Critical error with Woocommerce 6.2

While they look for the perfect answer, you can do the following:

1. Open woocommerce/includes/admin/class-wc-admin-dashboard-setup.php, scroll to the bottom, find the function “should_display_widget”.

2. Change it to:

public function should_display_widget() {
	return false;
}

This was a more proper temporary code fix for me:

public function should_display_widget() {
	return current_user_can( 'manage_woocommerce' ) &&
		WC()->is_wc_admin_active() &&
		( ! is_null($this->get_task_list()) && ! $this->get_task_list()->is_complete()) && // ! $this->get_task_list()->is_complete() &&
		! $this->get_task_list()->is_hidden();
}

Similar issue with WC:

Getting critical error notices all morning. Seems to be in WC 6.2 so I rolled back to 6.1.1 and the errors stopped.

Uncaught exception 'Error' with message 'Call to a member function is_complete() on null' in /nas/content/live/sevencolonial/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/admin/class-wc-admin-dashboard-setup.php:173

For me, disabling https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/disable-dashboard-for-woocommerce/ stopped the error, though I have that enabled for good reason as without it Woo would go nuts querying the 100+ sites on the network for the latest orders.

Dear @ablears @forthinc @smartsitesnj @jomar4444 @mister_r

The problem has been fixed.
Please update Disable WooCommerce Bloat plugin to its latest version (2.6.2).

Great. Thanks @ospiotr, this works with Woo 6.2.

I implemented MisterR’s suggestion and it worked but if I update the latest version of Disable WooCommerce Bloat will that cause an issue again? Will I need to change that code back to what it was or will it just work after I update because I couldn’t access the backend when this issue first happened.

Dear @martin89

Please follow these steps:

1. Deactivate Disable WooCommerce Bloat
2. Replace woocommerce/includes/admin/class-wc-admin-dashboard-setup.php file with original
3. Update Disable WooCommerce Bloat to the latest version
4. Activate Disable WooCommerce Bloat

Dear @ospiotr

Thank you so much, you’re a gem ??
