@bougiedogwear if you go to woocommerce ->status ->tools and then use the tool to update the database the dashboard will be working again. This fixes a lot of different problems like add to cart, loading shop pages etc. etc. But there is still wierd issues around so check every action and parts of your site.

Thanks. I will try that…..not sure why it didn’t trigger automatically like in previous updates
@bougiedogwear most probably because of the fatal error thrown during the update. I just reinstalled latest WC version manually and dashboard issue was back again. This time it did not work updating DB.
It really seems to be lots of different issues with version 10.5.0
Hi @bougiedogwear,
Thanks for reporting this. We’re seeing a few similar reports following the WooCommerce 10.5.0 update. In many cases so far, this appears to be related to an incomplete update or a plugin/theme conflict rather than a single reproducible core issue.
As mentioned above, updating the database via WooCommerce → Status → Tools → Update database has helped resolve dashboard and frontend issues for some users, so it’s a good first step.
If the issue persists, we recommend trying the following on a staging site first:
- Update all other plugins and your theme, then update WooCommerce as the final step.
- Clear all server, object, CDN, and browser caches.
- Temporarily deactivate all non-WooCommerce plugins and switch to a default theme to check for conflicts.
- If the update may not have completed cleanly, re-download the WooCommerce ZIP file and re-upload it to ensure all files were properly extracted.
Important for live sites: If your production site is currently broken, we recommend rolling back to the previous stable WooCommerce version to restore functionality first, and then testing these steps on staging.
If the issue still occurs after trying the above, please share your System Status Report (WooCommerce → Status → Get system report, pasted to Pastebin or Gist) along with any relevant error logs so we can investigate further.
Thanks for your patience.
