Fatal error on Woocommerce update

Thanks for the details. We’ll get this added to our list for the next update.

I just noticed you said the error doesn’t go away even if you deactivate the plugin..?? That would mean the error must not be coming from our plugin.

Hello
@angelleye
even after updating to woocommerce Version: 3.0.8 i still get the same error.

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function is_on_sale() on null in /home/windowsh/public_html/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/single-product/sale-flash.php:26 Stack trace: #0 /home/windowsh/public_html/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/wc-core-functions.php(204): include() #1 /home/windowsh/public_html/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/wc-template-functions.php(950): wc_get_template(‘single-product/…’) #2 /home/windowsh/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(298): woocommerce_show_product_sale_flash(”) #3 /home/windowsh/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(323): WP_Hook->apply_filters(”, Array) #4 /home/windowsh/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php(453): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #5 /home/windowsh/public_html/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/content-single-product.php(48): do_action(‘woocommerce_bef…’) #6 /home/windowsh/public_html/wp-includes/template.php(686): require(‘/home/windowsh/…’) #7 /home/windowsh/public_html/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/wc-core-f in /home/windowsh/public_html/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/single-product/sale-flash.php on line 26

the php file has the same code

<?php
/**
* Single Product Sale Flash
*
* This template can be overridden by copying it to yourtheme/woocommerce/single-product/sale-flash.php.
*
* HOWEVER, on occasion WooCommerce will need to update template files and you
* (the theme developer) will need to copy the new files to your theme to
* maintain compatibility. We try to do this as little as possible, but it does
* happen. When this occurs the version of the template file will be bumped and
* the readme will list any important changes.
*
* @see https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/template-structure/
* @author WooThemes
* @package WooCommerce/Templates
* @version 1.6.4
*/

if ( ! defined( ‘ABSPATH’ ) ) {
exit; // Exit if accessed directly
}

global $post, $product;

?>
<?php if ( $product->is_on_sale() ) : ?>

<?php echo apply_filters( ‘woocommerce_sale_flash’, ‘<span class=”onsale”>’ . esc_html__( ‘Sale!’, ‘woocommerce’ ) . ‘</span>’, $post, $product ); ?>

<?php endif;

/* Omit closing PHP tag at the end of PHP files to avoid “headers already sent” issues. */

Hi @ndungu,

After a careful review of the above error that you have sent, it’s not something coming from our plugin, though. But from core woocommerce files which tell me that either the theme you are using is not yet compatible with the latest release or the template files are still outdated. Did you contact the theme author and reported this error to them. Just in case if they have noticed it or not? If you can please contact them and see what they say. If they still refer back to us then we will definitely gonna help you through this situation.

Cheers
