Profile update causes Catchable fatal error

    I don’t have any plugins activated so this isn’t an issue. And it isn’t a matter of the theme, because I’ve tried various themes and it doesn’t change anything.

    When I’m in the back end of my site, I want to change my nickname from Admin to my real name (I’ve even just left everything as it is) and clicked the “Update Profile” button and get this error message.

    Catchable fatal error: Object of class __PHP_Incomplete_Class could not be converted to string in /home/private/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1486

    This is line 1486

    $array[$k] = addslashes( $v );

    Any fixes for this?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Have you tried establishing a new user with your nickname? Give yourself admin priviledges and then delete admin. This may be the easy way to accomplish what you want.

    Fantastic idea.

    I’ve created another user and was about to delete the current admin, but caught myself before something went wrong. Do I get to keep those files, pages, posts? Where do they go if I delete the original Admin that created them?

    I’m new to all of this but try to figure it out before asking someone else. It’s a guy thing I think LOL

    You have to sign in as the new user. When deleting the old you will get this message . . .

    You have specified these users for deletion:
    ID #1: Captain Tom
    What should be done with posts and links owned by this user?

    Delete all posts and links. yes/no
    Attribute all posts and links to: Captain Tom2

    Good job

    Thank you for all the help.

    I’ve deleted the Admin user and assigned all of the posts and links to my real name.

    I find it funny that everything I couldn’t do with the Admin user, I can now do with the new username.

    Isn’t coding funny?

    Thanks again

    hi guys,

    i’m having the same problem here. I already did what you guys suggested, create a new super admin user then transfer posts to this new user.

    Well at first when you create the user it is working fine, I can update my profile with no errors. but after a few weeks the error appears again. what could be causing this error?

    It’s been a week since I created the new Admin and seem to be trouble free at the moment. I hope this isn’t going to create an issue in the future :/

    Go for you vince,

    as for me I can’t delete my other super admin because their’s no button to confirm my action when i try to delete it. i’m using wpmu on my site.

    I searched the net and nothing’s comes out with the correct answer or no one has a specific solution for this.
