    Deprecated: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /home/content/42/9065142/html/sites/socypaa/wp-content/plugins/shrinktheweb-website-preview-plugin/wplib/utils_formbuilder.inc.php on line 1290

    WP 3.5.2
    PHP 5.3

    I realize the plugin doesn’t claim to be compatible with 3.5.2, but I was wondering if there might be some workaround for this error. At the moment it doesn’t seem to be impacting the plugin’s functionality, but certainly doesn’t look good. Seems to consistently disappear after a couple page refreshes, but I’d rather clients don’t see it at all.
    Is this an informational error? Can I perhaps somehow instruct PHP not to show deprecation errors? :\

    EDIT: Occurs in the admin dashboard when logged in, but also on the site when not logged in.

    Thanks in advance,
    – Oran

    Hello,

    Actually, I believe it is PHP 5.3 that is spitting out that error message. On a production system, you probably should hide deprecated errors.

    In your php.ini, you may have something like this:

    error_reporting(E_ALL);

    Change it to:

    error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED);

    As far as “fixing” this error, it would require our plugin to use an updated version of the WordPress form builder. At present, I do not believe that they have updated to support PHP 5.3. However, either way, we will take a look when possible and update to newer versions as they become available.

    Best regards,

    Brandon
