If your WooCommerce checkout is not working, several factors could be causing the issue. Common reasons include conflicting plugins or outdated themes, which may disrupt the checkout process. Issues with payment gateways, incorrect configurations, or expired SSL certificates can also affect transactions. Another possibility is insufficient server resources, such as low PHP limits or outdated PHP versions, preventing the checkout from functioning. It’s also worth checking for broken cart data or incorrect shipping methods. To troubleshoot, disable conflicting plugins, update your theme and plugins, ensure correct payment settings, and clear browser and site cache.

To make your WooCommerce Shop page full width, start with your theme settings. Go to Appearance > Customize (or Site Editor) > Layout/Sidebar and disable the sidebar for Shop/Archive pages. If your theme supports it, set the page template to Full Width or No Sidebar. For block themes, edit the Product Catalog template and choose a full-width layout, then remove the sidebar blocks. If nothing is available, add CSS: set the shop content container to 100% width and remove max-width on the main wrapper. Clear cache and check mobile spacing. Also review plugin-added widgets that may force columns or padding.

WordPress itself is software, not a hosting company, so WordPress.org does not provide servers for your website. If you use self-hosted WordPress (WordPress.org), you must choose a web host and run WordPress on that host’s servers. However, WordPress.com is a separate hosted service that runs WordPress for you on its own infrastructure, with plans that include hosting, updates, and security. So the answer depends on which “WordPress” you mean: the open-source CMS has no servers, but the WordPress.com platform does provide hosting on its servers for your site. Many hosts also offer managed WordPress plans using their servers and support.

The WooCommerce checkout is the final step where customers complete their purchase. It collects billing details, shipping information, and payment method. After reviewing the order, the customer places it. WooCommerce then processes payment through the selected gateway, creates the order, reduces stock, and sends confirmation emails. A smooth checkout experience helps reduce cart abandonment and improves sales.

Many WordPress plugins are free to use, but not all plugins are completely free. Free plugins usually come with basic features that work without payment. Some plugins follow a freemium model. This means the core plugin is free, but advanced features require payment. You are allowed to use free plugins on personal and business websites. Most free plugins are licensed under GPL, which allows usage and modification. However, premium support may not be included. Always read the plugin description to understand limitations and upgrade options.
