Hey aWordPressEnthusiast,
Thanks for the heads up about your problem mate. I just did a fresh install of our plugin on a 3.5 install and didn’t encounter any errors. However I did notice that your running it under WAMP which is something I haven’t tried with the plugin yet. I’ll setup WAMP later on tonight and try running it off there to see if there might be an issue with that.
Do you have access to another server you can try setting it up on in the mean time? Also if possible, are you using the latest WAMP?
We’ll get to the bottom of this!
Dave.
The latest version of WAMP has some issues with apache 2.4 that cause it to not be able to go live on my test server while maintaining additional functionality I need (I still use one of the more recent versions available, but with apache 2.2) I only have one other test server on which to test WordPress and your plugin, however, that server has the same setup, the only other thing I could do within reason would be to test it on a Linux virtual machine, I may try that later.
Thanks,

Hey awordpressenthusiast,
I managed to replicate this issue in WAMP. Looks like this issue stems from not having PHP short tags enabled which WAMP seems to do by default. To fix this in WAMP, click on the WAMP icon, go to ‘PHP Settings’ and select the ‘short open tag’ from the menu near the top. Then click on the WAMP icon and ‘Restart All Services’. That should fix it mate, let me know how you go!
I’ll make a note on the installation instructions for this.
Cheers,
Dave.
Ok went one better and made a automatic check for short tags when enabling the plugin, it will now fail gracefully and let the use know the exact problem and how to enable short tags. I’ll push that fix live shortly.
Cheers,
Dave.
Thanks for the fix, it seems to have made a difference! However, now there is a new error:
Fatal error: Call-time pass-by-reference has been removed in C:\wamp\www\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\kontrol-developer-kit\app\modules\app\taxonomies\models\taxonomies.model.php on line 178
Thanks,

Hey awordpressenthusiast,
Ah looks like you’re running PHP 5.4 which removed pass by reference, I was running WAMP 5.3. I’ll take a look at this and change the references for 5.4. I’ll let you know how I go.
Cheers,
Dave.
Ok should be all good now, looks like there was only two pass by reference calls left in from some old legacy code. I’ve fixed them up and pushed the changes, try downloading the plugin again and see how you go!
Goodluck,
Dave.
Seems to be working perfectly.
Thanks!
