Pushit

I have a contributor that installed a plug in and did not back up prior to. Anyway, this plugin is giving a warning when I try to log in. Once I log in it still shows the error, and all the effected subsequint pages.

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /home/content/c/r/o/crossfitbart/html/wp-login.php on line 158

The line of code that it refers to:

$do_send_email = true; /*pushit*/
do_action(‘retrieve_password_key’, $user_login, $key, &$do_send_email);/*pushit*/
// Now insert the new md5 key into the db
$wpdb->update($wpdb->users, array(‘user_activation_key’ => $key), array(‘user_login’ => $user_login));
}

I bolded the actual line: 158, the line above is 157: and below is the rest of the code for what looks to be the rest of that instruction.

I have searched the forum, read all of the similar issues and tried to change the value of the active plugins so that they are disabled, with no luck so I changed it back…

Please help!
Thanks in advance…
