Critical Bug Fixes
Fixed fatal error “Call to undefined function PHPMailer\PHPMailer\mail()”
caused by WooCommerce firing admin email notification during shadow order
creation on servers where PHP mail() is disabled.
Added disable_wc_emails() / enable_wc_emails() wrapper around update_status()
to fully suppress all transactional emails for shadow orders.
Fixed fatal error “Cannot redeclare class ARIKSAC_Order_Handler” caused
by incorrect file content being uploaded to class-ariksac-ajax.php.
Fixed AJAX 500 error triggered by calling update_meta_data() on
‘_customer_ip_address’ and ‘_customer_user_agent’ which fires
wc_doing_it_wrong() in WooCommerce 3.2+. Replaced with
set_customer_ip_address() and set_customer_user_agent() setters.
Fixed double backslash syntax errors on global PHP class references
(\WC_Product, \WC_Order, \WP_Error, \WC_DateTime, \WP_Term, \Throwable)
throughout class-ariksac-order-handler.php, class-ariksac-frontend.php,
and class-ariksac-ajax.php.
Button Style Bugs Fixed
Fixed button background color, hover background color, text color, hover
text color, font size, border radius, padding, icon size, and gap settings
not applying on frontend.
Root cause: single-class CSS selector lost specificity war against theme
!important rules (The7, Storefront, Astra, OceanWP). Fixed by replacing
with a high-specificity selector list covering all major themes.
