PHP Warnings When Adding a New User with One User Avatar Plugin

I’ve encountered an issue with the One User Avatar plugin for WordPress, where three PHP warnings are generated each time a new user is added to the site. These warnings seem to relate to attempts to read properties on a string as if it were an object within the plugin’s codebase.

Details of the issue:

• PHP Warnings Encountered:
  1. Attempt to read property "ID" on string at wp-content/plugins/one-user-avatar/includes/class-wp-user-avatar.php:206
  2. Attempt to read property "ID" on string at wp-content/plugins/one-user-avatar/includes/class-wp-user-avatar.php:209
  3. Attempt to read property "user_email" on string at wp-content/plugins/one-user-avatar/includes/class-wp-user-avatar.php:218
• Call Stack for Reference:
  • WP_User_Avatar::wpua_core_show_user_profile() at wp-content/plugins/one-user-avatar/includes/class-wp-user-avatar.php:349
  • WP_User_Avatar::wpua_action_show_user_profile() at wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php:324
  • do_action('user_new_form') at wp-admin/user-new.php:650

Expected Behavior:

Adding a new user should not trigger any warnings or errors, and the One User Avatar functionality should integrate seamlessly with the WordPress user creation process.

Actual Behavior:

The specified PHP warnings are generated, indicating a potential issue with how properties are being accessed within the plugin’s code, likely due to treating a string as an object.

Environment:

• WordPress version: 6.4.3
• One User Avatar plugin version: 2.2.16
• PHP version: 8.0.30

Possible Solution:

It appears that there may be a misunderstanding or incorrect handling of a variable type within the plugin’s codebase, particularly in the wpua_core_show_user_profile and wpua_action_show_user_profile functions. A review and adjustment of how the user object is accessed and utilized in these functions might resolve the issue.

I hope this information is helpful for diagnosing and resolving the issue. Please let me know if there’s any additional information or testing I can provide to assist further.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
