get_woocommerce_term_meta is deprecated

Hi,

Are you seeing this on the front end? Or is this in a log file?

Deprecated functions are sometimes left behind for compatibility.

Thank you.

in debug
showing in dashboard & front end when viewing a product. Probably just me but never experienced before.

It’s only showing because debug is enabled and verbose? Then I think you are safe to ignore it.

This function is deprecated, that’s why we throw the warning you are seen, but we don’t use this function on WooCommerce anymore, so it’s probably another plugin causing it

Thanks Claudio! Resolving this thread.

Hi @adityab995
I visited rareout.com and can’t see any warning?

@tandon when we deprecate function in WC core, it takes some time until plugin authors migrate away from using the deprecated functions. If you need to run with WP_DEBUG turned on and absolutely need to hide the Notice, then you can use filter deprecated_function_trigger_error to turn off the deprecated notice, e.g.

add_filter( ‘deprecated_function_trigger_error’, ‘__return_false’ );

Hello

After I upgraded Woocommerce to 3.6 I too see this error:

Notice: get_woocommerce_term_meta is deprecated since version 3.6! Use get_term_meta instead. in /home/MYSITE/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4329

it is disdplaying on single product page and on category page as well.
Not sure I understand how you solved this problem, so can you please advise.
Thanks

Apart from disabling verbose error reporting which should work for most , and the filter peterfabien1000 provides you can simply search for the occurrence of “get_woocommerce_term_meta” in all the files and replace it with “get_term_meta” and it should work fine , though of course make backups of any files that you change and test first on test server if you can.
E.g. on linux run : grep -rl “get_woocommerce_term_meta” ./ from the wp-content directory then you shoudl get a list of all files that you need to change (dont change wc-deprecated-functions.php file though).
Note that unless plugin authors dont update any files that contain this then an update could return the error.

not helping ??

I solved this by going to my wp-config.php file and changing this:

define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);

to this:

define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);

Hope this helps someone.

Thank you, @elizcardinal! That worked for me.

My concern, though, is that the problem isn’t fixed. I’m not sure how to find out what is actually causing the error. Suggestions, anyone? Thanks!

As suggested by @elizcardinal disabling the debug output it will hide the “Notice” but as @traypup said hiding doesn’t mean fixing (by the way the debug output should be disabled on a production website: less informations shown means a more secure website).

If you really need to “fix” this “Notice” you have to search your plugins and themes for the “get_woocommerce_term_meta” function and contact the plugin/theme developer for an updated fully compatible version of it.

If you cannot get an updated version (and you are on a WordPress at least 4.4) you have to manually replace every call to the “get_woocommerce_term_meta” function to “get_term_meta” function, PAYING ATTENTION that “get_woocommerce_term_meta” and “get_term_meta” are taking three parameters (“$term_id”, “$key” and “$single”) but “$single” is optional and on “get_woocommerce_term_meta” has a default value of “true” while on “get_term_meta” has a default value of “false”.

This procedure could be similarly applied also on another deprecated function, the “delete_woocommerce_term_meta” that has to be replaced with “delete_term_meta”.
