Comments.Text: Hi Demerit, yes I think we've narrowed it down to the Smart Debit extension for processing direct debits, but still finding it hard to resolve after upgrade.

Comments.Text: Can you do a `grep -r membrships <extdir>` and replace`<extdir>` with your extension directory? I'm not seeing where that error message is coming from which is why I asked about extensions. I don't see it in the smart debit extension either.
