 * [@dimaw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dimaw/) Hi there, thank you for 
   reporting this. If you can please share a few more details to help us determine
   the cause it would be greatly appreciated.
 * 1) At what stage do you encounter this error?
    Were you accessing the Stories
   dashboard, or opening the editor? Did you add a new story or use an existing 
   template? What was the last action performed before encountering this error?
 * 2) Do you encounter this error if Web Stories is enabled by itself?
 * 3) Who is your hosting provider?
 * 4) To investigate this further, could you provide your [Site Health](https://i.imgur.com/Rtkmsba.png)
   information? You can share [privately](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd-AeFLOIJd4NLYz7EDUa9vMfzZIoT5Bn1leV3dL2CM_B1C6Q/viewform)
   if you prefer.

 * Hello [@luckynasan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/luckynasan/),
 * 1) The error is displayed when I open a shop page, wich is created by the plugin
   WCFM Multi Vendor Store ([https://wordpress.org/plugins/wc-multivendor-marketplace/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wc-multivendor-marketplace/))
   on the frontend. I i disable the Web Stories Plugin, the page load as expected.
 * 2) No, because the error is only shown on the store page.
 * 3) Hetzner in germany ([https://www.hetzner.com/de/cloud](https://www.hetzner.com/de/cloud))
 * 4) I have sent the information via the google doc.

 * Does the issue still occur when you disable the WCFM Multi Vendor Store plugin?
 * We’ll make a [change](https://github.com/google/web-stories-wp/issues/8713) to
   the Web Stories plugin to prevent this error in the meantime.

 * If I deactivate the WCFM plugin, I cannot call the corresponding store page on
   which the error occurs. But the error disappears when I deactivate the Web Stories
   plugin.

   a new version of the Web Stories for WordPress plugin which includes the change
   mentioned above. Could you please update to the latest version 1.10.1 and confirm
   this issue no longer occurs on your end?
 * Thank you!
