Issue with shop_order post status

I’ve got to update a theme that someone else coded around the time WC 2.1 came out. The impetus for this was a custom function attached to wp_head that is designed to look at the orders submitted and completed to make sure there is sufficient stock to fill the order.

The line that was triggering a fatal error was as follows:

    $query_args = array(
        'post_status' => 'publish', // <-- this
        'post_type' => 'shop_order',
        'posts_per_page' => -1
    );

Per the instructions published here, I updated the offending line to the following:

    $query_args = array(
        'post_status' => array( 'wc-processing', 'wc-completed' ), // <-- updated
        'post_type' => 'shop_order',
        'posts_per_page' => -1
    );

That was enough to fix the issue and get the site up and running for the time being.

That said, I decided it’s probably time to do a tune-up on the broader theme to make sure the templates were being brought up-to-date and so forth so that another deprecated item doesn’t knock it offline.

Currently, putting an item in the cart and going to the checkout page ends up with a fatal error in wp_head. Going through things narrows the issue down to that one line again (post-fix!). Commenting it out allows the function to complete and the page loads normally. Leaving it in throws a fatal error and produces a white page.

While I can’t link to the site for privacy reasons, here is the full code for the function causing the issue:

function bcm_stock_check() {
    $max_orders = (get_option('bcm_max_orders')) ? get_option('bcm_max_orders') : 25;

    $args = array(
        'post_status' => array( 'wc-processing', 'wc-completed' ),
        'post_type' => 'shop_order',
        'posts_per_page' => -1
    );

    $orders = new WP_Query($args);

    $num_orders = 0;

    if ($orders->have_posts()):
        while ($orders->have_posts()):$orders->the_post();
            $order_id = get_the_ID();

            if ($order_id):
                $order = new WC_Order($order_id);

                if ($order->status == 'processing'):
                    $num_orders++;
                endif;
            endif;
        endwhile;
    endif;

    if ($num_orders >= $max_orders):
        update_post_meta(21, '_stock_status', 'outofstock'); // outofstock
    endif;
}

add_action('wp_head', 'bcm_stock_check');

Is there something I’m missing about the order status that’s causing the error?
