 * 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

 * It’s definitely not some other plugin’s issue. I wasn’t running any other plugins
   and the error occurred.
 * On a project this large it’s sometimes hard/impossible to see all the issues.
   And it could relate to how their personal testing machine is setup.
 * With that said, I don’t see any tests in the files, maybe they just don’t publish
   them with the plugin, but if they’re not using them, it might be a good idea 
   to start incorporating them so there aren’t so many unknown side effects.

 * Confirmed….I’m having the exact same problem updated wp to 4.0 and updated wp
   seo to 1.6 and boom the same php errors everyone else is having above….deactivation
   solves it and yes I’m sure hacking the plugin will solve it…but that will get
   overwritten on the next update…which may be fine..as the next update, I would
   imagine will have this fixed? maybe?
 * has anyone heard from Yoast on this? I’m sure they are aware…..a lot of people
   are having this…..

 * Update…..if you’ve read Yoast’s sticky post on the top of this support forum 
   he recommends using the latest version of the plugin from Github:
 * [https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo](https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo)
 * I did this and I can now save posts without getting the PHP errors…so in fact
   it’s fixed over on Github and the errors are cleared in the gitgub version of
   1.6.
 * I don’t know how the version here on the WordPress.org site gets updated but 
   it seems that updating this plugin from your backend of WordPress…will get a 
   different set of files that do not include the fix.
 * I found this commit in the github repo:
 * [https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/commit/e5c05d0b9e7088e47b8054cf9ea12f8f86a210fb](https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/commit/e5c05d0b9e7088e47b8054cf9ea12f8f86a210fb)
 * JTWEBB – your commenting out line 451 is THE fix….Yoast deleted that line of 
   code in the above commit.

 * The github download does not have this line in that file which was causing the
   issue
 *     ```
       /* Adjust the authorship 'default for post type' text string based on the post type */
       					$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' ) ) );
       ```
   
 * so commenting out the line 451 by adding two forward slashes in your plugins 
   folder in that file also solves the issue
 * wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/inc/class-wpseo-meta.php
 *     ```
       //$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' ) ) );
       ```

 * So we download and install the plugin from Github. Not here?

 * Or you just comment out line 451 in this file
 * wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/inc/class-wpseo-meta.php
 * on your current installed plugin.

 * Confirmed having the same problem on WP 4.0. I’ve commented out line 451 and 
   won’t update the plugin until a fix is confirmed.
