 * This kind of problem is usually caused by a conflict with your theme or with 
   another plugin.
      The best way to determine this is to:
    - Temporarily switch your theme to [Storefront](https://www.woocommerce.com/storefront/)
    - Disable all plugins except for WooCommerce
    - Repeat the action that is causing the problem
 * This is best done on a staging site. That’s a copy of your live site, so you 
   can test things out without making changes to your actual site. Some hosting 
   companies offer a staging site service within their hosting plans. If yours does
   not, there is a great free plugin that will allow you to build a complete staging
   site with a few button clicks: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-staging](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-staging).
 * If you’re not seeing the same problem after completing the conflict test, then
   you know the problem was with the plugins and/or theme you deactivated. To figure
   out which plugin is causing the problem, reactivate your other plugins one by
   one, testing after each, until you find the one causing conflict. [You can find a more detailed explanation on how to do a conflict test here.](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/how-to-test-for-conflicts/)

 * Hi, I’m not able to restart the WooCommerce plugin without the fatal error. (
   see above).
    – I made a WPstaging – used/installed Storefront (in place of Astra)–
   deactivated all plugins (except Elementor) and then activated Woocommerce with
   fatal error as result.

 * Hey [@ibice](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ibice/)
 * Can you try to deactivate Elementor as well to see if you can then activate WooCommerce?
 * If you can, make sure to update WooCommerce to version 5.2.2 and then you can
   try to activate Elementor again.
