FeedWordPress and do_action

Hi Gestroud,

Did you manage to resolve this issue…I have the same problem at http://jazzclubjury.com

Let me know if you found a fix as your site seems to working now.

Thanks

If you upgraded to PHP 5.4 and you are using the Feedwordpress plugin for WordPress, you may encounter error code 500 and fatal errors on your blog, rendering it unreachable with the following errors in the error log:

PHP Fatal error: Call-time pass-by-reference has been removed; If you would like to pass argument by reference, modify the declaration of do_action()

Fixing the problem is easy, you need to do 3 small edits in 2 files:

Go to your wp-content/plugins/feedwordpress folder
open the file admin-ui.php

Find the line:

do_action($this->dispatch.’_save’, &$post, &$this);

Replace it with:

do_action($this->dispatch.’_save’, $post, $this);

Find the line:

do_action($this->dispatch.’_post’, &$post, &$this);

Replace it with:

do_action($this->dispatch.’_post’, $post, $this);

Save and upload admin-ui.php

Now, open the file syndicatedlink.class.php

Find:

$posts = apply_filters(
‘syndicated_feed_items’,
$this->simplepie->get_items(),
&$this
);

Replace with:

$posts = apply_filters(
‘syndicated_feed_items’,
$this->simplepie->get_items(),
$this
);

Save and upload the file.

The errors now should be gone and your blog will start working again.
