I have recently installed WooCommerce 2.1.5 that skipped logout and change password links during pages install.

In WooCommerce documentation, the WooCommerce team mentioned that there is a feature to add missing pages from tools menu but when I go to the tools menu, I don't see any button to install missing pages.

How can I get it done?

Is there any step I have missed?

Do I need to install a plugin in order to get that button showing in the tools menu?

This can be done by:

  1. Go to the "System Status" tab on Woocommerce
  2. Click on the "Tools" tab at the top of the page
  3. On that page, the ninth option down is called "create pages".
  4. Clicking that will "install all the missing WooCommerce pages. Pages already defined and set up will not be replaced."

  • Thats the correct way but still after pressing the install pages button I cannot see change password and logout page in pages – aishazafar Mar 14 '14 at 19:30
  • Could they be in the second/third page of pages? – Howli Mar 14 '14 at 20:00
  • I just checked mine and using that option doesn't actually install all the pages :/ http://docs.woothemes.com/document/pages-not-displaying/ that page has a list of shortcodes for the different pages as a last resort. – Howli Mar 15 '14 at 00:15

This is what worked for me regarding missing cart or 404 error message when clicking view cart and how I fixed it.

Step 1.

Create new page and call it Cart. If cart page already exist WP will automatically call it cart-2 or whatever.

Step 2 Add [woocommerce_cart] shortcode on the page.

Step 3. Publish this page.

Step 4. Now go to woocommerce-->settings--->checkout---> look for check out pages--->under cart looku for cart page . Now save changes.

Problem solved.

Make sure your old pages have been deleted from the pages trashcan. I was having the same problem reinstalling. I checked the trashcan and my old pages were there. I emptied the trash bin and was able to reinstall.

It is a hard job to uninstall woocommerce plugin, when you have products in it.

The easiest way to have your woocommerce pages back, is;

  1. Install woocommerce on some other instance, say on a sub-domain of the same site and configure it. woocommerce pages will be installed.
  2. Install WordPress Import/Export Plugin.
  3. From WordPress Tools menu select Export->Pages->All and download the file, that will be in xml format.
  4. Now, restore this xml file on your original domain thru WordPress Tools menu by selecting Import->Wordpress.

and that is.

Your woocommerce pages are back.

GoodLuck!

In case you have trouble installing woocommerce pages using the tool tab (I was getting the following error: Page ID is set, but the page does not exist) you can also try creating and setting them manually in woocommerce:

  • Create new page, name it Cart, Checkout or whatever page you want to create that is missing in Woocommerce

  • In page content insert Shortcode and use any of these WooCommerce shortcodes, more info on https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-shortcodes/, some examples:

    [woocommerce_cart] - shows the cart page

    [woocommerce_checkout] – shows the checkout page

    [woocommerce_my_account] – shows the user account page

    [woocommerce_order_tracking] – shows the order tracking form

  • Manually set the page you just created in Woocommerce -> Settings -> Advanced -> Page Setup
