#31199 accepted defect (bug)

Potential reference to unset variable in get_bulk_actions (WP_Posts_List_Table)

Description

get_post_type_object can return null in some cases, which causes a notice when current_user_can is called later in the function.

Attached a patch to check if delete_posts is set, and to only add actions if it is. Thanks!

Hi sgrant

Could you please provide a the way you have triggered this bug, so that I can reproduce it ?

And I think you made a mistake in your patch : $post_type_obj->delete_posts will never exist, its $post_type_obj->cap->delete_posts that has to be checked.
