[OJS] Upgrading from 2.4 to 3.2: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function getId()

[Azm9oth]

Hello everyone,

I am upgrading from OJS 2.4 to the latest version OJS 3.2.0-3.
When I click on upgrade, it works (upgrading icon circulates) for about one minute, then I get a blank page with the 500 error.

Checking the error logs, I have these warnings/errors:
