Attempt to read property “post_title” on null

    I have a contact form embedded in pages and a custom post type with this shortcode:

    [dynamichidden page-tittle "CF7_get_post_var key='title'"]

    And I’m seeing this warning in my error_log file:

    PHP Warning: Attempt to read property "post_title" on null in [ROOT]/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension/contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension.php on line 330

    Lines 329 and 330 are:

    global $post;
$val = $post->$key;

    It seems unreasonable that the $post global is null in any of these situations.

    Any ideas why this happens? It seems to have started when I switched to PHP 8.0.

    Either way, the plugin should not reference an object’s property without first checking the the object isn’t null.
