== Test Report
=== Description
With the patch, the warning does not appear when the site has no Privacy
page. It also continues to warn when the site has a Privacy page and the
Home and/or Posts page is set to the Privacy page.
Patch tested:
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/60750/60750.diff
=== Environment
- WordPress: 7.0-alpha-61215-src (as of r61492)
- PHP: 8.4.0
- Server: Apache/2.4.62 (Win64) PHP/8.4.0 mod_fcgid/2.3.10-dev
- Database: mysqli (Server: 9.1.0 / Client: mysqlnd 8.4.0)
- Browser: Firefox 147.0
- OS: Windows 11
- Theme: Twenty Seventeen 4.0
=== Actual Results
I deselected the Privacy page, as in comment:7, and chose each option in
Reading Settings. Three of the four choices gave a warning before the
patch, and none of them displayed the warning with the patch.
||= Setting =||= Before =||= With patch =||
|| Latest posts || 🐞\\ Warning || ✅\\ **No warning** ||
|| Static Homepage set to “Home” || 🐞\\ Warning || ✅\\ **No warning**
||
|| Static Posts page set to “Blog” || 🐞\\ Warning || ✅\\ **No
warning** ||
|| Static Homepage set to “Home” and Posts page set to “Blog” || ✅\\ No
warning || ✅\\ No warning ||
After I set "Privacy Policy" as the Privacy page, the Reading Settings
displayed a warning only when at least one of the static pages was set to
the Privacy page (both before and after applying the patch).
