    Got this error when I upgraded and try to view any non-cached page on my site:

    Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /var/www/html/pk/pkmncards.com/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/frontend/class-frontend.php on line 91

    I’m going to downgrade back to the earlier version of the plugin until this is resolved. Not sure if it’s something I did wrong, but in my functions.php I have been using stuff like this:

    $og_title = WPSEO_Frontend::title( false );
$og_url = WPSEO_Frontend::canonical( false );
$og_description = WPSEO_Frontend::metadesc( false );

    I’ve been using those to make some custom og tags.

    You shouldn’t need to make custom og tags ?? my plugin does them all, but yeah those function calls are causing the error.

    Thanks for the reply Joost! I wanted to fine tune some things (namely retrieving the thumbnail image with help from Get The Image), so I decided it would be best to generate them myself. How would I go about retrieving those values now?

    Don’t know ?? I’ll leave that as an exercise to you ??

    Figured it out! ??

    Instead of:

    $og_title = WPSEO_Frontend::title( false );
$og_url = WPSEO_Frontend::canonical( false );
$og_description = WPSEO_Frontend::metadesc( false );

    Use: 

    $object = new WPSEO_Frontend();
$og_title = $object->title( false );
$og_url = $object->canonical( false );
$og_description = $object->metadesc( false );

    Thanks for the solution Adam.

    I use the WPSEO title() and metadesc() methods in some validation code I added to my theme. Instansiating the WPSEO_Frontend class as you suggested fixed the problem.
