Hi,

I haven’t come across this error, and with a fresh copy downloaded I’m not seeing it.

Is this something that still persists on your end?

Thanks,
Evan

Hi Evan, sorry for the late respond.

Yes, I’ve downloaded the plugin again, and tried on single and network installation same error message.

There is something I can do to give you more infos?

I get exactly the same error. It also produces a bunch of errors when you try to save settings.

The error occurs only when there is define('WP_DEBUG', true); in wp-config.php.

You can add a die(); after line 128 in wp-updates-notifier.php and you’ll see the actual error (which is reported by WordPress as “The plugin generated 261 characters of unexpected output during activation”) :

Strict Standards: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, non-static method sc_WPUpdatesNotifier::enable_cron() should not be called statically in /var/www/site/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 525

The error will not occur if you add the static word to the enable_cron function. For more information check PHP: Static Keyword

Hi @diana,

Thanks for your respond.

I can fix by my self as you suggested, but the problem will be fixed in the next release of the plugin? I don’t want to perform the same task every time the plugin get an update.

I don’t know about that. I’m not the plugin’s developer. I’m only a user that stumbled upon the problem and solved it.

I am looking into the issue this morning.

If I am able to replicate things, stand by for a patch.

Evan
