Error when completing the setup

Hi @grodonkey,

Does this happen when only WooCommerce and Google Listings and Ads are active and the Twenty Twenty theme is used? If so, please open up a ticket at WooCommerce.com and include a link to this forum thread in it.

Thanks!

As a programmer, I can tell you that this line in particular stands out to me:
get_settings() must be of the type array, string returned

The question is if this is happening due to a bug in the plugin, or if some setting in our end is causing get_settings() to return a string instead of an array.

In any case, your plugin does not handle this error well. The user should be receiving more useful feedback when this happens rather than “Unable to complete setup. Please try again later”. We need some sort of indicator of what the actual problem is. Im happy to work with your development team to help resolve this issue since it looks like its affecting a few people already.

Yall are quick! thanks for updating and fixing this!

Unfortunately the problem still persists for me.
@3sonsdevelopment Yes, only those are active.

Hi @grodonkey,

Unfortunately the problem still persists for me.

Can you please confirm if you are using the latest version of this plugin which is v1.12.4? If not, can you please update the plugin to its latest version and check again?
