Title: class-wp-xmlrpc-server.php – array_unshift() expects parameter 1 to be array Last modified: September 13, 2016 --- # class-wp-xmlrpc-server.php – array_unshift() expects parameter 1 to be array * [MarkRH](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markrh/) * (@markrh) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/class-wp-xmlrpc-server-php-array_unshift-expects-parameter-1-to-be-array/) * Complete warning is: * [12-Sep-2016 19:34:53 America/Chicago] PHP Warning: array_unshift() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /(path)/wp-includes/class-wp-xmlrpc-server.php on line 596 * I have never seen this warning until version 4.6.1. * This is where it happens in the code: * ``` public function wp_getUsersBlogs( $args ) { // If this isn't on WPMU then just use blogger_getUsersBlogs if ( !is_multisite() ) { array_unshift( $args, 1 ); return $this->blogger_getUsersBlogs( $args ); } ``` * Any ideas on what might be causing it? * I suspect normal use of the blog doesn’t cause it, but probably some bot trying to do something hinky. I’ve only seen it a couple times. - This topic was modified 9 years, 8 months ago by [MarkRH](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markrh/).

For example: – Did you update WP? Yes? Was it auto update or manual update? Also, updated from what version? – Did you install/update plugins? – Did you install/update theme? – What theme are you using currently? Where did you download it from? – Are ALL your plugins and the current theme up to date? – Have you moved your site to new server, new domain, or new directory – Did your site work without any issue before (No hacking, no error, etc.)? – Have you checked your server error logs for any clue or any specific error? – [http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Include_as_Much_Information_as_Possible](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Include_as_Much_Information_as_Possible) * Thread Starter [MarkRH](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markrh/) * (@markrh) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/class-wp-xmlrpc-server-php-array_unshift-expects-parameter-1-to-be-array/#post-8176242) * I updated manually from version 4.6 to 4.6.1. Jetpack also updated around the same time to v4.3.1. Using Twenty Twelve child theme which has not been updated since version 4.5 of WordPress but it is the current version. * I’ll probably go edit that code and add some logging to find out what specific URL requests are causing it so I can duplicate it at will. * [kirai](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kirai/) * (@kirai) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/class-wp-xmlrpc-server-php-array_unshift-expects-parameter-1-to-be-array/#post-8245650) * I also have a very similar warning on my site error.log .
