 * Hi [@stravojohn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stravojohn/) ,
 * Thanks for reaching out!
 * I understand that your clients are encountering a critical error when trying 
   to create an account on the front end of your site, is this correct?
 * Please can you clarify if this is a new issue, or one that has been present for
   a while? If the former, do you recall any changes/updates made to the site before
   this issue surfaced?
 * > I’m using xstore theme but I have tried with storefont aswell but it doesnt
   > work.
 * This is a great first troubleshooting step, however, I’d suggest performing a
   full conflict test to rule out any theme/plugins conflicts causing the issue.
 * The support guide below provides a walkthrough on how to test for conflicts:
 * [https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/how-to-test-for-conflicts/](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/how-to-test-for-conflicts/)
 * Should the issue persist, please can you share a copy of your sites System Status
   Report which you can find via **WooCommerce** → **Status**. Select `Get system
   report` and then `Copy for support`.
 * Once you have that, please share the results on your response here.
 * Cheers!
