      1. Find a block that declares has_config() as true and has its own settings.php file - such as block_html
      2. Add a line to the settings.php file of that block that sets the variable $setting to null - typically at the end of the file.
      3. Make sure the development debugging is on and debug messages are displayed.
      4. Visit Site administration > Plugins > Blocks > Manage blocks and make sure you do not see the reported debugging warning.

      According to line 99 of lib/classes/plugininfo/block.php, settings.php pages are allowed to set $settings = null;. However, if this is done, a debugging message appears from from admin/blocks.php (from line 158.

      That debugging message was added because of: https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-47979

      Please enable re-enable $settings = null; in a block's settings.php.

      The reason for needing to set $settings = null; to allow a (block) plugin to contribute non-default settings pages (ie, by creating new admin_settingpage instances and adding them elsewhere in the settings tree), without automatically adding a settings tree link to its default settings page.
