Depreciation in class-simplepie.php?

    I logged in to my site’s dashboard yesterday, and everything was fine. Today, howeever, I logged in and found HUNDREDS of error on the dashboard page:

    Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/[username]/public_html/personal/wp-includes/class-simplepie.php on line 738

    These appear under “WordPress Development Blog”, “Incoming Links” and “Plug-Ins”. As I said, there are hundreds of these error messages. In all cases, the expected content is eventually displayed after all the error messages finish.

    I have no knowledge of PHP, but I think I understand what it says. How can I go about fixing this error?

    Per my host, I’m using Apache 1.3.42, PHP 5.3.4, and MySQL 4.1.22-standard.

    Thanks!

    Rex

  • Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the Twenty Ten theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    Thanks for the tip about the plug-ins! So often you forget to overlook the obvious things, especially since I hadn’t updated in any plug-ins in a while. Additionally, since the problem seem to be “internal” (i.e. on the Dashboard page) I figured there was some PHP issue (like my hosting updating something without telling me).

    Come to find out, it was the “IDrive plug-in for WordPress”. If I disabled it, the issue went away. If i re-enabled it, the problem came back. Repeatedly.

    Off to either find a new WP backup plug-in or deal with IDrive.

    Glad to hear that you managed to find the culprit. ??
