that make up your website, and that you put the website under maintenance.

Once you carry out the relevant tests, and hoping that everything is correct, you disable the display of errors and maintenance mode so that your customers can enjoy the new features WooCommerce 2.3 brings with it.

If that is not the case, you go back to the point before the updates and wait for the problems you have detected to be solved.

And you, do you have any online shop running under WooCommerce 2.3.5?
