 I'm happily upgrading many of my WordPress installations to PHP 8.0.0 just
 to see what breaks.

 Here is one 'warning' that I caught today on one of my websites:

 {{{
 PHP Warning:  Undefined property: stdClass::$post_status in <WP_PATH>/wp-
 admin/includes/misc.php on line 1433
 }}}

 The fix is trivial, instead of

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 if ( 'draft' === $page->post_status && 'privacy' ===
 get_current_screen()->id ) {
 }}}

 just use

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 if ( !empty($page->post_status) && 'draft' === $page->post_status &&
 'privacy' === get_current_screen()->id ) {
 }}}

 ... or, alternatively, use [[https://www.php.net/manual/en/function
 .property-exists|property_exists()]], `isset()`, etc.

 It's a very trivial change to avoid a warning; possibly it's present under
 PHP 7.4 as well.
