The filter is this one: https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/hooks/the_posts/
It is used by get_posts(): https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/classes/wp_query/get_posts/.

So to start, if you have Query Monitor active, navigate to a page where you see the warning happening (bar will turn orange). Query Monitor will tell you also what template is loaded. Search that for get_posts.

It also could be code messing with global $posts variable, if that’s happening all bets are off.

The fix depends on how it’s being used, I see you’re using a commercial theme so perhaps you’re able to get support. https://www.gabfirethemes.com/themes/advanced-wordpress-newspaper-theme/

Apart from the warning, there are no side effects.

Hi John,
I’ve pushed a new version 1.1.5 where it’s being extra checks around this issue, and the PHP warning will no longer show.

I’ll mark the support issue as resolved.

This part of the plugins accepts a list of posts (an array of retrieved posts after they’ve been fetched and internally processed.). If you’re seeing a warning that iterating on that is not possible then I suspect there’s an logic error on the theme, as an empty list should be returned.

Here’s the source https://github.com/svandragt/hide-trackbacks/blob/1.1.4/hide-trackbacks.php#L112

If you’d like me to give more details could you please provide the following:

– Can you reproduce it with one of the default themes, to rule out the theme?
– could you post a link to one of the pages where this warning is happening so I can inspect the html and derive context from it.
– do you know the php version you are using, this can be found on the site health screen.

Hope we can get this sorted.

Thanks, Sander

Hi aecnews, thanks for using the plug-in. I’ll have a look at the warnings you’ve reported and issue an update.

The plug-in is small and usually ticking along merrily between WordPress updates, so there’s not been a need to update it.

But it looks like now there is, I’ll report back with my findings.

Hey tsgolden,

Yes I don’t see it on https://devpve.wpengine.com/robots.txt either.

Here’s what to try:

1) If you’re using other SEO / sitemap plugins they might have disabled the built in sitemaps, so check that first, in case they have competing functionality.
2) Next thing to check: Under Settings > Reading, “Search engine visibility – Discourage search engines from indexing this site” must be UNTICKED. If search engines can’t index your site, there is no need for sitemaps.
3) Next thing to check is go to the permalinks page and press save to flush the rewrite rules. This should already have happened as part of the WP 5.5 upgrade, but it’s harmless to retry this and has fixed similar issues.

Best of luck!

Hi folks, sorry for the delay in fixing this. I’m releasing version 1.1.3 today that addresses this issue.

Hi Matt. Thanks for the report. Yes I still support the plugin. I’ll get an update out to address the issue and update this topic.

Hi Danny, I did a search for the function in my codebase (it was an issue with another plugin that did actively call it). Good to hear it sounds like it’s a non issue for this plugin!

Thanks Alex, I apologise for coming across furious and thank you for you reply. I will amend my review.

Sorry I am user 1 it was the ordering of the users in WordPress that confused me.

Added to the gallery link (new link below). I just noticed that I am not user 1 (I am 16) but it is a single author blog with one administrator and I verified the default author is set to the user I am wanting to login with (svandragt).
