    Hi. Not sure how to replace the following code so I don’t get warnings in the error log. I have this error:

    [07-Dec-2022 09:03:49 UTC] woocommerce_add_order_item_meta is deprecated since version 3.0.0! Use woocommerce_new_order_item instead.

    From this code:

    add_action ('woocommerce_add_order_item_meta', 'add_item_meta', 10, 2);
function add_item_meta( $item_id, $values ) {
if($values['product_id']==230)
  {
    woocommerce_add_order_item_meta( $item_id, 'Flavours', $values['_goodlen'] );
  }
}

    Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Hi @greencode,

    Thank you for reaching out. The action that you are using (woocommerce_add_order_item_meta) has been deprecated and you should use woocommerce_new_order_item instead.

    In the code that you shared, the action hook woocommerce_add_order_item_meta is also being used as a method. That’s not expected for a hook.

    In summary, your code should look like this:

    add_action ('woocommerce_new_order_item', 'add_item_meta', 10, 2);
function add_item_meta( $item_id, $values ) {
   // your code will be here.
}

    I hope my answer helps. Please, take a look at the hooks documentation as well.

    Thanks!

    @fermarichal Thanks for the reply. I have tried the following and neither works:

    add_action ('woocommerce_new_order_item', 'add_item_meta', 10, 2);
function add_item_meta( $item_id, $values ) {
   woocommerce_add_order_item_meta( $item_id, 'Flavours', $values['_goodlen'] );
}
    add_action ('woocommerce_new_order_item', 'add_item_meta', 10, 2);
function add_item_meta( $item_id, $values ) {
   if ( empty( $values['_goodlen'] ) ) {
		return;
	}
	woocommerce_add_order_item_meta( $item_id, 'Flavours', $values['_goodlen'] );
}

    Hey @greencode,

    As I mentioned before, you are trying to use a hook as a method.

    
add_action ('woocommerce_new_order_item', 'add_item_meta', 10, 2);
function add_item_meta( $item_id, $values ) {
---->  woocommerce_add_order_item_meta( $item_id, 'Flavours', $values['_goodlen'] );
}

    So instead of this line woocommerce_add_order_item_meta( $item_id, 'Flavours', $values['_goodlen'] ); you should add your code to extend the WooCommerce functionalities.
