# New Email Editor Causing Multiple Errors on Website

 * The new email editor is causing several critical issues on our website:
    1. Customers encounter an error page after completing checkout.
    2. All email-related actions in the backend—such as marking an order as “Completed”—
       also result in an error page.
    3. Customers are not receiving any emails.
 * I was previously using the “WooCommerce Email Template Customizer Premium” plugin,
   but the issues occur regardless of whether the plugin is activated or deactivated.

 * Hi there!
 * Thank you for explaining the issue in detail. However, I wasn’t able to replicate
   the issue on my end. I also tried placing a test order and didn’t encounter any
   issues on the checkout page.
 * Just to confirm, are you currently using the latest version of WooCommerce?
 * Also, could you please share a **screenshot of the error message** you’re seeing
   on the checkout page?
 * 
   In the meantime, I’d like to understand your site properly. Please share with
   us the necessary information below for us to investigate the issue further:
    - **System Status Report** which you can find via WooCommerce > Status
 * Please use [https://pastebin.com/](https://pastebin.com/) or [https://gist.github.com/](https://gist.github.com/)
   and share a link to that paste in reply here. Once we have more information, 
   we’ll be able to assist you further.

   same issue.

 * As you can see, after checkout, customers are seeing an error page—however, the
   order is actually created successfully. As mentioned earlier, the issue seems
   to be related to the email system.

 * Hi there!
 * Thank you for sharing the screen recording.
 * I tried placing a test order on your site using the _Cash on Delivery_ payment
   method, but I wasn’t able to see any error message. I also tested this on my 
   own site using WooCommerce version 10.0.4 and didn’t encounter the issue.
 * Could you please try placing an order using _Cash on Delivery_ on your end and
   check if you’re able to replicate the same issue?
 * Additionally, the System Status Report link you shared has expired. Could you
   please share the report again?
 * Let me know what you find!

 * When using the **Cash on Delivery** payment method, the website shows an error
   directly on the checkout page. Although the order is successfully created, the
   page does not redirect to the **Thank You** page, and the customer does **not**
   receive the order confirmation email.

 * Hi there!
 * Thank you for sharing the video and system status report. Everything is appearing
   fine in the system status report.
 * To assist you further, could you please try running a conflict test? Please deactivate
   all plugins except WooCommerce and activate a default theme like Storefront. 
   Then, check if you still experience the same issue.
 * If you don’t want to affect your live site, you can create a staging site using
   a plugin like [WP Staging](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-staging/).
 * .

 * I’ve tried deactivating other plugins, but the issue still persists. The error
   only **does not occur** when I disable **“Block Email Editor (alpha)”**.
 * Additionally, enabling **Block Email Editor (alpha)** does **not** cause any 
   issues in version **9.9.5**. The problem only appears in **version 10 and above**.

 * Hi [@bboyfan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bboyfan/),
 * I looked back at your initial message and saw you mentioned you’re using Bricks
   Builder. Just to clarify — some themes and plugins, including Bricks, can be 
   incompatible with certain WooCommerce features, especially when there are recent
   updates. It’s not uncommon for conflicts to occur between Bricks and new theme-
   related changes in WooCommerce or WordPress.
 * Since it worked in a previous version, we’ll need to confirm if this is indeed
   a conflict. Please set up a staging site — you can do this by cloning your live
   site with a plugin like WP Migrate Guru to a subdomain or directory, or by using
   your host’s staging feature.
 * Once the staging site is ready, deactivate all plugins except WooCommerce, enable
   test mode in your payment plugin, and share the test card details with us so 
   we can run test payments. Then switch your theme to Twenty Twenty-Five (this 
   part is very important).
 * After that, generate a fresh system status report from the staging site and share
   it with us. We’ll review the setup and run tests to replicate the issues you 
   mentioned.

 * hi [@mosesmedh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mosesmedh/)
 * I just finished testing on the staging site, and I can confirm that the issue
   only occurs when using the **Bricks theme**. There are no errors when switching
   to the **Twenty Twenty-Five** theme.
 * By the way, the same error also occurs when using the **Hello theme**.

 * Hi [@bboyfan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bboyfan/),
 * Thanks so much for getting back to us with the results of your testing. We appreciate
   the time you’ve taken to investigate this!
 * It’s helpful to hear that the issue only occurs when using the Bricks theme and
   the Hello theme, and not with Twenty Twenty-Five. To better understand the scope,
   could you confirm if you’ve tested with any other themes besides the default 
   Twenty Twenty-Five or Storefront? Knowing whether the issue happens only with
   Bricks and Hello or across more themes will help us determine how widespread 
   the conflict may be.
 * If it’s isolated to those two themes, that does suggest a theme-level conflict
   with WooCommerce’s Block Email Editor. In that case, I’d recommend reaching out
   to the Bricks and Hello theme developers directly with your findings, especially
   since the issue doesn’t occur on older WooCommerce versions or default themes.
 * Let us know what you find, and we’ll be here to support however we can!

 * Hi there!
 * Thank you for the update!
 * Since the issue isn’t appearing when using Astra or Blocksy, reaching out to 
   the **Bricks theme team** sounds like the right next step.
 * If you’re happy with the support you received today, would you consider leaving
   us a quick review? It really helps us out and means a lot to the team:

 * Hi [@bboyfan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bboyfan/),
 * Thanks for the update and for sharing those screenshots!
 * It appears this is indeed a [known issue](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/59720)
   with the WooCommerce email block editor that others have encountered as well.
   The error occurs in the Theme Controller when it tries to merge arrays but receives
   null values for the “theme” key. Our development team is aware and are working
   on a fix.
 * As a workaround, you can temporarily disable the new email editor features:
    - Go to WooCommerce → Settings → Advanced → Features
    - Look for email-related feature flags and disable them
    - This should revert to the older email system while the issue is resolved
 * I hope that helps. Let us know if you need anything else.
