Woocommerce 2.1.5 – _shipping_method has been moved!

    Hi there!

    I just updated a webshop using Woocommerce and your (pro) plugin. My customer used to be able to sort on the selected shipping method. He uses this in order to process his orders.

    Now, I guess WooCommerce has decided to move the shipping method field in the database structure, from 1 table to another. This makes the custom field (_order_shipping) we were using turn up empty.

    So the meta_key used to be _shipping_method in the wp_postmeta table. Now the meta_key is method_id in the wp_woocommerce_order_itemmeta.

    Could you give me a pointer on how to solve this? Is there anyway to get the meta_key method_id to show up in the custom fields in your plugin?

    Thanks in advance!

    It’s possible to solve this, but it’s not possible without programming knowledge. Are you familiar with PHP and WordPress’ action and filter hooks?

    Only basic knowledge, but I’m comfortable playing around with it..

    In that case, it’s going to be difficult to achieve this. However, if you feel like trying: you’ll want to create your own custom column type (see this tutorial). The hard part in this is actually implementing the get_raw_value()-function from the column class. In there, you should be using WooCommerce functions to fetch the shipping method for the order.

    I hope this helps you. If not, the advisable way to achieve this would be to hire a WordPress-developer implement the new column type for you.
