“Missing Argument” message

Hey guys!

I love your theme! I just had a quick concern based on an error message I sometimes receive at the top of different plugin pages. The error message is this:

“”Missing argument 2 for SiteOrigin_Settings_Page_Settings::add_meta_box() in /home/changebe/public_html/wp-content/themes/siteorigin-north/inc/settings/inc/page_settings.php on line 169″”

I don’t know what spurred the message or if it is even important, because it doesn’t seem to impact how my site runs, but I just wanted to run it by you to see if you guys have seen this before.

Thanks,

Daniel

    Hi Daniel,

    This error won’t impede your website but we would still like to fix it. :(

    Could you list what plugin pages it’s visible on? For example:

    Example plugin name, on the slider design settings page.

    This will really help us in tracking down the cause for this issue.

    Hi Alex. I would continue that thread as i’m having the same problem. It’s inside Maintenance plugin. Same argument, same line. Just i’m on Vantage.

      Hi Vytenis,

      Thanks. We’re aware of this issue and know the cause and it’ll be fixed in a future update. In the meantime we recommend that you disable WP_DEBUG.

        Hi. It is already set to define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, false ); but i still see that line. If that does not make any influence to my site (does it), then there are no problems for me.

          Hi Vytenis,

          That’s odd – that error message definitely shouldn’t be shown when WP_DEBUG is set to false. To clarify, did you add it or did you adjust the existing WP_DEBUG?

          Regardless, this issue should never appear on the frontend and will only appear in very rare instances where a plugin doesn’t handle something related to posts correctly. It’s safe to ignore. Disabling WP_DEBUG just hides the error – WP_DEBUG should always be disabled on a production site anyway.
