[Solved] Clicking contacts causes "Could not find valid value for cid" error
October 28, 2012, 05:38:48 pm
WordPress 3.42
CiviCRM 4.20

I can Find Contacts.  But when I click on any contact name, or on "View" or "Edit", Civi pukes with the following:

Code: [Select]
/var/www/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/CRM/Core/Error.php, backtrace, 293
/var/www/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/CRM/Utils/Request.php, fatal, 106
/var/www/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/CRM/Contact/Page/View.php, retrieve, 98
/var/www/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/CRM/Contact/Page/View/Summary.php, preProcess, 51
/var/www/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/CRM/Contact/Page/View/Summary.php, preProcess, 94
/var/www/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/CRM/Core/Invoke.php, run, 228
/var/www/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm.php, invoke, 271
, civicrm_wp_invoke,
/var/www/wp-includes/plugin.php, call_user_func_array, 403
/var/www/wp-admin/admin.php, do_action, 151



Sorry but we are not able to provide this at the moment.
Could not find valid value for cid

On the same screen, I've noticed that clicking on the contact icon labeled in its hint label as "Individual", I get an Ajax screen showing not the contact, but a screen with my own user name and a darkened rendering of the WordPress dashboard.

Can you check the base URL for both the search and view and edit pages?

I mean the www.mysite.com or mysite.com part of the URL. Is it the same for all?

Not sure what the issue is, but I would suggest you try upgrading to CiviCRM 4.2.6. Also MySQL 5.0 is known to be a problematic (i.e. buggy) version and I would strongly recommend to upgrade that also.

The only other issue might be your PHP version or server configuration.

Hi Hershel,

My forum profile had some outdated info in it, since updated. 

The system is running MySQL 5.5.24 and PHP  5.3.10-1ubuntu3.4

I attempted an upgrade to Civi 4.2.6 and ended up with a different error, spelled out in this thread:

http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,26652.0.html

Would love some tips on debugging here.   This is a test server.

This turned out to be caused by a security plugin for Wordpress called WebsiteDefender WordPress Security.  Shut that off, problem goes away.
