 * Hi since I updated woocommerce I have gotten this error below. Fortunately was
   a staging site. All plugins were disabled at the time so I don’t think its a 
   conflict. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance
 * An error of type E_ERROR was caused in line 44 of the file /home/databasenameremoved/
   public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/packages/action-scheduler/classes/
   migration/ActionScheduler_DBStoreMigrator.php. Error message: Uncaught RuntimeException:

 * It appears that an update of WooCommerce today at approx 11.07 UTC has caused
   a fatal error on all my websites with WooCommerce installed, similar to the problem
   above. This is the message that I’m getting on my websites:-
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘:’, expecting ‘{‘ in /hermes/bosnacweb04/
   bosnacweb04cd/b1249/myd.swancreations/public_html/kam/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/
   woocommerce.php on line 56
    There has been a critical error on your website.
 * By disabling the WooCommerce and associated plugins (vias FTP), I can bring the
   sites back up, but without their ecommerce shops! WordPress emailed my (built
   in feature from v5.2) to say the error is with the WooCommerce plugin.

 * I understand your site went down after the latest WooCommerce update. Your sites
   works fine when you disable WooCommerce and associated plugins via SFTP.
 * Since this is something that I am not able to replicate on my end, this kind 
   of problem is usually caused by either a conflict with your theme or with another
   plugin.
      The best way to determine this is to:
    - Temporarily switch your theme to [Storefront](https://www.woocommerce.com/storefront/)
    - Disable all plugins except for WooCommerce
    - Repeat the action that is causing the problem
 * If you’re not seeing the same problem after completing the conflict test, then
   you know the problem was with the plugins and/or theme you deactivated. To figure
   out which plugin is causing the problem, reactivate your other plugins one by
   one, testing after each, until you find the one causing conflict. [You can find a more detailed explanation on how to do a conflict test here.](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/how-to-test-for-conflicts/)
 * Let us know how that goes.

 * All sorted now. After lots of googling and trial and error. At least it looks
   to be *fingers crossed very tightly*
 * Ill post here in case it helps others in future
 * Turns out the stream plugin was broken and was creating empty tables. It was 
   ultimately an action scheduler error.
 * So I
 * 1. deleted the stream plugin
    2. Went to Woocommerce > status . Theres was an
   error message about the empty stream database . I refreshed the page and the 
   tables were back
 * THEN I updated Woocommerce and so far all good.

   it. Thank you for sharing the forum link that helped resolve your problem.
 * I’m going to mark this as resolved – if you have any further questions, you can
   start a new thread.
