Hi,

the latest version of woocommerce-admin released 12 hours ago crashed two of my Sites: The error in the beginning means data memory not allowed:

Hi @terra3110, thanks for reporting this, and sorry to hear it has crashed your sites.

I was able to reproduce this with 2.1.1 and main under the following conditions:

• WooCommerce 4.7 installed.

• TheDeactivate old WooCommerce Admin version note exists.

I have labelled this as a critical bug. Although WC 4.7 is not supported by 2.1.1, this feels like it will be a bad experience for a number of users due to the fatal error.

I have found two possible workarounds at present.

1. Delete the note using SQL, for example:

   DELETE FROM wp_wc_admin_notes WHERE name = "wc-admin-deactivate-plugin"

or:

2. Update the WooCommerce plugin prior to installing this version of WooCommerce Admin.

I am investigating further.

Hi Adrian,

Many thanks. Yes, that make sense. I will go back to my Client and ask them to reconsider an Update Request that I submitted last December already. The Update of WooCommerce depend on the Update of WB Bakery and the Client did not want at the time to approve the Update. Maybe they reconsider now.

Sorry for the work, but I hope it helps with other Websites as well that experience the same.

Cheers

Frank

Update: I can reproduce this without the note being active. Steps to reproduce:

• Create a fresh WordPress site.
• Download the WooCommerce 4.7 zip and install it on the site.

See fatal error:

Hi @terra3110, I have added more technical detail in a new issue https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-admin/issues/6530.

We are currently working on a fix and I will report back here when that is available.

Hi @terra3110, we have addressed this issue in version 2.1.2 of WooCommerce Admin, which should now be available for you to update to.

I will close the issue now, but please re-open if you continue to experience it.
