 * Hey guys
 * Did the 1.6 update this morning. On saving a post/page, I got the following notice
   outputs:
 * Notice: Undefined index: authorship in … /wordpress-seo/inc/class-wpseo-meta.
   php on line 451
    Notice: Undefined index: authorship in … /wordpress-seo/admin/
   class-metabox.php on line 694
 * Thanks in advance,
    sprul

 * Mine is fixed after I turned off another plugin **“Use Google Libraries”** — 
   are any of you also using that one?
 * I don’t know yet why this makes a difference!
 * I had the same errors as the first poster, but on lines 451 (same) and 476 (different).
 * Edit: Or not — the WordPress SEO metabox fields appear now, but I do still see
   the two errors below it.

 * I’m also getting the same issue with the updated WordPress SEO Version 1.6 on
   WordPress 4.0.
 * If I go to add a page or any post type this message appears:
 * Notice: Undefined index: authorship in /…/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/inc/
   class-wpseo-meta.php on line 451
 * Notice: Undefined index: type in /…/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/admin/class-
   metabox.php on line 694
 * Very annoying and my client isn’t happy either.
 * Please advise.

 * I’ve seen the same notices:
    - _Undefined index: authorship in wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/inc/class-
      wpseo-meta.php on line 451_
    - _Undefined index: type in wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/admin/class-metabox.
      php on line 694_
 * Fixed turning off “**POLYLANG**” plugin, but it can’t be the solution. :\
 * [@mwrusnak](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mwrusnak/) – and I’m not using“
   Use Google Libraries”

 * All I did to fix this for the time being (until it’s fixed permanently) is comment
   out line 451 in inc/class-wpseo-meta.php.
 * This line
 * `$field_defs['authorship']['options']['-'] = sprintf( $field_defs['authorship']['
   options']['-'], ( ( isset( $options[ 'noauthorship-' . $post_type ] ) && $options['
   noauthorship-' . $post_type ] === true ) ? __( 'don\'t show', 'wordpress-seo'):
   __( 'show', 'wordpress-seo' ) ) );`

 * Albeit they (Yoast) can’t test every possible scenario.
 * rant
    However when I get an email (less than 15 min previously) advising of the
   rel=author removal and to update to 1.6, to do it and then watch as everything
   go haywire, I wish they wouldn’t be so quick to release updates…just saying. /
   rant
 * And btw, no I don’t run any of the aforementioned plugins. I use wp as a cms 
   and run 7 plugins, in total.
