Title: Fatal Error: Freemius Last modified: April 12, 2019 --- # Fatal Error: Freemius * Resolved [agreda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/agreda/) * (@agreda) * [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-freemius/) * What is Freemius? Are there any related NGG setting that can be edited regarding this ? * **Better Yet:** Any help resolving this fatal error we discovered in our error logs is greatly appreciated. Our galleries appear to be functioning properly, so I do not know what action may throw the error. I noticed it while reviewing our logs. * Wasn’t sure if this was a bug report or not…Thanks for any feedback! * ``` [20-Dec-2018 19:15:47 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Argument 1 passed to Freemius::get_api_user_scope_by_user() must be an instance of FS_User, boolean given, called in /home/user/public_html/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/freemi us/includes/class-freemius.php on line 18588 and defined in /home/user/public_html/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/fre emius/includes/class-freemius.php:18602 Stack trace: #0 /home/user/public_html/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/freemius/includes/class-freemius.php(18588): Freemius->get_a pi_user_scope_by_user(false) #1 /home/user/public_html/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/freemius/includes/class-freemius.php(18626): Freemius->get_a pi_user_scope(false) #2 /home/user/public_html/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/freemius/includes/class-freemius.php(15981): Freemius->get_c urrent_or_network_user_api_scope() #3 /home/user/public_html/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/freemius/includes/class-freemius.php(9417): Freemius->_fetch _plugin_plans() #4 /home/user/public_html/wp-content in /home/tripawds/public_html/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/freemius/includes/c lass-freemius.php on line 18602 ``` * WordPress 5.0.2 NextGen Version 3.1.2 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ffatal-error-freemius%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * [Vova Feldman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/svovaf/) * (@svovaf) * [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-freemius/#post-11021084) * Hi [@agreda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/agreda/), my name is Vova and I’m from Freemius, the service that NextGEN is using.

I also find no “Opt-out link next to the plugin’s column” as described. * How might one opt out and would that prevent the freemius function from firing? * Thread Starter [agreda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/agreda/) * (@agreda) * [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-freemius/#post-11022350) * [@svovaf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/svovaf/) I have confirmed that the errors persist. I do not know how long these have been going on, but we first noticed them recently after WP 5.x updates and most recent NGG release. * FYI: This is a WP Multisite installation, and errors are occurring quite often on the primary blog, site ID=1. We have been running the NGG plugin for 8± years. * ``` [22-Dec-2018 21:25:34 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Argument 1 passed to Freemius::get_api_user_scope_by_user() must be an instance
