Background of the issue:
I was trying to update a post in the backend of my WordPress site. This issue occurs when I save any WooCommerce product that is not in the primary language. The problem started after updating to version 4.7.6. The issue can be seen at this URL: hidden link.
Symptoms:
I encountered an error message: 'Illegal offset type in isset or empty' in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/classes/core-abstract-classes/class-wpml-element-translation.php on line 282. Instead of seeing 'Product updated', I got an 'Uncaught Error'.
Questions:
Why am I getting an 'Illegal offset type' error when saving a WooCommerce product?
How can I resolve the error to successfully update products in non-primary languages?
Hi there. After doing a plugin conflict test. I found the issue is from this plugin: WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency Version 5.5.0.
Kindly advise the next steps and how this can be fixed, even if it's just a temporary fix/patch for now. Thanks.
To help me further debug this issue, I’d like to set up your site on my local machine and do some more digging. Could you please share the wp-content and database backup of your site? You can zip these files and send them to me using a file-sharing platform like Google Drive. That way, I can take a look and see what’s going on.
I am downloading the files, in the meantime, can you try to update WooCommerce Multilingual to the latest version and see if the problem exists? We recently released an update of the plugin.
Our WPML updates are distributed gradually. If your websites haven't received this update yet, please be patient, and you should see it within a few days.
