 * Hello,
 * My WordPress, NextGEN and all plugins are up to date. Suddenly, I am receiving
   a strange error when trying to perform any search on my site, saying the following
   at the top of a blank white page:
 * Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in /var/www/vhosts/
   s18517905.onlinehome-server.com/wanderluster.net/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/
   products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/datamapper/module.datamapper.php on line 
   94
 * You can view an example of the error here:
    [http://www.wanderluster.net/?s=europe](http://www.wanderluster.net/?s=europe)
 * Any idea what may have happened and how to resolve this?
 * Thanks so much in advance for your time and assistance!!

 * Hello Cais,
 * The only thing that changed was an update to WordPress and an update to my theme.
   One of these updates must be creating the error.
 * Any idea how to resolve that line 94 in the code, or do you know what it is referring
   to?
 * Thank you!

 * [@architeqt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/architeqt/) – I’m not seeing
   anything specifically related to the latest WordPress release on your site that
   might be related to this issue.
 * Have you tried temporarily switching to a default WordPress Twenty series theme
   to see if this issue persists? We’re not aware of any specific issues with Themify
   themes but as that is the only other referenced change it should be reviewed 
   just in case.
 * As to the line reference, if all was working before then that should not be an
   issue now and unless there were changes directly to your database or the database
   user’s privileges then I cannot think of why that would be tripping up anything.
 * Thanks!

 * Hello Cais,
 * I have switched to the default WordPress theme, and tested the search again and
   it worked. I assume this means that it is a problem with the Themify theme and
   not with the plugin?
 * Thank you,

 * [@architeqt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/architeqt/) – It definitely 
   points to a conflict between the two but we are not aware of anything specifically(
   aside from what you are reporting). Have you advised the Themify authors of the
   issue you are seeing? Do they have any additional insights to offer?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi again,
 * I have alerted the Themify support staff, and they are currently looking into
   the issue. Hopefully, they can figure out what’s happening!
 * Thank you!

 * Hello Cais,
 * I’ve received this comment from the Themify team – can you please check if you
   can help with their question?
 * “We’ll forward this to the development team to check. Can you please also contact
   the plugin’s developers and seek their advise? Any information regarding the 
   datamapper class (that’s where the error is occurring) that would help in debugging
   could be useful.”
 * Thank you!

 * [@architeqt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/architeqt/) – The data mapper
   is used as part of the storage for our galleries … although if the Themify authors
   are having issues tracking this down in their code then I would suggest having
   then send us a Bug Report so we can get one of our developers to work with them
   as needed.

 * Hi Cais,
 * Thank you for your help – the Themify team has fixed the issue on my site, and
   will be including the fix on their next framework update.
 * Thanks again!
