[Plugin: Smallerik File Browser] Error on activating plugin on local wordpress installation

  • Hi,

    Plugin worked perfectly on my server but failed to activate on my local server.

    “Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

    Fatal error: Call-time pass-by-reference has been removed in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\smallerik-file-browser\wpfib.php on line 144″

    I am running XAMPP 1.8.0 with Apache/2.4.2 OpenSSL/1.0.1c PHP/5.4.4 and MySQL 5.5.25a

    Please Advise.

    Thank you

  • im having the same issue on my local WAMPserver!

    WampServer 2.2

    Apache Version : 2.2.22
    PHP Version : 5.4.3
    MySQL Version : 5.5.24

    Try with PHP 5.3.13. It worked for me

    I had the same issue.

    I fixed the problem, had to remove all of the references from function calls and put them in the functions themselves. So I took all the ampersands in front of the variables in the calls and moved those ampersands to the functions themselves.

    Then I discovered the image links used a ‘wpfib’ directory name instead of what came by default when I unzipped it, so I renamed the directory.

    Then I discovered it defaults to having user id = 1 as the only one with any admin rights on the plugin settings. So in /plugins/wpfib/includes/options.php line 263 – change the return to false temporarily, add your admin username to the permissions and then change it back.

    Josh any chance you could share your corrected file/code?
    My PHP isnt that good.

    For those who arent aware this problem was caused by PHP 5.4.

    Jim
