Strange bug?

Hello!
I just installed Suffusion on my new Wordpress blog. I use Wordpress 2.9.2. I have a strange bug - it shows me a warning information. I don't have idea, what it means, because I'm new in all these Wordpress things.

Code: Select all
Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /home/sites/d/dy/dyn/dynamites.za.pl/wp-content/themes/suffusion/widgets/suffusion-featured-posts.php on line 432 Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /home/sites/d/dy/dyn/dynamites.za.pl/wp-content/themes/suffusion/widgets/suffusion-featured-posts.php on line 432 Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /home/sites/d/dy/dyn/dynamites.za.pl/wp-content/themes/suffusion/widgets/suffusion-featured-posts.php on line 432 Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /home/sites/d/dy/dyn/dynamites.za.pl/wp-content/themes/suffusion/widgets/suffusion-featured-posts.php on line 433 Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /home/sites/d/dy/dyn/dynamites.za.pl/wp-content/themes/suffusion/widgets/suffusion-featured-posts.php on line 435 Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /home/sites/d/dy/dyn/dynamites.za.pl/wp-content/themes/suffusion/widgets/suffusion-featured-posts.php on line 435 Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /home/sites/d/dy/dyn/dynamites.za.pl/wp-content/themes/suffusion/widgets/suffusion-featured-posts.php on line 435 Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /home/sites/d/dy/dyn/dynamites.za.pl/wp-content/themes/suffusion/widgets/suffusion-featured-posts.php on line 436 Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /home/sites/d/dy/dyn/dynamites.za.pl/wp-content/themes/suffusion/widgets/suffusion-featured-posts.php on line 438 Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /home/sites/d/dy/dyn/dynamites.za.pl/wp-content/themes/suffusion/widgets/suffusion-featured-posts.php on line 438 Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /home/sites/d/dy/dyn/dynamites.za.pl/wp-content/themes/suffusion/widgets/suffusion-featured-posts.php on line 438 Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /home/sites/d/dy/dyn/dynamites.za.pl/wp-content/themes/suffusion/widgets/suffusion-featured-posts.php on line 439 Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /home/sites/d/dy/dyn/dynamites.za.pl/wp-content/themes/suffusion/widgets/suffusion-featured-posts.php on line 441 Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /home/sites/d/dy/dyn/dynamites.za.pl/wp-content/themes/suffusion/widgets/suffusion-featured-posts.php on line 441 Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /home/sites/d/dy/dyn/dynamites.za.pl/wp-content/themes/suffusion/widgets/suffusion-featured-posts.php on line 441 Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /home/sites/d/dy/dyn/dynamites.za.pl/wp-content/themes/suffusion/widgets/suffusion-featured-posts.php on line 442 Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /home/sites/d/dy/dyn/dynamites.za.pl/wp-content/themes/suffusion/widgets/suffusion-featured-posts.php on line 444 Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /home/sites/d/dy/dyn/dynamites.za.pl/wp-content/themes/suffusion/widgets/suffusion-featured-posts.php on line 444 Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /home/sites/d/dy/dyn/dynamites.za.pl/wp-content/themes/suffusion/widgets/suffusion-featured-posts.php on line 444 Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /home/sites/d/dy/dyn/dynamites.za.pl/wp-content/themes/suffusion/widgets/suffusion-featured-posts.php on line 445


It shows everywhere - on the top of my blog, in WP Admin, in Dashboard (in Incoming Links, WP Development Blog, Plugins, other WP News).
If You can help me, I would be very, very thankful.

Thanks in Advance

1)
Does this happen only with SUFFUSION or it happens with other themes as well?
Please try to switch to another theme, the best would be one of the default themes and check

2)
I googled for that warning "Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in"

this is a problem of your PHP-Configuration.

the php.ini needs this statement:
Code: Select all
allow_call_time_pass_reference = On


Check if you have a "personal" php.ini-File at your webspace and add this statement.
If not ask your hoster's support to allow call_time_pass_reference

and please tell us whether this happens with Suffusion only, which I doubt ;)

Good luck, Connie

Well, given that Suffusion uses call by reference at a few places, but so do quite a few advanced themes and plugins. I believe some of WP's core functions use it too. I can't recall which, but probably some of the functions that deal with comments have call by reference arguments.

I think you should take this up with your host - it is just a warning and nothing is really breaking (apart from showing ugly messages, of course)

I just found another forum posting at a hoster's site where exactly Suffusion is name ..

http://www.wp-united.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=2018

but: as this happens only very rarely, I think it is a configuration problem

as these messages are warnings, the output of warnings can be stopped by configurating the php-configuration

Hello,

I use also Suffusion, great theme, thank you. But from yesterday I have the a problem, it shows strange bugs on the main page:

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /mnt/web8/20/03/51977103/htdocs/wp-content/themes/suffusion/featured-posts.php on line 128

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /mnt/web8/20/03/51977103/htdocs/wp-content/themes/suffusion/featured-posts.php on line 129

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /mnt/web8/20/03/51977103/htdocs/wp-content/themes/suffusion/featured-posts.php on line 130

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /mnt/web8/20/03/51977103/htdocs/wp-content/themes/suffusion/featured-posts.php on line 131

I changed the theme by default and these issues are dissapeared. I try to find php.ini. but I'didní vind it. Could you please tell me where is it located? Or if is another wy to solve this problem, please tell me.
I'm a newbie with wordpress.

When these problems happen and you did not change anything in your webspace configuration, your hoster must have changed something, maybe PHP-upgrades etc.

So contact your hoster's support. You pay for it ;)

to change the PHP.INI or settings there you should contact your hoster,
because the setting which caused these problems, is identified and must be configured by your hoster.

Good luck,

Connie

I've also had this issue. I had a Wordpress site with the Suffusion theme.

Wanted a phpBB forum integrated, so I installed WP-United. Suffusion reported multiple errors, of the kind seen here:
http://www.wp-united.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=2018

I uninstalled WP-United and all the issues stopped.

I will try and reactivate it and then apply another Wordpress theme to see if this is a Suffusion-specific issue.

Anyone out there have a successful WP/Suffusion/WP-United site?
