Reporting fatal error | WordPress.org

We’re using this plugin in conjunction with https://wordpress.org/plugins/print-invoices-packing-slip-labels-for-woocommerce/.

We’re using Woo’s API to programmatically create orders; however, these calls are failing due to the following error:

thrown in /home/example/public_html/wp-content/plugins/mpdf-addon-for-pdf-invoices/wt-woocommerce-packing-list-mpdf.php on line 301

In /wp-content/plugins/mpdf-addon-for-pdf-invoices/wt-woocommerce-packing-list-mpdf.php, could lines 301 through 308 be updated to:

$children = $product_table_body_elm->children( 0 );
if( $children ) {
foreach( $children->children() as $td_elm ) {
if( $td_elm->tag == 'td' ) {
$td_elm->style = $product_table_body_style;
}
}
}

This’ll run that code only when the parent node has children and prevent the fatal error.

Thanks!
