I understand how unexpected debug logs like these can be confusing, especially when you’re not actively running anything in debug mode. * The place-order-debug logs you’re seeing are actually part of WooCommerce’s internal checkout tracking using the wc_log_order_step() function. They’re not error logs, but debug-level entries meant to track normal activity like when the checkout session starts or order data is updated. These can show up even if you haven’t explicitly enabled WP_DEBUG. * That said, if everything else on your checkout is functioning correctly and no orders are failing, these logs can be safely ignored. * If you’d still like us to review your setup further just to be sure, feel free to share: - Your System Status Report (WooCommerce → Status → Get system report), pasted at [https://pastebin.com](https://pastebin.com) or [https://gist.github.com](https://gist.github.com). - Any additional logs from WooCommerce → Status → Logs that seem related. * Let us know if you’d like to take a closer look, or if there are any issues completing orders on your end! * [guenther999](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guenther999/) * (@guenther999) * [10 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/order-debug-logs/#post-18548828) * Hello! * I have exactly the same error message. * We didn’t have these error messages before version 9.9.5. We also had various error messages from other plugins related to the PHP version (8.4.4), but these have been fixed by the providers. - This reply was modified 10 months, 3 weeks ago by [guenther999](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guenther999/). * Plugin Support [LovingBro (woo-hc)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lovingbro/) * (@lovingbro) * [10 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/order-debug-logs/#post-18548922) * Hi [@guenther999](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guenther999/) * Thanks for jumping in. Just to re-emphasize what I shared earlier, the place- order-debug entries you’re seeing are part of WooCommerce’s internal tracking system that logs normal checkout activity using the wc_log_order_step() function. These are debug-level logs and not errors, and they can show up even without WP_DEBUG being enabled. If checkout and order processing are working fine, there’s nothing to worry about here. * That said, I understand that you’re experiencing a similar issue after updating to version 9.9.5. * However, per forum best practices and guidelines, it’s always recommended to create a new topic so we can look into your case individually: [https://wordpress.org/support/forum-user-guide/faq/#:~:text=get%20individual%20help.-,I%20have%20the%20same%20problem,-!%20Can%20I%20just](https://wordpress.org/support/forum-user-guide/faq/#:~:text=get%20individual%20help.-,I%20have%20the%20same%20problem,-!%20Can%20I%20just). * You can start a new thread here: [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce/#new-topic-0](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce/#new-topic-0) * Please include as much detail as possible, such as your PHP version, active plugins, and any related logs, and we’ll be happy to take a closer look. * Thanks for your understanding!
