strlen() expects parameter 1 to be string

    Hi,

    awesome plugin, thanks. Was trying to do something similar, but my PHP skills are kinda too non-existent to pull this off right now.

    Anyway, I’m trying to add something like what you see in the admin bar of this page. “Hi, {first_name} {avatar}”. It works, except I get a warning every time the {avatar} shortcode is used:

    Warning: strlen() expects parameter 1 to be string, object given in /home/***/public_html/wp-includes/formatting.php on line 2875

    When I use {first_name} on its own, no problems.

    I’ve tried it with a commercial theme, and WP’s 2017 theme – both the same result. Any ideas on how to fix would be much appreciated.

    @esquecreative – That honestly sounds like something is filtering get_avatar and returning an Object rather than a string. We use get_avatar to render them which is a built in WP function and returns a string. If an object is what is returned it definitely points to another plugin interfering. Can you try disabling other plugins, specifically those that would possibly deal with avatars or custom code.

    @danieliser – Thanks for the speedy reply. Yes, seems like it might be the USERPRO plugin. Thanks for your assistance – much appreciated.
