# Product Blocks causing critical error

 *  Resolved [n00b82](https://wordpress.org/support/users/n00b82/)
 * (@n00b82)
 * [4 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/product-blocks-causing-critical-error/)
 * This morning I received an email saying:
    “In this case, WordPress caught an 
   error with one of your plugins, WooCommerce Blocks”
 * I used the FTP to change the plugin name to deactivate it.
    I changed my theme
   to Storefront. I disable all non woo plugins. Cleared my browser cache. I have
   w3 Total Cache so I purged all cache there. I’ve also tried de-activating the
   plugin completely. I re-activated plugins one by one. It definitely seems to 
   be an issue with the product blocks.
 * Every time I try to re-activate the products blocks plugin I get the same message:
   “
   There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site admin
   email inbox for instructions.”
 * Without having the products plugin activated I cannot see the Woocommerce tab
   in the left column, and cannot generate a status report.
 * I’ve gone through the woocommerce troubleshooting guide and the wordpress troubleshooting
   guide.
 * Please help?

 * I also just realized that in addition to the Woocommerce tab, Products, Payments,
   Analytics, and Marketing tabs are all gone as well.
 * My FTP files include Woocommerce plugin, but it’s not listed in my dashboard 
   list of plugins. I’ve tried to go to the install a new plugin page and installing
   it, but it says the destination file already exists.
 * I am so very confused.

 * I uninstalled the entire WooCommerce plugin and installed a fresh download, as
   well s Woocommerce Blocks, and the error has resolved itself.
 * However, now I’m trying to create a page and no matter which block I try to insert
   it gives me an error messages:
    Error loading block. Invalid block. or This block
   has encountered an error and cannot be previewed.

 * Hi there [@n00b82](https://wordpress.org/support/users/n00b82/) 👋🏽
 * OK, so I am glad to see that the WooCommerce issue is now solved.
 * > However, now I’m trying to create a page and no matter which block I try to
   > insert it gives me an error messages:
 * I have one question, is the problem happening with any block or just with the`
   WooCommerce Blocks`?
 * Please get back to us with that information and it would be great if you could
   share your current System Status Report too. You can get it by navigating to 
   the `WooCommerce / Status` section of your site. Once there, click on the `Get
   system report` button and then copy it by clicking on the `Copy for support` 
   button. Then paste it here in a comment.
 * Keep us posted, we’ll be glad to keep troubleshooting this issue with you.
 * Cheers!

 * I think it may have been the woocommerce plugin itself because it wasn’t showing
   up in my dashboard plugins list, but it was showing up on the FTP side. When 
   I deleted the folder and installed the new download it all worked fine.
 * The blocks error was from my theme disabling text on certain pages * face palm*
 * But just in case it helps anyone in the future with the plugin issue, here is
   the system report:
