John Beales

This morning I tried to add a widget to footer of johnbeales.com so I can add the required rel=“me” but I got an “Invalid argument supplied for foreach()" warning in 's REST widget controller. I can't have warnings!

wp_get_sidebars_widgets() is returning an array of sidebars with null as the list of widgets instead of empty arrays. I thought I might have to open a ticket against core, but my clean WordPress install is returning empty arrays, so either something on johnbeales.com is messing with the wp_get_sidebars_widgets() return values, or I have a bad value stored in the database. Time for some more investigation!

Sometimes feels like one step forward & two steps back, but in the end I'll end up with a better site and deeper knowledge of WordPress internals.
