Solution:
Try the following simplified code with some conditions checks to avoid this error problem. Also when watching for product categories in cart items always use $cart_item['product_id']
as this way it will work for product variations too.
add_filter( 'woocommerce_coupons_enabled', 'hide_coupon_field_dinner_dances' );
function hide_coupon_field_dinner_dances( $enabled ){
$cart = WC()->cart; // The WC_Cart Object
// Only on cart page
if( is_cart() && $cart && method_exists( $cart, 'get_cart' ) ) {
$category = array('discount'); // <= Here define the product categories
$enabled = false; // Only enable when this product category is in cart
// Loop through cart items
foreach ( $cart->get_cart() as $cart_item ) {
if ( has_term( $category, 'product_cat', $cart_item['product_id'] ) ) {
$enabled = true;
break;
}
}
}
return $enabled;
}
This should better works now avoiding the issue.
