Undefined offset in custom content type capability

    In a plugin, I’ve created a custom content type with capabilities that are designed to be used just for that content type. Everything seems to work fine, but for some reason, I get the following notice error:

    Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in ../wp-includes/capabilities.php on line 1119

    Looking at that line in the code, it looks like perhaps $args is empty. Anyone know why that might be?

    When I save the post, I’m checking editing capability by using “edit_mytype”, rather than “edit_post,” because I wanted to check to ensure that the user has the rights to edit this particular type.

    I’ll be glad to provide any code that might be helpful.

    Ok, looks like WordPress doesn’t like post types that are mass nouns rather than count nouns. I had capabilities for which the singular and plural were the same. Thus, the capability type was an array (‘mytype’,’mytype’). I changed it so that it actually has an “s” plural in the capabilities, and it works. It makes my inner grammarian squirm, but it works.
