Many thanks

I had a 5 year old page that was on wordpress 3.* when I remember correctly, I updated to wordpress 5.1 locally and it seemed like everything was fine, but now I have the following problem:

when creating a new post or page I got a white page with the Warning “Creating default object from empty value in …..includes/post.php on line 708”.
So I commented out the code parts that were responsible for this $post->post_content = (string) apply_filters( ‘default_content’, $post_content, $post );
$post->post_title = (string) apply_filters( ‘default_title’, $post_title, $post );
and
$post->post_excerpt = (string) apply_filters( ‘default_excerpt’, $post_excerpt, $post );

Now I am able to create a new page, but when I try to save it, I get the message: Unfortunately, you are not allowed to edit this post.

But I am able to edit pages and posts and save those changes. I am logged in as admin.

What I tried:

Deactivating all plugins, using another theme, reinstalling wordpress 5.1, reinstalling core files, using healthcheck and activate the debug mode.

I am using php 7.2

Healtchcheck and debug mode only warned about minor issues like not using https, Transients etc.

Thank you for your help, it seems like there is no solution to this problem.

I am baffled as to what could have caused this, as I just added another property a couple of days ago and there was no issue.

In addition to the error message, my publish button has been replaced with a “submit for review.” button.

I’ve tried;
– Deactivating all plugins
– Deleting all plugins
– Installing Health Check (though it’s almost like it won’t show me new changes to the site, including new plugins added)
– I even pulled the post.php file to see if I could see something obviously wrong with the line in question… though I’m not a programmer at all so it was fairly Greek to me. lines 642 – 652 are included below though:

$post->post_content = apply_filters( ‘default_content’, $post_content, $post );

/**
* Filters the default post title initially used in the “Write Post” form.
*
* @since 1.5.0
*
* @param string $post_title Default post title.
* @param WP_Post $post Post object.
*/
$post->post_title = apply_filters( ‘default_title’, $post_title, $post );

None of the above things have worked at all and I’m starting to panic a little bit. Has anyone experienced a resolution on this? I’ve found a few threads on various websites, but it didn’t sound like they got resolved.

THANK YOU for any help you can provide!

I installed the Make theme yesterday and I started to get this error message (for multiple items):

Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /home/desijagg/public_html/wp-content/themes/make/inc/customizer/mods/site-title-tagline.php on line 65

I don’t know anything about code. Is there a way to fix this without coding? Alternatively, is there a simple document explaining what to do for non-developers?

Thanks a lot

I’m seeing the following warning instead of the widget on the left hand side of my screen:

Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /home/gate90/public_html/wp-content/plugins/birthdays-widget/birthdays-widget-ajax-callback.php on line 52

Can you please either tell me how to fix this problem, or if this is a bug, please fix it. I really need this plugin to work for my new social marketplace website, Gate 90.

Thank you,

Not sure what this is about. so far the only issues I have detected are with my child theme, everything runs fine except the navigation panel, present on the customizing screen, disappears on the live site.

Thanks in advance.

Here are the errors:

1. Creating default object from empty value in public_html/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/attach_to_post/package.module.attach_to_post.php on line 668

2. I am not able to select the display type when trying to insert gallery on a page.

Thank you for any and all assistance.

When I use the widget in my sidebar, I get this error on the profile page:

Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /home/aupaifhi/public_html/dev/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-theme-compatibility.php on line 880

When I remove the Bowe Codes widget from the sidebar the warning message disappears. I applied all the new changes from the trunk you mentioned earlier, but none of them seem to have helped.

i applied the changes to:

admin-functions.php
admin.php
shortcodes.php
widget.php

Hope you can help! Love this plugin – perfect for what I need to have happen

Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /home/bodemuro/bobbydemuro.com/wp-content/themes/InStyle/epanel/custom_functions.php on line 676

I found line 676 in my epanel/custom_functions.php and it is:

'body' => $send_to_api,

For more context, lines 675-677 in my epanel/custom_functions.php are here:

'timeout' => ( ( defined('DOING_CRON') && DOING_CRON ) ? 30 : 3),
		'body'			=> $send_to_api,
		'user-agent'	=> 'WordPress/' . $wp_version . '; ' . home_url()

I’m not sure how to change that empty value, or do whatever I need to do, to get my site working again? I’m not even sure if that’s the correct line to be looking at – hopefully I’m at least looking at the right line. I have a feeling it’s a simple fix, but at present, it’s beyond me!

Right now, I can’t edit anything on my site, I can’t add pages, I can’t do anything. It hasn’t taken my site down; it’s still operational, though it’s made it impossible to add anything to the site.

I’ve looked at other forum posts on here with the similar “Warning: Creating default object from empty value…” issue and each problem seems to have a unique solution to that particular site. I don’t have an events manager on my site, which I’ve seen mentioned in a few of the forum posts from several years back.

Any fixes? Thank you all in advance!

Warning: Creating default object from empty value in …blah…/wp-admin/includes/post.php on line 567

I’ve already tried the following (thank you for everyone who has suggested these; I’ve tried them multiple times)

No plugins enabled
Theme 2012
Reinstall WP core files
Re-upload WP core files
Rename plugin folder
georgestephanis/object-cache-flusher-button

Version of PHP is the same (5.4.34) on all my sites, only one site has a problem.

Other clues:

Also cannot make a new page or upload media (it uploads but stops at crunching)

On new post, there is no save button, only submit for review

Line 567 of /wp-admin/includes/post.php is:
$post->post_content = apply_filters( ‘default_content’, $post_content, $post );

Another clue: I disabled all plugins to troubleshoot. When re-enabling jetpack it won’t reconnect to wordpress.com (again this problem with only one of my many sites) saying missing_secrets

My only hunch is something corrupted in the database but I don’t know if that is consistent with what line 567 is trying to do.
