[Plugin: Custom Permalinks] PHP Error Undefined variable 'path'

I ran into this issue today. It looks like the issue is with the output of the parse_URL path.

Here’s the modified code I used to fix the errors:

Lines 96 & 97 become:

$url = parse_url(get_bloginfo('wpurl'), PHP_URL_PATH);
$request = ltrim(substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], strlen($url)),'/');

Lines 154 & 155:

$url = parse_url(get_bloginfo('url'), PHP_URL_PATH);
$request = ltrim(substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], strlen($url)),'/');

Lines 260 & 261:

$url = parse_url(get_bloginfo('url'), PHP_URL_PATH);
$request = ltrim(substr($string, strlen($url)),'/');

Line 266:
return ($string{0} == '/' ? '/' : '') . trailingslashit($url) . $_CPRegisteredURL;

The changes are just in syntax, parsing just the path with PHP_URL_PATH rather than parsing the whole path, and calling $url[‘path’], which wasn’t getting defined.

Yep, those “undefined index” messages are annoying when debugging is turned on BUT I would like to point out that this one needs more urgent attention:

Notice: has_cap was called with an argument that is deprecated since version 2.0! Usage of user levels by plugins and themes is deprecated. Use roles and capabilities instead.
