# Debug Log Warnings

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for making such a useful plugin. We love wpDataTables.
 * This plugin seems to be initialized differently than other plugins, and that 
   results in some various benign warnings in our debug log. This assumption of 
   difference in initialization comes from this event: when I click on the details
   of an upgrade for another plugin, I’m able to see a changelog, description, and
   link to wordpress.org plugin page. For this plugin, it’s just a link to your 
   website and the version number.
 * This seems to cause some warnings, like when there’s an upgrade available for
   wpDataTables, our debug log, throughout the time, will randomly produce:
 * > [24-Oct-2025 01:31:35 UTC] PHP Warning: Undefined property: stdClass::$plugin
   > in /website/files/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-automatic-updater.php on line 
   > 228
 * This error never occurs unless an upgrade for wpDataTables is available.
 * Or, this warning occurs less, but still happens if and only if wpDataTables has
   an update available:
 * > PHP Warning: Undefined property: stdClass::$plugin in /website/files/wp-includes/
   > class-wp-list-util.php on line 168
 * When I upgraded wpDataTables to the newest version:
 * > [24-Oct-2025 12:05:58 UTC] PHP Warning: Undefined property: stdClass::$sections
   > in /website/files/wp-admin/includes/plugin-install.php on line 585
   > [24-Oct-2025 12:05:58 UTC] PHP Warning: Undefined property: stdClass::$sections
   > in /website/files/wp-admin/includes/plugin-install.php on line 600
   > [24-Oct-2025 12:05:58 UTC] PHP Warning: Undefined property: stdClass::$sections
   > in /website/files/wp-admin/includes/plugin-install.php on line 630
   > [24-Oct-2025 12:05:58 UTC] PHP Warning: Undefined property: stdClass::$sections
   > in /website/files/wp-admin/includes/plugin-install.php on line 861
 * It seems like everything is working; I received the successful update message
   and everything loads fine, it’s just interesting that this is the only plugin
   that creates these types of errors.
 * It also seems like it may be an easy fix, which is why I wanted to report this
   in the threads.
 * Thank you,

 * Hey there,
 * Apologies for the delay in getting back to you. Thank you for taking the time
   to report this in such detail — we really appreciate it.
 * From what you described, the warnings don’t seem to point to a specific line 
   of wpDataTables code directly, but we understand that they appear when wpDataTables
   updates are available, so it’s possible they’re related to how our plugin communicates
   with the WordPress update system.
 * I’ve passed your report to our developer team so they can try to reproduce this
   scenario and investigate further. To help us confirm the environment setup and
   narrow it down more efficiently, could you please copy the **System Info** from**
   wpDataTables → System Info** and share it here?
 * That information will show us details such as the PHP version, WordPress version,
   and active plugins — which can be helpful for debugging.
 * If our team confirms the behavior, they’ll aim to include a fix or improvement
   in one of the next updates.
 * Thanks again for bringing this to our attention and for your kind feedback about
   wpDataTables!
 * Kind regards,
   Milos

 * Hello again,
 * Thank you for sharing the System Info with us. I’m sending everything, along 
   with the rest of your report, to our developer team so they can review it in 
   detail. They’ll do their best to isolate the cause of this behavior, and if they’re
   able to reproduce it, they’ll include a fix in one of the upcoming updates.
 * Thanks again for taking the time to report this. We’ll let you know if they need
   any additional information from your end in the meantime.
 * Kind regards,
   Milos
