I have an error in my Apache error.log file which I am trying to understand. Our WooCommerce driven sites are connected to an electronic warehouse system that manages our inventory and orders. I login into the system, DEAR, and use their integration to connect back to my store. It sets uses a REST API and creates two webhooks, order creation and order modified. Ok, that's the background. Now the warning: rather than be one line I've tried to break it out logically.

[Tue Mar 02 00:32:43 2021] [warn] [client XX.XX.XX.XX] mod_fcgid: stderr: id was called incorrectly.
Order properties should not be accessed directly. 
Backtrace: 
require('wp-blog-header.php'),
wp, WP->main, 
WP->parse_request,
do_action_ref_array('parse_request'),
WP_Hook->do_action, WP_Hook->apply_filters,

apply_filters('woocommerce_order_number'),
WP_Hook->apply_filters,
WC_Seq_Order_Number_Pro->get_order_number,
WC_Abstract_Legacy_Order->__get,
wc_doing_it_wrong.
This message was added in version 3.0.

The IP address is redacted but the error is related to the way how the order ID is requested by the REST API? After that, I get a bit hazy following the rest. Just so I am clear, I have absolutely no control over the way the Webhook works or is coded. What I do need to do is go to someone, be it WooCommerce (unlikely) or to DEAR, and ask them to resolve this. Overall, is this something I need to even worry about?

As an aside, I can say that the site works perfectly, with no other errors of note. This one is pretty much all I see in my logs.

Many thanks.

  • It means that you are accessing the id property of an object directly and not through a method. Try looking here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43231684/order-properties-should-not-be-accessed-directly-woocommerce-3-0 and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27385920/woocommerce-get-current-product-id – Vincenzo Di Gaetano Mar 03 '21 at 20:34
  • Thanks @VincenzoDiGaetano - is being generated by the IP address that I redacted? Thats the way I would interpret this? – mbprouser Mar 04 '21 at 09:40
  • [Here](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/logs.html) you can find documentation on Apache log files. The client IP address refers to the server that generated the error. – Vincenzo Di Gaetano Mar 04 '21 at 19:28
