Select2 ajax error solution
-
For those still suffering the WC v3 Select2 ajax errors when adding orders manually, or doing things elsewhere on the website where the conflict is happening.
To fix, disable the plugin/theme loading the old version of Select2 and contact the author.
Solution mentioned in the stickied thread is an unrealistic solution: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/3-0-error-option-ajax-is-not-allowed-for-select2/
To fix, downgrade to WooCommerce v2.6.14 until all other plugin/theme authors decide when/if to make the switch to the newer Select2 version.
Steps involved:
– Make full website backup
– Deactivate/Delete WooCommerce v3
– Download WC v2.6.14 zip file: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/archive/2.6.14.zip
– From admin area click Plugin > Add New
– Click on the upload plugin button
– Select the zip file of WC v2.6.14
– Activate

I recommend creating a migration using the following plugin: https://en-au.ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/
Then setup a staging area and import the migration to it. You can then deactivate/delete WC v3 on your live version without any worries what-so-ever. Once you’ve downgraded to the previous WC version, you’ll be able to see what’ll happen to the orders. I seriously doubt you will lose anything, as I haven’t noticed much of a difference, but in any case you’ll have the migration to return back to your original state if anything were to go wrong.
