    Hi @birgire,

    Thanks for posting on the forums.

    I could reproduce the same issue using latest version of Membership plugin so i have notified the plugin developer to fix it in the plugin.

    This is a simple PHP warning, it is nothing to worry about!
    Do you have WP_DEBUG set to true in your wp-config.php file?
    If you do then please set it to false.
    This will hide the warning messages and you will be able to use your site normally.

    Alternatively you can just search the =& in the membership plugin files and replace it with = as shown following.

    Example:
    Before Editing:

    $sub =& new M_Subscription( $sub_id );

    After Editing:

    $sub = new M_Subscription( $sub_id );

    Kind Regards,
    WPMU DEV

    Many thanks for the reply

    No problem, I’m logging all PHP notices/errors in the debug.log file.

    I’m always looking for ways to keep that file empty, but I only edit plugin files as last resort ??

    Will this be updated in the next version of the plugin?

    Hopefully this will be useful to others as well.

    cheers
