woocommerce meta data

Unfortunately WC_Order is no longer a post object. The ‘add_meta_boxes’ action (and the JSM Show Post Metadata callback) expects a post object (or an extended post object):

Actually you can still add meta boxes to the new order table, you just need to change the screen parameter. This is how I have done in my plugin:

// Register action in constructor or init method

add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', array( $this, 'meta_boxes' ) );

public function meta_boxes() {

// Add meta box to old orders screen (using posts table)
add_meta_box(
'my-plugin-id',
__( 'My Plugin Meta Box Title', 'my-plugin-namespace' ),
array( $this, 'meta_box_output' ),
'shop_order',
'side',
'high'
);

// Add meta box to new orders screen (using orders table)
add_meta_box(
'my-plugin-id',
__( 'My Plugin Meta Box Title', 'my-plugin-namespace' ),
array( $this, 'meta_box_output' ),
'woocommerce_page_wc-orders',
'side',
'high'
);

}

And in the meta_box_output function, I simply get the order like this:

public function meta_box_output( $order ) {

    if ( get_class( $order ) === 'WP_Post' ) {
        $order = wc_get_order( $order->ID );
    }

    // Do stuff with $order
}

@sarikk The issue is not adding a metabox to the order editing page – that’s not a problem – the issue is that orders are no longer WP_Post objects and WordPress meta data functions can no longer be used (WC order meta is now located in a different database table and has a different format).

I’ve written a new plugin to support WC order objects and metadata. It has been submitted to the www.ads-software.com plugin directory, but that may take a few weeks before it is approved. Meanwhile, you can find the plugin on GitHub at: https://github.com/jsmoriss/jsm-show-order-meta
