Warning appearing on Subscribers

I’ve tried with only “Media Library Folders” enabled and it still does appears, so does not seem a plugin interaction. Unfortunately I can’t rollback WordPress to 4.9, and the host of this blog does not allow to manage Apache itself.

After tinkering a bit, I’ve fixed it myself replacing the function with this one:

public function get_upload_status() {
$data = get_userdata(get_current_user_id());
// This reverses the polarity of the neutron flow…
if (!is_object($data) or !isset($data->allcaps[‘upload_files’]))
$this->current_user_can_upload = false;
else
$this->current_user_can_upload = $data->allcaps[‘upload_files’];
}

This one returns false if the upload_files cap is unlisted in the Wp_User object, as it it should be the case in case of subscribers, which only are allowed to retrieve data and modify their own profile.

Probably a proper fix should be be something like:

public function get_upload_status() {
$data = get_userdata(get_current_user_id());

// Activating the sonic screwdriver…
if (is_object($data))
$this->current_user_can_upload = $data-has_cap(‘upload_files’);
else
$this->current_user_can_upload = false;
}

Please confirm the fix is correct and does not screw up something else.
