When does get_pages() return an array of ints?

[malthert]

@return WP_Post[]|int[]|false

But afaik I always get WP_Post[]|false ? What do I need to do to get int[] ?

[audrasjb]

Indeed I can't see any way to retrieve an array of integers.

This return type mention was introduced in [49790] / #51800.

Pinging @johnbillion: any thought on this? :)

[malthert]

just to clarify: I don't actually want to get int[], I just think the @return is wrong and want it corrected.

[johnbillion]

Confirmed, this should be WP_Post[]|false. Thanks for the report.

[audrasjb]

Great, thank for the confirmation! 👌

correction of function return type

Thank you for the patch @jigar-bhanushali.

However, I have two small remarks:

• We use the good-first-bug keyword as an invitation for new people who never contributed to WordPress Core before. It's better to keep it for new contributors.
• Your patch doesn't meet WordPress Coding Standards as the indentation of the docblock needs to be updated accordingly :)
