Title: Trouble with capabilities.php Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Trouble with capabilities.php * [wazizup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wazizup/) * (@wazizup) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-with-capabilitiesphp/) * Well this is the only one remaining trouble and it sucks big time because I think the Categories problem is generated with this page. This is the error message I have over 50 times in the dasboard * Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /–/–/–/–/members/wp-includes/ capabilities.php on line 1171 Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in/–/–/–/–/ members/wp-includes/capabilities.php on line 1172 Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /–/–/–/–/members/wp-includes/capabilities.php on line 1172 Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /–/–/–/–/members/wp-includes/capabilities. php on line 1175 * The entire site is working and the only trouble I can see is that I can’t get the categories ordered. Can anyone give me an advice ?

If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause. * If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the Twenty Fifteen theme to rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins). * Thread Starter [wazizup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wazizup/) * (@wazizup) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-with-capabilitiesphp/#post-5621050) * the trouble is not with the plugins because I’ve tried that already James I can give it a try with 20/15 – but I have no idea what to do when it’s activated * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-with-capabilitiesphp/#post-5621062) * Just let us know if everything works perfectly with Twenty Fifteen active. * Thread Starter [wazizup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wazizup/) * (@wazizup) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-with-capabilitiesphp/#post-5621076) * I have activated 11/15 but the error is still there (dashboard) I have so far eliminated all the errors but : I remember having changed an URL inside the Database and I will have a look at this because it was a something with wp_ … link or url. * I have manually replaced 4.1 after erasing the part that have to be erased – I have rewrited a part of the database (it’s now working to) but the only think I can think of is the replace url I’ve done in the DB. * If this is not this then it has to be something with the Order Link or Link Categories because on the front side there is the place you can see that the cat order is messed up (the 1st level categories) and the childs seems to have turned into categories … strange strange … * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-with-capabilitiesphp/#post-5621082) * > but the only think I can think of is the replace url I’ve done in the DB. * What did you replace in the database? * Also, try [downloading WordPress](https://wordpress.org/download/) again and delete then replace your copies of *everything* **except** the `wp-config.php` file and the `/wp-content/` directory with fresh copies from the download. This will effectively replace all of your core files without damaging your content and settings. Some uploaders tend to be unreliable when overwriting files, so don’t forget to delete the original files before replacing them. * Thread Starter [wazizup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wazizup/) * (@wazizup) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-with-capabilitiesphp/#post-5621156) * I’ve done this and same :((( * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-with-capabilitiesphp/#post-5621159) * > but the only think I can think of is the replace url I’ve done in the DB. * What did you replace in the database? * Thread Starter [wazizup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wazizup/) * (@wazizup) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-with-capabilitiesphp/#post-5621161) * well I have spent over an hour into the db and I didn’t find any uncorrect url!

When I started working and moving the site, I noticed the problem with the fact that moving it (www.eucmh.com) to (www.members. eucmh.com) then restoring the permalinks didn’t work. Because of time I started then to check all the posts to change the call URLs for photos. Then I was bored because I couldn’t get it out my head. So I started sneaking inside the database and saw an URL [http://www.eucmh.com](http://www.eucmh.com) ! I didnt know what it was and I changed it into [http://www.members.eucmh.com](http://www.members.eucmh.com). The problem with the Categorie was still there. I used the 2 php commands in function.php to make the default theme back, then killed all the plugins then replaced the entire 4.1 distribution. Problem still there 🙁 * I then not only reactivated all the plugins but réinstalled the upgraded ver. of them. Problem still there 🙁 * Anyway I reactivated the theme – Great White Dead Screen …. – I then erased it and changed with another. So I then killed .htacess, got back inside the DB because 1 plugin (paypal links sale) said one key in the DB was missing ! I wrote this key back (I had it installed on another site) the make an execute. * Data base OK – all plugins 100% – Theme 100% – but probleme still there … * The got back here and restarted the discussion. I did yesterday what you asked me to do – new distribution from a new download … problem still there … * I posted in the first message 4 or 5 times the error message but in fact in my dashboard I have it a couple hundred times. * and I still have a categories problem … * that’s the story * Thread Starter [wazizup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wazizup/) * (@wazizup) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-with-capabilitiesphp/#post-5621168) * I just remember (in the DB) that I saw the url [http://www.eucmh.com](http://www.eucmh.com) in the first row when I cliqued “show” in the DB screen * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-with-capabilitiesphp/#post-5621170) * > I used the 2 php commands in function.php to make the default theme back * Which functions.php file did you modify, and PHP commands did you put in it? * > I just remember (in the DB) that I saw the url [http://www.eucmh.com](http://www.eucmh.com) > in the first row when I cliqued “show” in the DB screen * That really doesn’t help, there is no standard to row order, so it could have been anything. * I take it from all this, that you changed something in the database, but you’re not sure what you changed. * Do you have any backups from prior to these changes? * Thread Starter [wazizup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wazizup/) * (@wazizup) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-with-capabilitiesphp/#post-5621173) * I’ve found this in the WP trouble When you have the white screen you have to insert the 2 php code lines in the php page, run it once then remove then ! This set you back to the default theme and give you a dashboard again. * The DB ! of course I have a lot of backups but … I am actually reworking the site and I have already done a lot of work ! Using a backup would set be back for about 1 month :(((( * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-with-capabilitiesphp/#post-5621174) * Please, I’m not psychic. I ask these questions because I need specific details to help you. * Which functions.php file did you modify, and what PHP commands did you put in it? * Thread Starter [wazizup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wazizup/) * (@wazizup) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-with-capabilitiesphp/#post-5621175) * I Know James but it’s not easy to find this again 🙁 it’s already a month of not two.
