Rank Math is a revolutionary WordPress SEO Plugin that combines the features of many SEO tools and lets you multiply your traffic in the easiest way possible :bulb: :chart_with_upwards_trend: →
Describe the bug
In some instances, Rank Math is trying to get user meta data on an object that is not a user. Some plugins (like easy property listings) will allow filtering of a post type (property for example) via query strings. If this is used on the property post type archive, Rank Math attempts to get the user meta on this archive.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Install Easy Property Listings
add this search param: to your property archive: ?action=epl_search&post_type=property&property_status=current&author_name={user-nicename}
See error
Expected behavior
This function should only run on users(?). Sorry, I'm not 100% sure when it should run, but given the class naming, it should only operate on user meta, or the WP_User object.

Warning on PHP 7.4, and Fatal error on PHP 8 +
