Woocommerce 3.4 support

[mrboats]

For us using X for ecommerce targeting Europe, Woocommerce 3.4 is very important as it brings GDPR (European privacy legislation, coming into effect on May 25 this year) compliance to Woocommerce. As the planned release of WC 3.4 is jusdt 2 days priot to deadline it would be very important that there is a version of X that has been tested with 3.4 available preferably already during the beta testing phase of WC 3.4.

Can you indicate your plans to support WC 3.4 and whether or not support will be available prior to May 25?

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in! The current WooCommerce stable version is 3.3.5 and current X compatible WooCommerce version is 3.3.3.

As WooCommerce 3.4.0 is still in beta, we cannot provide any ETA because our compatibility process will start after the stable release.

Thanks for understanding.

That is the problem as this means that X support for 3.4 will be far too late for May 25. What you are saying is that a site that needs to be GDPR compliat will have to change to an other theme come May 25 if the site cannot update to the 3.4 which has the functionality required by EU policy.

Hello There,

Thanks for the feedback. We will make sure that our developers will be made aware of your concern. We will also make sure that we test the upcoming update cycle release with WooCommerce 3.4.

Best Regards.

Cool, thanks. Don’t get me wrong, in general there is not a big issue with your support policy, just that this time it would be really nice if you were able to support 3.4 “day one”.

No problem @mrboats.
