It looks like performing a search in the default search block is resulting in the above fatal error, correct?
This is not something I am able to replicate on my test site which uses the latest available version of WooCommerce core (8.4) and the default Storefront theme:
Does this occur when all plugins are deactivated except for WooCommerce? This can help us narrow down if a conflicting plugin is leading to the fatal error being triggered.
If you do not want to test on your live site, you can use the free Health Check plugin which will allow you to deactivate plugins while you’re still logged in, without affecting normal visitors to your site.
I’d also like to take a closer look at your sites current environment, can you please share a copy of your sites System Status Report. You can find this via WooCommerce → Status.
Select Get system report and then Download for Support. This will download a TXT file that has the contents of the SSR which you can then share with us here.
The issue appears only with a block theme. Tried with Twenty Twenty-Four and Twenty Twenty-Three. It doesn’t appear with a classic theme including the Storefront.
The search result shouldn’t be empty. In other words, use a keyword that is present in on your post.
Thank you for your reply and for detailing the issue you’re encountering with the default Search Block resulting in a fatal error when WooCommerce and LearnPress plugins are both active on your site.
I’ve attempted to reproduce this error by following the steps you provided, including navigating to http://your-site.com/?s=test, but I was unable to encounter the same fatal error on my end.
Since the problem seems specific to the combination of WooCommerce and LearnPress, it would be beneficial to bring this to the LearnPress support team’s attention for further troubleshooting. They may have more insights into conflicts between their plugin and the default search functionality.
Additionally, if you’re currently testing this on a local environment, it could be helpful to try replicating this issue on a live server, if possible. This could help clarify whether the issue is isolated to the local setup or if it persists in a live environment. Sometimes local environments have unique configurations that do not reflect a live server’s conditions.
Once you have more information or if the error continues on a live server, please feel free to get back in touch with us and we can continue to work on this together.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work to resolve this matter. 🙂
I’ll contact the LearnPress support as well. Hope they won’t redirect me to WooCommerce support because the fatal error refers to WooCommerce plugin 🙂
I prepared a fresh install with Twenty Twenty-Four theme, WooCommerce, and LearnPress. Please check it out https://woo.dan-fisher.dev To see the error enter “test” keyword in the search form in the header or go directly to https://woo.dan-fisher.dev/?s=test which is a search result page.
Btw, we were able to narrowed the error down. It appears if the search keyword matches an existing product category. For example, you enter “search” as a keyword and you have “Test” product category.
I’m not sure if I got you correctly. I just noted that the error appears on PHP 8.2+ However, if you use PHP 7.4 you got warnings, not errors. See screenshot https://share.cleanshot.com/2CNdFkhR
So, we can say that the issue exists on both PHP 7.4 and PHP 8.2+
I just thought that it would help you to recreate the error on your side. As you can see the issue is not solved. Would you mind to unmark the resolved status?
From what I gather, the errors appear with PHP version 8.2+.

Just to clarify, based on this message from earlier, did you already have a chance to test with having only the TT4 theme, and the WooCommerce plugin activated, and see if the errors persists, or otherwise?
When performing tests, with a test installation of mine, it all is error-free when having PHP version 7.4.x to 8.2.x selected.
Sorry for not being clear enough. Yes, I tested on PHP 7.4, PHP 8.1, PHP 8.2, and PHP 8.3. The only difference is that in PHP 7.4 only a warning appears. There is an error when PHP 8.1+ is used.
I tested with different block themes including TT4 and TT3. The issue appears if you’re using any block theme. Everything is ok if a classic theme is used.
I wanted to replicate this issue on my test site so I have set up a new site with the default TT4 theme. I have also installed WooCommerce and LearnPress plugins. My server is on PHP 8.1.
However, I am unable to reproduce the error you are seeing.
Could you please tell me if there are any other specific configurations I need to set up? I appreciate your continuous help in identifying this issue and finding its solution.
