Fatal error when WooCommerce is unavailable

[ad_1]

Hi, I noticed that when (for whatever reason) WooCommerce is not available, both admin and front-end become inaccessible. The following fatal error appears in debug.log

[27-Aug-2024 00:06:38 UTC] PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Class "WC_Shipping_Method" not found in /home/XXX/public_html/wp-content/plugins/flexible-shipping/classes/table-rate/flexible-shipping-settings.php:21

This happened to me after a failed automatic update that somehow completely removed WooCommerce. It took me a while to discover that it was the missing (but otherwise marked as activate) WooCommerce plugin that was the root cause of the fatal error 😉

Might be a good idea to check for WC core class before loading any Flexible Shipping modules?
