Uncaught Error: Call to a member function get_description()

Resolved

I got this error today :

Uncaught Error: Call to a member function get_description() on bool in /home/customer/www/coinhodlerclub.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/code-snippets/php/snippet-ops.php(446) : eval()'d code:12

This is what I wrote:

function display_product_description( $atts ){
   try { $atts = shortcode_atts( array(
        'id' => get_the_id(),
    ), $atts, 'product_description' );

    global $product;

    if ( ! is_a( $product, 'WC_Product') )
        $product = wc_get_product($atts['id']);
		
		return $product->get_description();
	  } catch(\Exception $e) {
	 echo $e->getMessage();
   }

    
}
add_shortcode( 'product_description', 'display_product_description' );

I’m new to wordpress dev and would apprecita any suggestions in how to catch this probably and if any other ways would solve this.
Thanks

wc_get_product is returning false, likely because the ID you are passing in is invalid. To avoid the error, you should add an additional check before fetching the description:

function display_product_description( $atts ) {
	$atts = shortcode_atts( array(
		'id' => get_the_id(),
	), $atts, 'product_description' );

	global $product;

	if ( ! is_a( $product, 'WC_Product' ) ) {
		$product = wc_get_product( $atts['id'] );
	}

	if ( ! is_a( $product, 'WC_Product' ) ) {
		return '';
	}

	return $product->get_description();
}
