Setting an empty post_status in wp_edit_posts_query() breaks WooCommerce list tables

[pento]

[44185] sets the post_status to an empty string, rather than leaving it unset.

WooCommerce checks this query var using isset() rather than empty() on the Orders screen, which results in no orders showing in that list table.

​WooCommerce reference.

Here's a workaround:

function fix_request_query_args_for_woocommerce( $query_args ) {
        if ( isset( $query_args['post_status'] ) && empty( $query_args['post_status'] ) ) {
                unset( $query_args['post_status'] );
        }
        return $query_args;
}
add_filter( 'request', 'fix_request_query_args_for_woocommerce', 1, 1 );

Again, I think these empty strings should be replaced with null, which will work as expected with isset

Hi,

Per today's bug scrub, let's address this ticket in the next major, 5.1, scheduled in February.

WooCommerce released a fix, and I haven't heard any other reports of issues, so I'm going to close this issue.
