New in Version 1.1.8

• Fixed: Fatal Error on Order Edit Screen (Critical Fix)

  • Resolved « Call to a member function get_data() on bool » crash occurring on line 108 of the shipping label class.
  • Root cause: $getOrderproductmname was a redundant second wc_get_order() call that could return false (bool) when the order ID variable was undefined, causing a fatal error when get_data() was called on it.
  • Fix: Removed the redundant wc_get_order() call entirely. The already-resolved $dhl_order order object is now reused directly, which is guaranteed valid by the guard above it.
  • $dhl_order_id has been restored and is always correctly set from $dhl_order->get_id().
  • The order guard has been strengthened from a loose truthy check (!$dhl_order) to a strict type check (!$dhl_order instanceof WC_Order), preventing any non-order value from passing through.

• Fixed: Fatal Error on Cash on Delivery Field (Critical Fix)

  • Resolved « Call to a member function get_total() on null » crash occurring on line 434 of the shipping label class.
  • Root cause: The Cash on Delivery input field in the meta box HTML was still referencing the old $getOrderproductmname variable, which no longer exists after the above fix.
  • Fix: Replaced $getOrderproductmname->get_total() with $dhl_order->get_total(), which is the correct, already-validated order object.
  • All remaining references to $getOrderproductmname have been removed from the file — a full scan confirms zero occurrences remain.

• Improved: Order Object Handling

  • Eliminated all redundant wc_get_order() calls inside the meta box render function.
  • Order data, items, and totals are now all retrieved from a single validated $dhl_order instance.
  • Reduces database queries per page load on the order edit screen.
