Description:
The client has reported encountering the following PHP warning when attempting to add a product to the cart in WordPress.org platform:

[27-Nov-2024 17:26:37 UTC] PHP Warning: Attempt to read property “ID” on bool in …/public_html/wp-content/plugins/dokan-lite/includes/wc-template.php on line 59
[27-Nov-2024 17:26:37 UTC] …/public_html/wp-content/plugins/dokan-lite/templates/global/product-tab.php on line 43

Issue Summary:

This warning is triggered when the product retrieval fails, resulting in a boolean value (false) instead of a WP_Post object. The warning occurs because the code attempts to access the ID property on a boolean value.

Suggested Fix:

We need to add a validation check to ensure that the product object is correctly retrieved before accessing its properties.

Files Affected:

• dokan-lite/includes/wc-template.php (Line 59)
• dokan-lite/templates/global/product-tab.php (Line 43)

Expected Outcome:

Adding a proper validation check before accessing product properties should prevent this warning from occurring, improving the stability and reliability of the plugin.
