Undefined Index: caption_id

[Soben]

Discovered this randomly on a local project.

Notice: Undefined index: caption_id in /var/www/html/wp-includes/media.php on line 1572

Discovered with PHP 7.2.10 and WordPress 5.0.1

It's just a warning but one nonetheless.

Attached will be the patch.

@Soben: Do you have more information about how to reproduce this? $atts['caption_id'] should at least be set to an empty string by shortcode_atts().

I'm not understanding how a PHP Notice is generated for a missing 'caption_id' key within the $atts. By default, that key gets set with a default value through shortcode_atts(). If the key exists in the incoming $attr, then the incoming value is retained. But in both cases, the key is set.

I'm also not able to reproduce the issue. Without more information such as step-by-step instructions, currently the ticket is not actionable.

Given it's been 5 years with no follow-up, I'll assume the issue was resolved. Closing the ticket.

Hello @Soben,

Does this issue still happen for you today?

• If no, woohoo!
• If yes, please reopen this ticket and provide instructions on how to reproduce. This helps contributors diagnose. Thanks.

If it's an example as to if this ticket is still an issue: I have forgotten about this, and I don't know how I missed the other responses (which annoys me)

I have not encountered this issue in a while, so I do agree with your assessment that maybe it has been resolved.

Thank you @Soben for confirming it's resolved. Appreciate you circling back :)
