Thumbnail Image Crashing

Update: on a staging site i try to replicate the problem and BOOM here it is:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function wp_get_current_user() in /home/*****/env/staging/wp-includes/capabilities.php:873 Stack trace: #0 /home/*****/env/staging/wp-includes/functions.php(3531): current_user_can(‘unfiltered_html’) #1 /home/****/env/staging/wp-includes/formatting.php(2073): get_allowed_mime_types() #2 /home/******/env/staging/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/src/Helper.php(337): sanitize_file_name(‘cropped-cropped…’) #3 /home/******/env/staging/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/src/Image.php(67): WordPressPopularPosts\Helper::is_image_url(‘https://staging…’) #4 /home/*****/env/staging/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/src/Container/WordPressPopularPostsConfiguration.php(33): WordPressPopularPosts\Image->__construct(Array) #5 /home/******/env/staging/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/src/Container/Container.php(105): WordPressPopularPosts\Container\WordPressPopularPostsConfiguration->WordPressPopularPosts\Container\{closure}(Object(WordPressPopularPosts\Container\Container)) #6 /home/*****/env/staging/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/src/Container/Container.php(89): WordPressPopularPosts\Container\Container->WordPressPopularPosts\Container\{closure}(Object(WordPressPopularPosts\Container\Container)) #7 /home/*****/env/staging/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/src/Container/WordPressPopularPostsConfiguration.php(44): WordPressPopularPosts\Container\Container->offsetGet(‘image’) #8 /home/*******/env/staging/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/src/Container/Container.php(105): WordPressPopularPosts\Container\WordPressPopularPostsConfiguration->WordPressPopularPosts\Container\{closure}(Object(WordPressPopularPosts\Container\Container)) #9 /home/********/env/staging/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/src/Container/Container.php(89): WordPressPopularPosts\Container\Container->WordPressPopularPosts\Container\{closure}(Object(WordPressPopularPosts\Container\Container)) #10 /home/*******/env/staging/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/src/Container/WordPressPopularPostsConfiguration.php(111): WordPressPopularPosts\Container\Container->offsetGet(‘output’) #11 /home/********/env/staging/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/src/Container/Container.php(105): WordPressPopularPosts\Container\WordPressPopularPostsConfiguration->WordPressPopularPosts\Container\{closure}(Object(WordPressPopularPosts\Container\Container)) #12 /home/*******/env/staging/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/src/Container/Container.php(89): WordPressPopularPosts\Container\Container->WordPressPopularPosts\Container\{closure}(Object(WordPressPopularPosts\Container\Container)) #13 /home/******/env/staging/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/src/Container/WordPressPopularPostsConfiguration.php(119): WordPressPopularPosts\Container\Container->offsetGet(‘widget_endpoint’) #14 /home/*******/env/staging/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/src/Container/Container.php(105): WordPressPopularPosts\Container\WordPressPopularPostsConfiguration->WordPressPopularPosts\Container\{closure}(Object(WordPressPopularPosts\Container\Container)) #15 /home/*******/env/staging/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/src/Container/Container.php(89): WordPressPopularPosts\Container\Container->WordPressPopularPosts\Container\{closure}(Object(WordPressPopularPosts\Container\Container)) #16 /home/******/env/staging/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/src/Container/WordPressPopularPostsConfiguration.php(144): WordPressPopularPosts\Container\Container->offsetGet(‘rest’) #17 /home/*********/env/staging/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/src/Container/Container.php(105): WordPressPopularPosts\Container\WordPressPopularPostsConfiguration->WordPressPopularPosts\Container\{closure}(Object(WordPressPopularPosts\Container\Container)) #18 /home/*********/env/staging/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/src/Container/Container.php(89): WordPressPopularPosts\Container\Container->WordPressPopularPosts\Container\{closure}(Object(WordPressPopularPosts\Container\Container)) #19 /home/******/env/staging/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/src/Bootstrap.php(18): WordPressPopularPosts\Container\Container->offsetGet(‘wpp’) #20 /home/*********/env/staging/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/wordpress-popular-posts.php(38): require(‘/home/*******/…’) #21 /home/**********/env/staging/wp-settings.php(447): include_once(‘/home/*******/…’) #22 /home/********/env/staging/wp-config.php(104): require_once(‘/home/******/…’) #23 /home/*******/env/staging/wp-load.php(50): require_once(‘/home/******/…’) #24 /home/*******/env/staging/wp-blog-header.php(13): require_once(‘/home/*******/…’) #25 /home/*******/env/staging/index.php(17): require(‘/home/*******/…’) #26 {main} thrown in?/home/*******/env/staging/wp-includes/capabilities.php?on line?873

I experienced the same problem.
Probably some conflict with other plugin, I have not time yet to debug in this way, in any case I think is necessary made a change to avoid this eventual conflict.
My quick fix was find in the {YOURPREFIX}_option table the option name: wpp_settings_config and remove the path of the thumb.
This meaning that is not possible change the default thumb image but reolve the fatal error.

Hey guys,

Issue has already been reported here. However, I can’t seem to replicate this:

1. Brand new WordPress website, the only active plugin is WordPress Popular Posts.
2. Went to Settings > WordPress Popular Posts > Tools, replaced the stock “No Thumbnail” with a .png image I just created.
3. Clicked on the Apply button to save changes.

Everything went as expected. No PHP fatal errors whatsoever.

So:

• Can this problem be replicated with all of the other plugins disabled?
• WordPress version?
• Any other info that may be helpful?

As i wrote before wp is 6.11. Unfortunally actually i can’t test each plugin to understand if there is a conflict and wich one is. Maybe is a problem about WP Popular that try to set the thumbnail on a full loaded site full of old post (more than 5.000)… By the way what @sriva suggest seems a good option to go back to functionality – AND NOT TRY to set a default thumbnail image again (or the problem still there). Cheers

I honestly doubt that the issue is linked to the number of posts the site has as the error message is related to user role / permissions (Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function wp_get_current_user() in /…/wp-includes/capabilities.php).

Please try following these troubleshooting instructions and report back your results.
