 * I updated the woocommerce plugin and now I get this error when I try create a
   new blog post or edit an existing one: “There has been a critical error on this
   website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.”
 * Deactivating the woocommerce plugin makes the error go away.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fedit-error-after-update%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@dirvish42](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dirvish42/) ,
 * Thanks for reaching out!
 * I understand that updating WooCommerce to its latest version has resulted in 
   a critical error on your site when creating or editing a post. Also, it appears
   that deactivating WooCommerce resolves this issue, yes?
 * I’d suggest performing a full conflict test to see if there are any theme/plugins
   which may be conflicting with the latest version of WooCommerce.
 * To test, you’ll first want to change the theme on your site to [Storefront](https://wordpress.org/themes/storefront/),
   then check to see if the issue is still present. If that resolves the issue, 
   you’ll want to get in touch with your theme’s developer and see if they have 
   an update or fix for you.
 * If changing the theme doesn’t help, you’ll want to deactivate all plugins **except
   for WooCommerce** and take a look. If that fixes the problem, re-enable the other
   plugins one by one (gradually), checking after each, to see where the issue is
   coming from.
 * If you don’t want to test on your live site, then create a staging site using
   a plugin called [WP Staging](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-staging/).
 * Should the issue persist, please can you share the following, so that we can 
   have a better understanding of your sites current environment:
    - **System Status Report**: navigate to **WooCommerce** → **Status**. Select`
      Get system report` and then `Copy for support`.
    - **Fatal Error log**: Share a copy of any fatal error log found under **WooCommerce**
      → **Status** → **Logs**.
 * Once you have these, please share them in your response here.
 * Cheers!

 * Yes, deactivating woocommerce resolves the issue.
 * Same error with Storefront.
 * I tried deactivating plugins and here’s what I found:
 * If either WooCommerce OR WooCommerce Blocks is deactivated I don’t get the error.
   If both of them are active I get the error.

 * Hi [@dirvish42](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dirvish42/) ,
 * Thanks for providing an update!
 * Do you perhaps have the [Facebook for WooCommerce](https://wordpress.org/plugins/facebook-for-woocommerce/)
   plugin installed on your site?
 * If so, please can you try updating Facebook for WooCommerce and see if this resolves
   the issue you are experiencing. This was a known issue with WooCommerce Blocks
   and Facebook for WooCommerce and the latest version of [Facebook for WooCommerce](https://wordpress.org/plugins/facebook-for-woocommerce/)(
   3.0.14) contains the fix for this, which you can see [here](https://wordpress.org/plugins/facebook-for-woocommerce/#developers:~:text=Fix%20%E2%80%93%20Fatal%20error%20due%20to%20the%20latest%20WC%20Blocks%20changes.).
 * Additionally, please can you check that the [WooCommerce Blocks](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woo-gutenberg-products-block/)
   plugin is also updated to its latest version (9.7.0).
 * If this is not related to your current issue, please could you share the information
   requested previously:
    - **System Status Report**: navigate to **WooCommerce** → **Status**. Select`
      Get system report` and then `Copy for support`.
    - **Fatal Error log**: Share a copy of any fatal error log found under **WooCommerce**
      → **Status** → **Logs**.
 * Additionally, please can you share a screenshot of the error you are seeing on
   your end.

   please follow the instructions on that page, then paste the URL in this thread._
