plugin.php error with php 5.3.8

  • My ISP upgraded their server PHP from 5.2.1.7 to PHP 5.3.8 to protect from hackers. The result has been that awanacanada.ca cannot access and display page data. The template displays with the following warnings:

    Warning: Parameter 1 to ace_where() expected to be a reference, value given in /data/22/2/46/113/2046602/user/2241936/htdocs/home/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 227

    Warning: Parameter 1 to ace_join() expected to be a reference, value given in /data/22/2/46/113/2046602/user/2241936/htdocs/home/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 227

    These warnings point to the following code in plugin.php:

    do {
    foreach( (array) current($wp_filter[$tag]) as $the_ )
    if ( !is_null($the_[‘function’]) )
    $args[0] = call_user_func_array($the_[‘function’], array_slice($args, 0, (int) $the_[‘accepted_args’]));

    } while ( next($wp_filter[$tag]) !== false );

    array_pop( $wp_current_filter );

    return $args[0];
    }

    Does anyone know what needs to be changed here?

    Please advise.

    Thanks

  • Nothing. Try:
    – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme by renaming your current theme’s folder in wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.

    Bear with me while I interpret.

    1. I change the folder name of /htdocs/home/wp-content/themes/thesis_18 to /htdocs/home/wp-content/themes/thesis_18-old

    And that’s it?

    Clicked through to the “resetting the plugins folder” and followed the four steps. The site is back after steps 1 and 2. Step 3 says to login to admin which is fine, but when resetting “plugins-old” back to “plugins”, the warnings reappear. Have a suggestion from this point? Reset each plugin manually through the admin page?

    And that’s it?

    Yes.

    Have a suggestion from this point?

    Don’t rename “plugins-old” back to “plugins”. Instead create a new “plugins” folder and bring the old plugins over from “plugins-hold” one at a time to try and identify the problematic plugin(s).

    Thanks much for your help. We’ll see which one is the culprit.

    Greetings! I have the same issue. Did you find a resolution to this problem? Which plugin was problematic?

    I took the opportunity to clean house on the plugins. (I inherited this site from another developer.) So, I did not use all the plugins that were in the old plugins folder, just the ones I’m sure are in use. However, none caused a problem.

    What happens actually is that copying the plugins into the new folder just makes them accessible to WordPress. You have to reactivate each one. It COULD be the reactivation clears up any problems.
