“WP_Admin_Bar::add_node” error in functions.php within the wp-includes folder…

[jackbean]

Hello,

I have been gotting the error message below:

 

COPY CODE

PHP Notice:  

WP_Admin_Bar::add_node was called <strong>incorrectly</strong>. The menu ID should not be empty. Please see <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress">Debugging in WordPress</a> for more information. (This message was added in version 3.3.0.) 

in /hermes/bosnaweb17a/b1766/ipg.prohrweborg/<strong>wp-includes/functions.php</strong> on line 4139

I tried to find the problem in functions.php within the wp-includes folder but was not successful.  Can you offer some advice?

I’m not sure but I think I started to experience this error after I activated the Jetpack plugin, could that be related? Would a plugin change the functions.php file inside the wp-includes folder?

Thank you!

JB

Hi,

A plugin would not, or at least should not, change or affect core WordPress files. It is however possible that it is causing a conflict with WordPress. Please disable JetPack, clear your website cache, purge any CDN service and clear your local cache (Ctrl+F5) to see if the issue persists.

If it does, please try disabling all other plugins that are not bundled with the theme, repeat the above steps and see if the issue persists.

If it does you may wish to try the following

– Check WordPress permissions for files and folders are correctly set via FTP (0644 for files and 0755 for folders) https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions
– Do a safe backup of both files and database and then navigate to WP Admin > Dashboard > Updates > ‘You have the latest version of WordPress’ and click ‘Reinstall now’ to make sure you have a clean and up to date version of WordPress. This will resolves any issues with corruption.

Thanks,

Kieran

Hi Kieran,

Thanks for the suggestions.

I tried to do all the things you suggested but am still encountering the error. What’s frustrating is that I cannot even find the line of code that’s causing the problem.

Here are the error logs:

20171008T062200: http://www.prohrweb.org/wp-admin/index.php

While I was researching this issue online, I saw that other Kleo user also had this problem (see attached doc), so i think maybe a solution already exist at SeventhQueen 🙂

Thank you!

Hi Kieran,

Just want to add one more thought…

If you think this is a tough issue without an obvious solution, then just let me know I can close the ticket. i don’t want to waste your time if this is a quick fix because I think this is more of a WordPress issue, and not a Kleo theme issue, so I don’t want to take away your time and resources.

thank you!

Hi Kieran,

i did a bit more digging and found the actual php function that was called and trigger the error is in the file “wp-includes/class-wp-admin-bar.php” , but unfortunately I cannot identify which Admin Bar menu item is causing the problem.

Each time I click on a menu item on the Admin Bar, the error log will be generated:

20171008T062200: http://www.prohrweb.org/wp-admin/index.php
PHP Notice: WP_Admin_Bar::add_node was called incorrectly. The menu ID should not be empty. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 3.3.0.) in /hermes/bosnaweb17a/b1766/ipg.prohrweborg/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4139

Is there a way to test the php codes by “step” into the codes line-by-line, so I can see which step is causing the problem?

Thanks!

Hi,

If you remove the snippet in functions.php used to display a users name in menu item from your other ticket, clear caches etc, does the issue continue?

Hi Kieran,

thank you for continuing to think about my issues.

I don’t think the the snippet in functions.php used to display a users name in menu item is the cause.

But in anycase, I don’t know exactly how, but something changed to my WordPress, and the errors went away. In fact, even my WP dashboard interface changed. Maybe some kind of WP upgrade or refresh? But it seemed to make the error messages to go away 🙂

Thanks again for all your patient help!

Jay

Hi Kieran,

Yes I will definitely leave an excellent review for the Kleo theme. It is not the simplest theme for a newbie (such as myself) to start with, but there are many features to allow expansion for the future. I’m very glad that I picked Kleo over other alternatives!

Thank you again for looking into my issues, I appreciate all the help very much!
