Help:

I’m in the process of importing users from Ning, and there are some duplicates. When I try to delete the duplicate accounts from the admin dashboard, I get the following error message:

Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /home/content/02/3920902/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/bp-groups-classes.php on line 1053

Any thoughts on what that means and how to fix it?

Thanks

I can’t help much (hopefully others will chime in here) but the error comes from this function:

function delete_all_for_user( $user_id ) {
global $wpdb, $bp;

// Get all the group ids for the current user’s groups and update counts
$group_ids = $this->get_group_ids( $user_id );
foreach ( $group_ids->groups as $group_id ) {
groups_update_groupmeta( $group_id, ‘total_member_count’, groups_get_total_member_count( $group_id ) – 1 );
}

return $wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( “DELETE FROM {$bp->groups->table_name_members} WHERE user_id = %d”, $user_id ) );
}

Anyway, it looks like $this is being used improperly.

$group_ids = $this->get_group_ids( $user_id );

It’s a php4 versus php5 issue … but … hopefully a programmer can help here.

We have a fix in the branch for this, which will be BP 1.2.5.1 very soon. Look at https://trac.buddypress.org/changeset/3113

Thanks both @LPH2005 and @Paul Gibbs.

By the way, I CAN delete the user if I go the dashboard and go down to the WPMU ‘users’ section no problem. A little bit more work, but now that I’m getting the odd spammer signing up, it’s essential.

I solved the problem with the solution shown here:
