Can’t display product description

    I love your plug-in but I am really struggling to get the invoice to show the product description. I have read over and over your tutorial on how to add either a theme hook or create a custom template. But neither way works for me.

    I woud prefer to add the code in your documentation to the theme functions file:

    add_action( 'wpo_wcpdf_after_item_meta', 'wpo_wcpdf_show_product_full_description', 10, 3 );
function wpo_wcpdf_show_product_full_description ( $template_type, $item, $order ) {
    if (empty($item['product'])) return;
 
    $_product = wc_get_product( $item['product']->get_parent_id() );
    $description = $_product->get_description();
 
    printf('<div class="product-description">%s</div>', $description );
}

    But, when I do this, I get a fatal error:

    Fatal error: Call to a member function get_short_description() on boolean

    Please can you help!

    If you can supply a template as your ‘Simple’ basic template, but with the description already added, that would be helpful as well.

    Many thanks.

    Hello @grid24

    Sorry, was a bug in the documentation, already fixed.

    This should work:

    add_action( 'wpo_wcpdf_after_item_meta', 'wpo_wcpdf_show_product_full_description', 10, 3 );
function wpo_wcpdf_show_product_full_description ( $template_type, $item, $order ) {
    if (empty($item['product'])) return;
    if ( method_exists( $item['product'], 'get_description' ) ) {
        $_product = $item['product']->is_type( 'variation' ) ? wc_get_product( $item['product']->get_parent_id() ) : $item['product'];
        $description = $_product->get_description();
    }
 
    printf('<div class="product-description">%s</div>', $description );
}
