Hi guys,
I have installed page Builder and the Widgets Bundle plugins on a new website and Bulletproof Security Pro is showing the following PHP errors:

They all look like coding errors to me. Any SO expert coders here who can tell me what is happening and how to fix the problems?

Hi Terry,
Based on the error message (and the location), it looks like the SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle Posts form field is being checked when no data is present. Do you happen to know the context of when thee errors occurred? I ask as I can’t seem to find reference to these issues in any of my test site logs and I can’t force the error to occur.
Hi Alex,
The Widget Bundle was activated but not configured or used, so that may be causing the problem? Maybe the code is not checking for valid entries before running?
Interestingly there haven’t been any more PHP errors for the last two days, and in that time I still haven’t used any of the widgets but I have updated a few posts. That would indicate that the widget is checking for posts even when it isn’t being used?

Hi Terry,
I just tried replicating this issue on a fresh WordPress install and couldn’t. Not too sure what’s happening here but this check should only happen when the post/page itself is saving. I just double checked the code and I can confirm this is the case. I’m really not too sure what’s going on here mate – sorry.
