woocommerce woes

Hi guys

I’m having no joy after updating through the day with woocommerce. I started with 2.2.8 which took the dashboard out (white screen of death) as soon as I pressed update. I got back in through renaming the plugin through ftp. By this time they had updated to 2.2.9 still no luck and this time it no longer recognisies the pages that it generates. ie if you click on buy now (on the site) – a shop page it just hangs – a white page or throws a 404.
I updated to the current version 2.2.10 (that’s 3 revisions in one afternoon). and it still doesn’t work.

Before I pressed update on the woocommerce plugin, my client had asked me to check the layer slider which was malfuntioning where his updates to the layerslider were showing on the website whilst in the dashboard but not on the site once they were logged out – almost like it was playing a cached version and even after pressing “save” “update” and deleting the browser cache it still showed the old content.
This seems stopped happening but now the site has no commerce ability.

Woo commerce are just saying this on the forum:-

“Lots of pages 404 error after WooCommerce 2.1 update

This issue is now resolved in the WooCommerce 2.1.1 fix release.

Because we have changed a couple static pages to endpoints in the WooCommerce 2.1 release, the permalinks need to be flushed. This wasn’t done properly in the WooCommerce 2.1 update, therefore you should do this manually in case you have a lot of 404 errors after updating. The upcoming 2.1.1 patch release will fix this issue and no longer requires a manual flush.

Pages included in possible 404 errors are: main shop page, category or tag archives and all of the new endpoints. This also affects conditional functions like is_shop() and that causes plugins relying on that function to no longer function properly.

You can flush the permalinks manually by saving the Settings > Permalinks page, to be found in your WordPress administration panel. After doing this, your pages will work as expected.”

I’ve updated permalinks and still no joy – I’m at a loss – can you help!

Thanks
