# Warning about 'default object from empty'

 * Works fine if I’m logged in. But the first-time visitor to my restricted page
   receives a PHP warning on my development web server:
    Warning: Creating default
   object from empty value in D:\htdocs\sdbuildingtrades\wp-content\plugins\pagerestrict\
   pagerestrict.php on line 76
 * Where pagerestrict.php line 76 contains “$post->comment_status = ‘closed’;”
 * The warning appeared after moving the website to a new server, in effect upgrading
   several components at once: Apache 2.2.22 -> 2.4.4, MySQL 5.5.24 -> 5.6.12, PHP
   5.3.13 -> 5.4.12, WordPress 3.1.2 -> 3.5.2. I know this hardly pins anything 
   down, sorry.
 * Thanks in advance for any tips about work-arounds.

 * I got the same error
    Warning: Creating default object from empty value in C:\
   xampp\htdocs\site\wp-content\plugins\pagerestrict\pagerestrict.php on line 76
   Does anyone have solution?

 * Your web host probably upgraded to PHP 5.4. I had this crop up on my server when
   I upgraded this week. My understanding is that this error message really doesn’t
   DO anything other than annoy you, so its safe to turn off the display of it.
 * In wp-config.php, put this line:
 * `ini_set( 'display_errors', 0 );`
 * I put it near the top, under:
 * >  * [@package](https://wordpress.org/support/users/package/) WordPress
   >  */
