• Hi,

    Our site’s error_log has several instances of:

    PHP Warning: Undefined array key "excerptLength" in /home/user/staging.example.com/wp-includes/blocks/post-excerpt.php on line 52

    Help appreciated.

  • Hi,

    This warning is usually caused by a Post Excerpt block being rendered without the expected excerptLength attribute being present.

    Could you provide some additional details?

    • What version of WordPress are you running?
    • Does the warning occur on the front end, in the editor, or both?
    • Are you using a custom theme or any plugins that modify Query Loop or Post Excerpt blocks?
    • If you switch temporarily to a default theme such as Twenty Twenty-Five, does the warning persist?

    Also, if possible, please share the full Site Health > Info > WordPress version information and the complete warning message from the log.

    That will help determine whether this is coming from WordPress core, a theme, or a plugin altering block attributes.

    Hi,

    WP version 7.0.
    Error only occurs in error_log.
