Symptoms

Task related to APS-application WordPress fails in OA Task Manager with errors similar to following:

PHP Notice: Undefined index: REQUEST_METHOD in /usr/local/pem/vhosts/172325/webspace/siteapps/WordPress-5621/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/ip-geo-block/classes/class-ip-geo-block.php on line 108

Cause

Option WP_DEBUG is enabled in wp-config.php:

[root@linweb01 ~]# egrep 'define.*(WP_DEBUG)' /usr/local/pem/vhosts/172325/webspace/siteapps/WordPress-5621/htdocs/wp-config.php
define('WP_DEBUG', true);

In this case WordPress generates notices that are visible in output of APS-scripts. It causes failure of OA tasks.

Note: WordPress overrides value of setting error_reporting in php.ini

Resolution

Change value of setting WP_DEBUG from true to false in wp-config.php
Restart failed task
