Error bringing down entire site

    Out of the blue, our website stopped working completely and we just started getting error messages displayed.

    PHP Fatal error: Can’t use function return value in write context in /home/gigperformer/public_html/wp-content/plugins/very-simple-knowledge-base/vskb-one-column.php on line 74

    No idea what happened or why. I temporarily disabled this plugin and got the website working again but without the knowledgebase.

    When I tried to activate the plugin again (I removed and reinstalled it, hope I haven’t lost our KB articles!), it would not activate and in the error logs I just saw the above message numerous times.

    Anyone know what might have happened and more importantly how to fix it?

    (NB, line 74 of that file is

    if (empty(get_the_title( $single_post->ID ) )) {

    )

    This could happen with all other content management systems that use third party themes and plugins. It’s impossible or at least very difficult to check every line of code before executing it. But I agree, I did not expect a whole site could break on something trivial like this ??

    Have updated plugin few moments ago. Problem should be solved.
