Comment:

 @collieit Thank you for reporting this. I presume you are talking about
 "passing null to non-nullable" notices ?

 While I appreciate your suggestion for adding more defensive coding, these
 issues should really be fixed in the plugins making the incorrect function
 call, which passes the `null`, while the WP functions, as documented,
 expect a non-`null` value.

 If more defensive coding would be added in the WP Core functions, it
 should be accompanied by a `_doing_it_wrong()`, which means we'd be
 effectively replacing an informative deprecation notice, with another
 notice, where the second notice has a higher error level.

 Please make sure you are using the latest versions of the involved plugins
 and if the notices are still there, please report them to the plugin
 authors.
