Updating isset( $var ) ? $var : null to the null coalescing operator ($var ?? null) definitely makes the code cleaner and more modern, especially now that WordPress supports PHP 7.2.24 and above.

Looks good! But, is this PR contains all isset() from the whole the WordPress code? Have to check this. |
When reviewing the source code, I noticed some ternary expressions of the form
isset( $var ) ? $var : null
.Since PHP 7.0 introduced the null coalescing operator, and WordPress now requires at least PHP 7.2.24, we can safely replace these ternaries with the more concise
$var ?? null
syntax.To ensure the changeset is correct, I'd prefer break the changes to bulk of files instead of fixing entire project in one PR.
I've changed manually with the help with IDE, and verify that the meaning of code is exactly the same.
