Undefined offset: 0 in capabilities.php when submitting a post

    I am having a problem on one of my sites. When I try to submit a post (new or editing) I get the following notice, the post is submitted and I see the new content.

    Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in /home/u09xstr/public_html/wptemp/wp-includes/capabilities.php on line 1116

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/u09xstr/public_html/wptemp/wp-includes/capabilities.php:1116) in /home/u09xstr/public_html/wptemp/wp-admin/post.php on line 233

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/u09xstr/public_html/wptemp/wp-includes/capabilities.php:1116) in /home/u09xstr/public_html/wptemp/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1179

    I have tried updating to wordpress 4.0.1, I have upgraded all of my plugings and also tried deactivating all plugings and I still see this notice. I am using a child theme of the Hemingway theme. I see the notice when either the child theme of the parent them is active. To make things more confusing I have tried the Hemingway theme on another of my sites and I don’t see the problem at all.

    I have tried searching for answers with no success. Can anyone make any suggestiongs of how I can fix this? Or explain what I can do to try and diagnose the problem.

    Thanks in advance

    Is Hemmingway up-to-date? (v 1.47)

    This error relates to the user profile. Try making a new user for yourself, does the same thing happen?

    Hi lorro,

    Yes the hemingway theme is up-to-date. I have also tried removing the theme and uploading it again without success. The interesting thing is if I switch to another theme (i.e. the WP default) everything works.

    As you suggested I tried adding a new user and I still see the error. Why do think it might be to do with the user profile?

    I had a look at capabilities.php and it is referring to a line in the map_meta_cap funciton. I am guessing that it is trying to access the first element but the array is empty.

    I thought it could be to do with users because the error line is in a function which takes the user_id parameter, and seems to be about what users can do or not.

    I’m out of trouble-shooting suggestions, so my next one would be a rebuild in a sub-directory, using a new database and fresh downloads of everything. Export & import the content. When its working point the url at the sub-directory. Sounds like a lot of work but probably less than you have put in already.

    Hopefully someone else can suggest something more focused.
