 * Anyone know what “Warning: strstr(): Empty needle in /home/mosesstore/public_html/
   wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/wc-page-functions.php on line 154” could
   possibly mean?

 * it basically means that a search of a string for another string was passed an
   empty string as the search term
 * from what i’ve seen on this, it’s likely a plugin conflict
 * have you already tried the process of disabling all plugins and enabling them
   one at a time?
 * if not please start there
 * also what version of woocommerce?

 * hey WPyogi – for my own knowledge, do we direct users to the plugin authors even
   if it’s a free plugin
 * i know from the rules that we try to help on free themes, but what about free
   plugins like woocommerce?
 * i apologize for just posting this, i couldn’t find a way to pm you

 * I’m using the latest version of Woocommerce.
 * If I disable plugins does it delete the information I’ve entered in them? Like
   if I were to disable woocommerce itself, would I have to re-enter everything?
   Thanks so much for your help!

 * generally this is safe to do
 * that being said take a backup first
 * than try disabling all plugins *except* for woocommerce and see what happens
 * here are some [known woocommerce issues](http://docs.woothemes.com/document/known-conflicts/)
   to make sure none of these apply to you
