get_the_excerpt() getting called with null instead of post ID

[morganestes]

When a search results page gets loaded with title and excerpt for each of the results, the debugger throws an error about a deprecated argument. This is caused by Thing::getDescription() passing false as the $post_id, which triggers a call to _deprecated_argument() inside get_the_excerpt(). I'm not sure what part is actually generating the post ID for the arg, but I've included the call stack here to see if someone else can help identify where it's happening.

Best I can tell, it all starts with append_to_footer(), which tries get_the_ID() but that fails and returns false. This just keeps getting passed down the line; even future calls to check it fail because they're using get_the_ID() which has already decided there isn't one to give.

( ! ) Notice: get_the_excerpt was called with an argument that is <strong>deprecated</strong> since version 2.3.0 with no alternative available. in /app/public/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4026
