I got the message “Woocommerce database update required”, however, when I click on the “Update WooCommerce Database” button I get the error message “The link you followed has expired”. How can I update the database?

Hello @Sherine,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

The message “WooCommerce database update required” usually appears after updating the WooCommerce plugin. The error “The link you followed has expired” may occur due to a session timeout or security token issue.

Please try the following steps:
1. Clear your browser cache and cookies, then log in to your WordPress Dashboard again.
2. Go to WooCommerce > Status > Tools and click Update Database if the option is available.
3. If the issue persists, temporarily deactivate all third-party plugins except WooCommerce and your theme, then try updating the database again.
4. Ensure that your PHP settings (such as max_execution_time, post_max_size, and upload_max_filesize) meet WooCommerce requirements.

After completing these steps, the database update should proceed successfully.

Best Regards,
8Theme’s Team
