The foreach loops on lines 204 and 217 just need to check if the index in question is actually set, I think. * Plugin Contributor [whiletrue](https://wordpress.org/support/users/whiletrue/) * (@whiletrue) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-errors-when-a-new-instance-is-created/#post-5568098) * Hi, I’m releasing a fix (2.5.12 release) in minutes.

Unfortunately I’m not getting these PHP notices on my test environments (even with E_ALL error_reporting active, probably we’re on different PHP releases) so I’m forced to follow your error strings. * Thread Starter [bvucp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bvucp/) * (@bvucp) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-errors-when-a-new-instance-is-created/#post-5568142) * Yep, that fixed the remaining notices.
