This replaces all of the plugin files with a fresh copy while preserving your store’s data and settings. I recommend trying this on a staging site first to ensure your live site remains unaffected.[https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-staging/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-staging/) * You can do this by following these steps: 1. Download the latest version of WooCommerce from the WordPress plugin repository: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/) 2. In your WordPress dashboard, go to **Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin**. 3. Upload the WooCommerce ZIP file you downloaded. 4. When prompted that the plugin already exists, choose **Replace current with uploaded**. 5. Wait for the installation to complete, then verify whether the error still occurs. * This process only replaces the WooCommerce plugin files. Your products, orders, and store settings will remain intact. * Please let us know whether reinstalling WooCommerce resolves the issue or if you continue to see the error afterward.
