As generally do, probably a plugin is causing this error, so lets find out which plugin is causing this error. You need to inactivate all your plugins one by one and then activate again all the plugins one by one to find out which one is the problematic one.

Okay let’s say you found out which plugin is it. If you think it is not a necessary plugin, until they fix the issue, you can inactivate that plugin and bam error is gone. So, you can keep continue to use, post and update your website.

But if the plugin is the major one, especially the one related to theme, you can’t just inactivate unless decide to use another theme, right? And your theme owner company is too busy to answer your questions about the fixing issue, host company is not helping either, and telling you that “go talk to your developer”. This may be one of those very frustrating issue.

How to Hide Error / Warning: Creating Default Object From Empty Value

1- On your .php folders find, wp-config.pgp (directly under your domain folder): Look at below code, this may not work with this error, but you can use to hide this for some other type of WordPress errors too.

define('WP_DEBUG', false);

2- Add below code to your .PHP file that sending the warning, just before the IF statement, somewhere beginning of the page and update the page.

3- This should stop the error too. Add it to your active themes functions.php (wp-content/themes/your theme/functions.php):

/* Stop errors if any /error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_PARSE);/ End stop Errors */

4- The following 2 lines should be added to to your .PHP file sending the warning just before the IF statement.

$query_context = new stdClass();
$query_context->context = array();

/* suppress error with this */
ini_set('display_errors', 0);

$query_context = new stdClass();
