Hello community.


I just upgraded from Moodle version 3.4.2 to 3.5 and followed all the steps in the upgrade procedure.


I get a number of error messages when I go to the admin area afterwards including:

parent does not exist!
  • line 913 of /lib/adminlib.php: call to debugging()
  • line 68 of /admin/settings/privacy.php: call to admin_category->add()
  • line 7999 of /lib/adminlib.php: call to require()
  • line 19 of /admin/settings.php: call to admin_get_root()

Do you have any Idea what that can be?

Slightly worryingly, you are now the second person to report this.

Do you have any optional plugins (especially a theme) and especially ones that are not *definitely* compatible with 3.5?

Hello Howard,


I am using the adaptable theme, latest edition, which should be compatible. I did try to switch to the default theme to see if the error messages remained. They did

By chance did you have installed the GDPR plugins on the 3.4.2 prior to upgrading to 3.5 (has those as core in this version).

...or, even, have you still got those plugins installed (you don't need them).

Although, that should be covered by my "are all your plugins compatible" question...

Switching off/on plugins didn't make a difference. 

As everything seems to work ok I changed the debugging level from all to minimal, which leaves me in the belief that everything is ok - at least for now

It isn't... you're just hiding the error.
