member function error

hi all,
when a member tries to update their password or profile, if they accidentally forget or mistype the captcha or other fields they're directed to an error page as follows:
"0 Call to a member function get() on null"

could you please update this or let us know how to resolve it so they are not seeing an error, rather a notification letting them know they need to make the correction? this looks bad to the end user. thank you!

Enable debug mode and maximum error reporting in Joomla global configuration then retry. That should output the full error; including its path. That typically happens when something is trying to call ->get on a $user object that isn't a user object.

I did as you suggested and this time the error was as it should be and simply displayed at the top of the page:
**Error**
: This field is required!

Now it seems that I cannot reprocuce the issue any longer. Shall I just consider us lucky in this case or is there a reason, meaning could that have resolved it? Thank you

I'm guessing it may have been an installed plugin or the user wasn't synchronized with CB properly. Be sure not to create users outside of CB. If you do then be sure to run the synchronize users tool in CB > Tools. If issue shows up again try unpublishing installed CB plugins 1 by 1 within CB > Plugin Management until issue goes away to see if a plugin is causing it.
