This would have been a temporary error generated during the plugin update but got resolved.

Looking at the error details, the fatal error appears to be output from the Yoast plugin source file _class-yoast-notification- center.php_ while trying to fetch the user data. To rule out any possible problems with the data stored in the Yoast database tables, we would request you to install the [Yoast Test Helper](https://wordpress.org/plugins/yoast-test-helper/) plugin. Then go to _Tools > Yoast Test_ and reset the internal link counter, the prominent words calculation, and the indexables tables. This process only resets the tables our plugin uses to store optimized data in the database. Your SEO data is stored in other tables in the WordPress database, so no data is expected to lost. * Once you complete the optimization, does the issue occur? * Thread Starter [rayhan259](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rayhan259/) * (@rayhan259) * [2 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-fatal-error-uncaught-error-call-to-undefined-function-get_userdata/#post-17025257) * hi [@josevarghese](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josevarghese/) * thank you for the solution. * I have done this before but the error is still there and recorded several times every day * Plugin Support [Maybellyne](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maybellyne/) * (@maybellyne) * [2 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-fatal-error-uncaught-error-call-to-undefined-function-get_userdata/#post-17026685) * Thanks for following up with us.
