Why I don’t think this is a third-party plugin conflict:
The fatal error happens inside woodmart-core.php itself, during the plugin-loading step of wp-settings.php (line 589) — before any other plugin’s code has executed. So no other plugin is in the call stack at the point of failure.
The failing line is a hardcoded require_once for inc/template-tags.php. I checked both the theme currently installed on the server and a fresh copy of the current Woodmart theme downloaded directly from Envato just now — in both, template-tags.php only exists inside a subfolder (inc/template-tags/template-tags.php), not directly under inc/.
This tells me woodmart-core v1.16 is still hardcoded to the old flat path, while the current theme structure expects it in the subfolder. Since Core plugin and theme are two separately versioned downloads, they drifted out of sync (theme was updated to current, Core plugin was not).
Question for support: Can you confirm the inc/template-tags.php path was moved/restructured in a theme update, and that Woodmart Core v1.18 is required to match it? I’m updating Core to 1.18 now — please let me know if there are any other companion plugins/versions I need to align as well.
