After updating Magento Community from 1.7 to 1.9 via Magento Connect Manager, my website is now throwing fatal errors. The front end displays this error at the moment:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method Mage_Paypal_Model_Config::getBmlPublisherId() in /home/sinks/public_html/app/code/core/Mage/Paypal/Block/Bml/Banners.php on line 75

The backend allows me to login and under ever tab it shows this fatal error:

Fatal error: Undefined class constant 'XML_PATH_TAX_NOTIFICATION_URL' in /home/sinks/public_html/app/code/core/Mage/Tax/Block/Adminhtml/Notifications.php on line 175

I tried restoring the app & var directories from a recent backup and it has not fixed the problem. Do I have to do a completely restore all of the directories to fix the issue? I'll be fine with reverting the entire platform back to 1.7 if possible.

have you installed an extension named BML in 1.7 version, if yes try disabling it and then check. – Sunil Verma
In this case, there isn't an extension name BML. – PhilRinaldi

Update: After restoring my app & var directories and deleting all cache & sessions, it wasn't working until I then emptied the minifycache folder as well. I am a bit worried about the stability now because when I log in to MagentoConnect, it is saying that I'm running Magento 1.9 although at the bottom of my backend it shows that I'm running 1.7.

Check "community" and "local" pools. It seems you rewrite Config.php in Paypal directory and new magento bml functions not working properly. Check /app/code/local/Mage/Paypal or /app/code/community/Mage/Paypal. If you have any files there try to delete them or copy the new one from /app/code/core/Mage/Paypal and make changes you have in existing files.

I had the same issue after upgrading to 1.9.0.1, deleting app/code/local/Mage/Paypal seems to have solved the problem, the error message has gone from the frontend and I can access payment methods in the backend.

After updating magento to 1.9 I also have the same issue, You can simply disable the Mage_Paypal module from backend, You can find this under System -> Configuration -> Advanced ->Advanced

Thanks

I had the same issue after upgrading to 1.9.3.1. Error indicates:

Fatal error: Undefined class constant 'METHOD_BML' in /domain_name/app/code/core/Mage/Paypal/Block/Bml/Banners.php on line 75

When you upgrade to this version, a folder named Bml is created under app/code/core/Mage/Paypal/Block/ and this was not present in my old version 1.8 so I compressed this folder for safekeeping, then delete Bml folder. It worked for me.
