Comment (by ayeshrajans):

 Hi @GwynethLlewelyn,
 Welcome to WordPress Trac, and I wish you a happy new year!

 You are right, the warning is related to PHP 8, which was previously a
 notice, and it is possible that your previous configuration options was
 not logging/showing those notices (although PHP was configured to show
 notices by default; just not strict and deprecation notices).

 Could you provide a stack trace of the warning message?
 debug_print_backtrace() output or an Xdebug output will do. Instead of
 fixing this when it is used, I think a more appropriate fix would be to
 fix it in upstream, where the post is constructed to make sure
 `post_status` is correctly populated.

 Cheers.
