I’m a programmer with some experience, but I don’t have a WordPress background.
Lately my client’s WoPr site is spewing out huge numbers of errors, and there doesn’t seem to be a single point of origin (e.g. one “bad plugin”). To quote a few little bits at random:
[10-Dec-2025 14:42:29 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Interface "ActionScheduler_Schedule" not found in /home/EXAMPLE/public_html/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/packages/action-scheduler/deprecated/ActionScheduler_Schedule_Deprecated.php:6

It is not related to one area. Basically every plugin (WooCommerce, Elementor, etc.) seems to throw up periodically, and all errors seem to be related to missing or non-existent elements. This suggests to me that there may be a namespace issue where nothing can find its own scripts.
I don’t really know where to start. Is this a known failure pattern for WordPress people? How do I debug? I come from a comfortable Windows desktop C# background where I could always chase a stack trace. Here I don’t know where to start, when third-party code has fatal consequences.
Additionally, the client’s site is working fine, we don’t see any visual issues, but I’m concerned about what could be going wrong behind the scenes.
