How to fix PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot access offset of type string on string in wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/admin/class-wc-admin-brands.php

Disiarkan pada oleh Martin

If you’ve recently updated your WooCommerce plugin and attempted to import a layout, you might have encountered the following error:

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught TypeError: Cannot access offset of type string on string in wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/admin/class-wc-admin-brands.php:659

This error stems from a bug in the newest version of WooCommerce, specifically when importing layouts that depend on WooCommerce features. The issue can disrupt workflows for users who rely on these layouts for their websites.

Temporary Workaround

While we wait for an official fix from the WooCommerce development team, we’ve put together a temporary solution to help you bypass this problem. You can resolve the issue by following these steps:

  1. Open the file located at wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/admin/class-wc-admin-brands.php.
  2. Locate the following line of code:add_filter( 'pre_update_option_woocommerce_permalinks', array( $this, 'validate_product_base' ) );
  3. Comment out this line by adding // at the beginning, like so:// add_filter( 'pre_update_option_woocommerce_permalinks', array( $this, 'validate_product_base' ) );
  4. Save the file and test the layout import process again.
