DHL WooCommerce plugins

Around 2020-2023, there were two DHL plugins for WooCommerce. One ok and one not. This is quite confusing. Plus some more stuff.

Inventory of DHL plugins

• There are two DHL plugins. One good and one wrong. And it's confusing which is which
• Context: This is concerning a customer that is located in The Netherlands.

The source of a lot of confusion: I understand that something is wrong - But it doesn't state the name of the exact plugin that is the problem (spoiler alert: It's dhl-for-woocommerce

dhl-for-woocommerce - The wrong plugin

• I call this plugin dhl-for-woocommerce as this is the name of the plugin folder on a site
• AKA DHL Shipping Germany for WooCommerce
• WP-CLI: dhl-for-woocommerce

And this is what makes this the wrong plugin (within the given context): Shipping from Benelux, using the DHL Parcel for WooCommerce service, is not supported anymore. The plugin is still fine, but useless

This plugin, at wp_admin » Plugins

How to remove:

wp plugin deactivate dhl-for-woocommerce
wp plugin uninstall dhl-for-woocommerce

dhlpwc - The correct plugin

• I call this plugin dhlpwc, from the title of the plugin directory
• Aka DHL for WooCommerce
• WP-CLI: dhlpwc

Both plugins installed on one site. dhlpwc is on top

Output wp plugin list. dhlpwc is on top

dhlpwc - Installation

wp plugin install dhl-for-woocommerce

Casus: dhlpwc - Compatiability issue PHP 8? (2021.08)

dhlpwc doesn't seem to be compatible with PHP 8. Error from 2021.09.22:

Uncaught Error: Class "DHLPWC_Controller_Isolated_Load_Switcher" not found in dhlpwoocommerce.php

Now in 2023.10, this doesn't seem to be an issue anymore.

Inventory

• Plugin home page: Qua compatibiliteit met PHP staat er enkel vermeld: PHP Version: 5.6 or higher
• [1]: In mei 2021 is hier een bugmelding van gemaakt. Deze bug lijkt niet te zijn gesloten

Remove plugin because of PHP error

Site geïnstalleerd op een PHP8-server en nu doet-ie 't niet meer? wp-cli werkt dan ook niet meer. Wat wel werkt:

rm -rf wp-content/plugins/dhl-for-woocommerce/
