PHP Notice: Trying to get property ‘post_type’ of non-object in {{path}}/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/src/integrations/third-party/elementor.php on line 154

This notice appear in the logs at least for the last 9 month, every time an elementor page is saved (from the elementor page editor page). Can you please provide a fix, it polluted our logs.

Please describe what you expected to happen and why.

No notice in the logs once an elementor page is saved.

How can we reproduce this behavior?

• install elementor and yoast
• create an page with elementor and some content
• save the page
• have a look in the logs

Technical info

I had a quick look at the line that is mentioned in the error log. The line uses your function “get_metabox_post” which might return null. So a check for null is necessary to make the code work. You may change the line 154 in seo/src/integrations/third-party/elementor.php from: if ( ! $this->display_metabox( $this->get_metabox_post()->post_type ) ) { to if ( empty( $this->get_metabox_post() ) || ! $this->display_metabox( $this->get_metabox_post()->post_type ) ) {

But i do not know why the function returns null in the first place.

Hi @vollyimnetz, thanks for the report. This is a known issue (internal bug report). Since this isn't reported on GH yet, I will leave this open as a public facing issue.

Running WordPress 5.9.3, WooCommerce 6.5.1, Yoast SEO 18.9 When I edit and save a block using Elementor, Yoast SEO generates an error message in debug.log:

PHP Notice: Trying to get property 'post_type' of non-object in \wp-content\plugins\wordpress-seo\src\integrations\third-party\elementor.php on line 153.

This is because the function “get_metabox_post” might return null.

You need to check it returns an object by adding this after line [152]:

    if(!is_object($this->get_metabox_post())) {
        return;
    }

When we can expect an official bug fix?

[markman77]

Is there an ETA for a fix?

Elementor 3.6.6, Pro 3.7.2 Yoast 19.2 I don't get this error on every page. Specifically where I have an elementor form on my contact page before I open the elementor editor.... Notice: Trying to get property 'display_name' of non-object in /home/weqtvfuphcuq/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/src/presenters/meta-author-presenter.php on line 40

When I open the elementor editor I get this error listed three times above the pages main container... Notice: Trying to get property 'display_name' of non-object in /home/weqtvfuphcuq/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/src/presenters/meta-author-presenter.php on line 40

anyone else using PHP 8.0?

I'm having this issue and I think it even crashes my Apache2 when trying to save changes to a page.

Restarting Apache2 gets me the site back, but the issue keeps returning (error when saving and apache2 crashes occasionally).

This error has been thrown for weeks, after multiple Yoast and Elementor and Elementor Pro plugin updates.

Annoying as this has been filling up my logs for quite some time now. Running PHP 8.0.

Still present: AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: PHP Warning: Attempt to read property "post_type" on null in {{path}}/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/src/integrations/third-party/elementor.php on line 151' WordPress 6.2.2 Yoast Seo: 20.8 Elementor: 3.13.4 Elementor Pro: 3.13.2 Imho it causes a delay in saving the changes made in Elementor as well...

Affected by this as well. Adding the full log entry, perhaps it helps.

[sequoi]

Same issue. I am quite stumped that more than a year passed and they aren't fixing it. For what is worth it is the only error message in my server logs.

WordPress 6.2.2 Yoast Seo: 20.9 Elementor: 3.14.1 PHP 8.0 (it is the same with 8.1 and 8.2)

[neoandien]

same issue here in latest Free Version 20.11

everytime yoast SEO updated, I edit elementor.php file line 151, from this:

public function register_elementor_hooks() {
		if ( ! $this->display_metabox( $this->get_metabox_post()->post_type ) )

to this:

public function register_elementor_hooks() {
	    if(!isset($this->get_metabox_post()->post_type)) return;
	    if ( ! $this->display_metabox( $this->get_metabox_post()->post_type ) )

[haydenrust]

Also getting the, " Attempt to read property "post_type" on null " error on latest seo versions

[sequoi]

Not worth the hassle for me anymore. At this point, I can not wait for them to get their sense together.

I switched to Rank Math SEO and could not be happier. Rank Math has also been imported from the Yoast feature, so everything is fine. Plus it's better to the point that I was keeping my hand in sand for a long time. You will need some time to adapt but it is much more worth it than Yoast. Of course, your mileage may vary.

This was fixed together with https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/20162 by https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/pull/20465, released in Yoast SEO 20.12
