Hi @eyreseyy!
Thanks for reaching out. While that is indeed the correct snippet, if you activated it after updating the plugin, you’ll still have to perform this last manual update. Future database updates will indeed be scheduled without user intervention.
Have a great day!
Thanks @jorgeatorres, I thought that may be the case. Is there a way of checking when the WooCommerce database was last updated?
Hi there!
Just to clarify, are you looking to find out the exact time/date when the WooCommerce database was last updated, or are you just trying to confirm which version your database is currently using?
Here’s how you can check both:
✅ WooCommerce Database Version
You can check the current database version by going to:
WooCommerce > Status > System Status tab, and scroll down to the Database section.
There, you’ll find the current database version under Database version — you can compare this with the WooCommerce plugin version to see if they’re in sync.
✅ Last Update Time (via database)
If you’re looking for the exact timestamp of the last WooCommerce database update, this data isn’t shown directly in the WooCommerce dashboard, but you can find it in your database under the wp_options table:
Look for the option name:
woocommerce_db_update_notice or woocommerce_last_update
The value may contain a timestamp or version that was last updated.
If you’re not comfortable accessing the database directly, your hosting provider might be able to help retrieve that info.
Thank you
