Actually I think it is a WordPress bug, the setup_postdata() function should not trigger the “the_post” action without before triggering all of the previous actions. You can find a list of hooks in this page, http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference in the order they are supposed to be called.

As you will notice ‘the_post’ action is in 35th position, meaning that all of the functions attached to the previous actions are never called, like the one that is including the functions in Woocommerce.

I guess for this case is easier for WooCommerce to fix this error, but I think they are following the rules of WordPress on where to attach functions to specific hooks.

@heckmedia, let’s say you have something like this in your functions.php file, or any other plugin making this kind of requests with no hook attached:

$query = array('posts_per_page' => 11);
$results = new WP_Query($query);
while($results->have_posts()){
  $results->the_post();//This is the line causing the warnings
}

It should be like this:

function myQuery(){
  $query = array('posts_per_page' => 11);
  $results = new WP_Query($query);
  while($results->have_posts()){
    $results->the_post();//This line wont' cause the warnings anymor
  }
}
add_action('init', 'myQuery');
