What?

Follow-up #67136
Closes #69948

Why?

Fixes PHP warning error when the Author and Author Name block have no context.

See #69948

How?

Checks for the existence of a context. If it doesn't, it continues with further processing. That is, if the block isn't relevant for a particular post type, it will be rendered.

However, the User REST API doesn't allow listing users if they have no posts written yet. As a follow-up, we may also need to add a check for the number of posts a user has written, in accordance with the REST API specification, in both blocks.

Testing Instructions

  • Add a new user with the "Editor" role (This user has no posts).
  • Add an Author Archives template:
<main class="wp-block-group">
<!-- wp:query-title {"type":"archive"} /-->
<!-- wp:post-author /-->
<!-- wp:post-author-name /-->
</main>
<!-- /wp:group -->
  • Access http://localhost:8888/?author=2 (Change the author param value to the actual user id for the newly added user)
  • Confirm that two blocks are rendered correctly and no PHP warning logs are displayed.

That condition has its problems and might change in the future. See: #69921
