I updated the problematical DO backup site to PHP 5.4 this afternoon, and the site appears to be working okay with the newer PHP version. Dreamhost is upgrading my shared server to Ubuntu this coming Sunday, so I’m going to wait on that before considering any further plug-in analysis.

Okay, Mika, thanks for the ready reply. I’m inclined to think that creating and modifying a personal phprc file may not be worthwhile. Perhaps I’ll just return to doing backups manually for such sites (via shell commands).

However, maybe PHP 5.4. So, online I couldn’t find any definitive discussion about WordPress 4.0 and PHP 5.4 compatibility. Any gotchas regarding WordPress itself, themes, plug-ins, etc.?

Yes, the “fix” at https://mosquito.www.ads-software.com/view.php?id=903 also worked for me with fresh installs of WordPress 1.5. Glad to find this discussion. ?? Repeating what “toby” wrote there:

Not sure why these lines are there, but if you comment out lines 112-115 of wp-blog-header.php, RSS feeds work. In other words, take these lines:

————–
????????if ( preg_match(‘/cgi/’, php_sapi_name()) )
????????????????@header(‘Status: 404 Not Found’);
????????else
????????????????@header(‘HTTP/1.x 404 Not Found’);
————–

and turn them into this:

————–
/* if ( preg_match(‘/cgi/’, php_sapi_name()) )
????????????????@header(‘Status: 404 Not Found’);
????????else
????????????????@header(‘HTTP/1.x 404 Not Found’); */
