Comment:
The issue is that when exporting posts filtered by a specific category,
the $cats array is only populated with the categories relevant to the
export — not all categories. If a category has a parent that isn't in
$cats, accessing $cats[ $c->parent ] triggers an undefined index error.
The fix adds an isset() guard before accessing the parent in the $cats
array. I've also applied the same fix to the wp:term_parent line which has
the identical problem with the $terms array when exporting filtered custom
taxonomy terms.
Attaching patch: 64556.diff
