Wordpress Fixing WooCommerce 7.3.0+ Uncaught TypeError Cookies is defined

How to fix WooCommerce 7.3.0+ Uncaught TypeError : Cookies is undefined 

Recently, upgraded WooCommerce to Version 7.3.0.  

Strangely, I was getting the following error 

The following WooCommerce scripts was included for cookies

1	plugins/woocommerce/assets/js/js-cookie/js.cookie.min.js

Turns out v2.1.4 was release Apr 3, 2017

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

/*! * JavaScript Cookie v2.1.4 * https://github.com/js-cookie/js-cookie * * Copyright 2006, 2015 Klaus Hartl & Fagner Brack * Released under the MIT license */ ;(function (factory) {

Solution 

Upgrading to v3.0.1 released Sep 1, 2021, cleared the error. Why is this not part of the WooCommerce plugin upgrade? 

CDN - https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/js-cookie@3.0.1/dist/js.cookie.js

WordPress on Submit / Submissions goes to blank screen

 

Recently, witnessed an odd behavior on a WordPress site I maintain.

1. As logged in Administrator, and submit button would lead to blank screen, execute but not forward to next page.
2. As logged in Administrator, deleting a user, when selecting delete all contents, this would lead to a blank screen, execute but not forward. Refreshing screen, says user does not exist. 
3. As a user, of site any submission would lead to a blank screen. 

It was annoying and took me some time to find the issue, checked the error_log indicated the problem. 

1	[18-Feb-2023 07:14:33 UTC] PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/bond007/public_html/wp-content/themes/James/ functions.php:1) in

But after I restored a previous version of functions.php I could not find any differences, using WinMerge

I opened the file in VSCode, could not find anything on line 1 wrong. 

I opened the file in Notepad++, could not find anything on line 1 wrong. 

Then I opened the file in Fred an open-source hex editor. 

So then I remember, allong time ago, in far off land, I got BOMed. 

Issue: 

You should ensure that the included files do not start with a BOM.

You may also find that the BOM causes problems for an ordinary PHP page. When sending custom HTTP headers the code to set the header must be called before output begins. A BOM at the start of the file causes the page to begin output before the header command is interpreted, and may lead to error messages and other problems in the displayed page.

Solution:

Change Encoding type in Notepad++ to UTF-8. Then save.

Tips:

Pay attention to the bottom of your editor for the file type. 

Tail for Windows 10

Tial is orginally a Unix command that has been ported to Windows that prints last ‘N’ lines of any text file.

Tail command for Windows is one to the tools in the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools free upgrade provided by Microsoft. It has been discounted and not available from official Microsoft support sites any longer. Luckily, we have the Way Back Machine to our rescue.

Getting tail command for Windows

Firstly, download Windows resource kit from the Internet Archive link

📂Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools (English) : Microsoft Corporation : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive

Run the en_windows_server_2003_reskit.exe

It installs the tools in the default directory C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools


Add path to Environment Variable to avoid changing directory to the install directory
How to: Add Tool Locations to the PATH Environment Variable | Microsoft Learn

or unzip the msi and copy tail.exe to C:\Windows\System32 

1. Download 7-Zip from this page and install it.
2. Right-click on the .exe file (menu choose 7-Zip > Extract to "en_windows_server_2003_reskit\")
3. Navigate to folder and right-click on the rktools.msi file (from the menu choose 7-Zip > Extract to "rktools\"
4. Navigate to folder and copy tail.exe to c:\Windows\System32

Tail command usage

C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools>tail.exe /?
usage: TAIL [switches] [filename]*
switches: [-?] display this message
[-n] display last n lines of each file (default 10)
[-f filename] keep checking filename for new lines

Examples:

To print the last 10 lines of the file  data.txt:

tail -10 A.txt

To print the data as and when it’s added to the file:

tail -f A.txt

The above command is mostly used for viewing log files contents while more data is being written to them. Tail command with -f option does not terminate until the user presses [Ctrl]-[C].
