Title: fatal error when using groups plugin Last modified: September 1, 2016 --- # fatal error when using groups plugin * Resolved [JulieMarie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/juliemarie/) * (@juliemarie) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-caused-by-groups-plugin/) * I’m using the groups plugin by itthinx.com and after a user successfully deletes their account they are given a fatal error that makes it look like something went wrong even though their account has been erased. This happens on my single site regardless of the landing url setting * `Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function get_role_caps() on boolean in /home/protec63/public_html/wp-content/plugins/groups/lib/core/class-groups- user.php:389 Stack trace: #0 /home/protec63/public_html/wp-content/plugins/groups/ lib/core/class-groups-user.php(308): Groups_User->init_cache(Array, Array) #1/ home/protec63/public_html/wp-content/plugins/groups/lib/wp/class-groups-wordpress. php(81): Groups_User->can('view_query_moni...') #2 /home/protec63/public_html/ wp-includes/plugin.php(235): Groups_WordPress::user_has_cap(Array, Array, Array)# 3 /home/protec63/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-user.php(741): apply_filters(' user_has_cap', Array, Array, Array, Object(WP_User)) #4 /home/protec63/public_html/ wp-includes/capabilities.php(436): WP_User->has_cap('view_query_moni...') #5 / home/protec63/public_html/wp-content/plugins/query-monitor/classes/Dispatcher. php(88): current_user_can('view_query_moni...') #6 /home/protec63/public_html/ wp-content/plugins/query-monitor/dispatchers/Redirect.php(63): QM_Dispatcher- in /home/protec63/public_html/wp-content/plugins/groups/lib/core/class-groups- user.php on line 389` Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) * Plugin Author [cmc3215](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cmc3215/) * (@cmc3215) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-caused-by-groups-plugin/#post-7592481) * Hi, thanks for reporting your issue. Sorry about the late response, just saw your question. * I installed the Groups plugin and assigned a new user to a couple groups and tested deletion using the shortcode and profile page. I was unable to reproduce the error, or any error. * Since these errors are happening on PHP files belonging to Groups, I’d report it to them, they may be eager to fix this. * Sorry I wasn’t able to help 🙁 * [Kento](https://wordpress.org/support/users/proaktion/) * (@proaktion) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-caused-by-groups-plugin/#post-8925623) * Hi, * The latest Groups 2.0.3 release fixes this kind of errors, thanks for looking into the issue! I suppose you could mark this one as resolved 😉 * Cheers * [jagesso](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jagesso/) * (@jagesso) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-caused-by-groups-plugin/#post-9023636) * I have Groups 2.1.1 (current version) and am getting these errors. I found them as a result of investigating CPU spikes on my server. There are tons of them. Here are a couple of samples. * I don’t think this problem is fixed. * [Tue Apr 11 07:13:15.192347 2017] [fcgid:warn] [pid 495927:tid 139688912353024][ client xxx.xx.xxx.xxx:49264] mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function get_role_caps() on boolean in /home/jagessojabw/public_html/xx.com/wp- content/plugins/groups/lib/core/class-groups-user.php on line 389 * [Tue Apr 11 07:01:24.423286 2017] [fcgid:warn] [pid 495729:tid 139688775984896][ client xxx.xx.xxx.xxx:64683] mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function get_role_caps() on boolean in /home/jagessojabw/public_html/xx.com/wp- content/plugins/groups/lib/core/class-groups-user.php on line 389 Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) The topic ‘fatal error when using groups plugin’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/delete-me/assets/icon-128x128.png?rev=970332) * [Delete Me](https://wordpress.org/plugins/delete-me/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/delete-me/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/delete-me/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/delete-me/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/delete-me/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/delete-me/reviews/) * 3 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [jagesso](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jagesso/) * Last activity: [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-caused-by-groups-plugin/#post-9023636) * Status: resolved
