I am developing a Woocommerce dependent plugin which works, and a settings page which behaves funky and throws a Class 'WC_Settings_Page' not found Fatal Error
if ( !defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {exit;}
if ( !class_exists( 'WooCommerce_Chilexpress_Tags_Settings' ) ) {
class WooCommerce_Chilexpress_Tags_Settings extends WC_Settings_Page{
...
}
function my_plugin_add_settings() {
return new WooCommerce_Chilexpress_Tags_Settings();
}
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_get_settings_pages', 'my_plugin_add_settings', 15 );
this code is in a includes/mysettings.php which is loaded during the plugin init, which alphabetically is woocommerce-chilexpress-etiquetas, so it should be loaded after woocommerce
For a reason I don't understand yet, my plugin settings are loaded always before WooCommerce Settings though throwing me a PHP Fatal Error:
PHP Fatal error: Class 'WC_Settings_Page' not found
The obvious dirty fix was to insert the WC_Settings_Page code into my own settings. I am trying now to clean this up but somehow it won't work...
So the (yes I know very broad) question is: What could I miss?

Reset to default 6The problem is, by the time your WooCommerce_Chilexpress_Tags_Settings is defined, WC_Settings_Page has indeed not yet loaded; hence you got the fatal error.
And if you want to do it the same way that WooCommerce does it, place the WooCommerce_Chilexpress_Tags_Settings in a separate PHP file, e.g. includes/class-woocommerce-chilexpress-tags-tettings.php, and initialize the class from that file — i.e. return an instance of WooCommerce_Chilexpress_Tags_Settings like so:
<?php
// class-woocommerce-chilexpress-tags-tettings.php
defined( 'ABSPATH' ) || exit;
class WooCommerce_Chilexpress_Tags_Settings extends WC_Settings_Page {
...
}
return new WooCommerce_Chilexpress_Tags_Settings();
and include it from my_plugin_add_settings():
function my_plugin_add_settings( $settings ) {
$settings[] = include 'path/to/includes/class-woocommerce-chilexpress-tags-tettings.php';
return $settings;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_get_settings_pages', 'my_plugin_add_settings' );
And if you noticed, you need to return the $settings from my_plugin_add_settings().
See working example: https://gist.github/bekarice/34aaeda2d4729ef87ad7
You should do something like this:
// If this file is called directly, abort.
defined('ABSPATH') or exit();
if ( !class_exists( 'WooCommerce_Chilexpress_Tags_Settings' ) ) {
function my_plugin_add_settings() {
class WooCommerce_Chilexpress_Tags_Settings extends WC_Settings_Page {
// Your class and your code / logic
}
return new WooCommerce_Chilexpress_Tags_Settings();
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_get_settings_pages', 'my_plugin_add_settings', 15 );
}
