 * [4 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/e_compile_error-36/)
 * I have updated to the latest version of Woocommerce (5.8.0) and the plugin is
   now causing a fatal error on my site.
 * I have disabled all plugins and identified that it is Woocommerce that is causing
   the issue.
 * I have attempted to rollback to 5.7.1 but the fatal error persists.
 * I have deleted the plugin and reinstalled 5.8.0 and activated the plugin on its
   own (no other plugins activated) and the fatal error persists.
 * I am running PHP 7.4, Ocean WP theme, and all other plugins and themes are up-
   to-date.

 * Hi there,
 * Thanks for sharing with us your error logs.
 * Could you please also share a copy of your site’s System Status? You can find
   it via WooCommerce > Status. Select “Get system report” and then “Copy for support”.
   Once you’ve done that, paste it here in your response.
 * Thanks.

 * Hi Mirko.
 * Thanks for getting back to me. I cannot activate the Woocommerce plugin (attempting
   to activate it crashes the site) so I cannot navigate to the Woocommerce > Status
   area of my dashboard. Is there an alternative way to generate/access this report?
 * Thanks.

 * Hi [@jonstubbington](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jonstubbington/),
 * Great point. It definitely won’t be possible to pull the WooCommerce status report
   without it active. Let’s do this. If you’re still having trouble, please go to
   Tools > Site Health and click on the “Info” link at the top. There is a “Copy
   site info” button here. Click that and paste it here in your reply.

 * Hi [@3sonsdevelopment](https://wordpress.org/support/users/3sonsdevelopment/)
 * Before downloading the site health information I tried activating the Woocommerce
   plugin once again and, this time, it worked. Other than updating some of my other
   plugins as updates became available, I have not made any other changes to the
   site, so I am guessing it might have been a conflict with another plugin that
   has been resolved when I updated whichever plugin was causing the conflict?
 * At any rate, the issue now seems to be resolved. Thanks for your help.

 * Hi [@jonstubbington](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jonstubbington/),
 * That is great to hear! We are thrilled the issue has been resolved.
 * I hope you have a great day! (:
