Do you have elvui np disabled? Try reproducing the error on a fresh profile. If it only happens on your current profile, DM me the string

[Nefarion]

I had ElvUI Nameplates enabled. Now with them disabled, no error. Thanks!

[Zidras]

Elvui np has to be enabled (in fact the code should only run when those np are initialized). I'll need additional information on how to reproduce

[Nefarion]

Ok! Explains why the error is gone if i turn them off :> I did a little digging: The function was introduced AFTER the latest release of ElvUI_Wotlk. i downloaded the main branch, now it works!
