# Woocommerce Fehler Typ E_COMPILE_ERROR

 * Since 09.07.2021, our shop is no longer accessible and we no longer have access
   to the backend.
 * Wordpress sent us the following email with the error message:
 * An error of the type E_COMPILE_ERROR was found in line 518 of the file
    /home/
   www/shop-romeoarts/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/class-wc-download-
   handler.php. Error message: Only variables can be passed by reference
 * Our WordPress version 5.7.2
    Current theme: Flatsome Child (version 3.0) Current
   plugin: WooCommerce (version 5.4.1) PHP version 7.4.16
 * Even the Woocommerce update to the latest version does not fix the error.
 * We solved the problem sporadically by deactivating line 514 of the file “class-
   wc-download-handler.php”.
 * With the deactivation of the LINE, the page is accessible, but it does not run
   smoothly and is slow. In addition, the following is appended to each page “/?
   v=3a52f3c22ed6”.
 * Unfortunately, the Woocomerce System Report shows no error.
 * Who can help us?
