Problem going from 3.7.1 to 3.9.1

    My shopping site is running okay using version 3.7.1 of WooCommerce.

    I have created a staging site for it in which I upgraded WooCommerce to version 3.9.1 so I could test it out.

    When I display a category page, each product now displays the following error message:

    Notice: short_description was called incorrectly. Product properties should not be accessed directly.

    There than follows a lot of Backtrace information. Can anybody help explain what is causing this and how I can fix it.

    The only other difference between the live site and the staging site is that I have debug turned on in the staging site. I’m wondering if this message will appear if I turn on debug in the live site, but as that is working, I don’t really want to mess with it.

    I’ve turned debug off on the staging site, and the notice goes away. I’m presuming then that it will appear on the live site if I turn debugging on, indicating this is not an upgrade issue.

    I would still like to know how to fix it though and so any help would be appreciated.

    I meet the version requirements for 3.9 and so I don’t think there are compatibility issues. I’m pretty sure if I were to turn on debug for my live site (3.7), those notices would appear. I guess I’ll just have to research this one myself and try and figure out what is going on.

    Fixed. There was reference to $product->short_description in some code in the functions.php file and so I changed it to $product->get_short_description().
