Catchable Fatal Error in bp-core.php on line 566

    Ever since upgrading to WP 3 and BP 1.2.5, I regularly encounter the following PHP error:

    Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in /mnt/target02/350461/cardioexchange-dev.murraylabs.com/web/content/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core.php on line 566

    This error arises in two distinct situations. First, when I am using a custom user import script that calls bp_core_signup_user and the class BP_XProfile_ProfileData to either add or update existing users with profile data from a different system. In the second instance, I’ve just submitted a Gravity Forms-powered form.

    I understand that neither of these situations involves a common BuddyPress usage, but I haven’t been able to identify the cause of this problem. As the two situations are fairly distinct, my hope is that someone else has run into this error message in a situation I’ve yet to encounter.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    This is line 566:
    if ( !$domain = wp_cache_get( 'bp_user_domain_' . $user_id, 'bp' ) ) {

    It sounds like you’re using some type of caching on your site. Try turning it off to see if the error goes away.

    The function where this line resides — bp_core_get_user_domain() — only outputs a link to the user’s profile. Without knowing too much about your code, there’s not much we can do on our end.

    The site isn’t using any caching right now, which is part of why this error perplexes me so much.

    I’m beginning to suspect some caching-related things changed between WP 2.9.2 and 3.0, because I didn’t have this problem prior to upgrading.

    Okay, just re-reading this again. I don’t think you should use bp_core_signup_user().
    For your custom script, you can try using wp_insert_user() and then add in the extra profile information later.

    Or, you can try using the Import From Ning plugin, which also works with CSVs:
