Answer 2

I had multiple such  issues when upgraded from 1.7.4 to 1.8.0. Troubleshooting for a while, decided to delete the Q2A folder with 1.7.4 completely and copied vanilla 1.8.0 files.  After this by keeping the database that worked with 1.7.4, ran the upgrade for 1.8.0 as prompted. This fixed all the issues and none of the error messages appear any more.

Once the upgrade completed, copied the latest versions of all the needed plugins. No issues so far.
