I got Wordpress 2.8.2 up and running on my server, went to install OpenID 3.2.3, and got a ton of fatal errors:
Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/buni/public_html/ranch-on-mars/wp-content/plugins/openid/Auth/OpenID/Server.php on line 1100 Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/buni/public_html/ranch-on-mars/wp-content/plugins/openid/Auth/OpenID/Server.php on line 1680 Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/buni/public_html/ranch-on-mars/wp-content/plugins/openid/Auth/OpenID/Server.php on line 1681 Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/buni/public_html/ranch-on-mars/wp-content/plugins/openid/Auth/OpenID/Server.php on line 1682
So, after much research, I found multiple comments about "=& new" being a deprecated notation in PHP5, so I went through all of the OpenID php files and removed them... but now when I activate the plugin, I just get a Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error. window with no error inside of it. I'm seeing a return in my access logs for "GET /wp-admin/plugins.php?action=error_scrape&plugin=openid/openid.php&_wpnonce=a33bb9738b HTTP/1.1" 200 704 so it's reporting that it had some kind of error, but it isn't showing me what actually failed!
Any thoughts? I've tried multiple versions of Apache and WP each; the only thing I haven't tried is downgrading PHP, which seems like a generally bad idea given the security flaws in PHP4, but I'm at a loss as to what else to try to make this work. Anyone have any ideas?
