⚠️ What to Do Next
- If you’re using a version labeled 2.4.2, it may be a third-party build or mirror—not officially released by WooCommerce.
- For secure, supported installation, you should use the official plugin from WooCommerce.com. The built-in changelog and version history begin at v3.x and extend to the current 4.x release.
- If you want stability and compatibility with WooCommerce 8.x+ and WordPress 6.x+, upgrade to version 4.x (4.2.0 or higher).
- Always backup your site and test upgrades in a staging environment before deploying.
