   on my site I got a bunch of errors regarding deprecated after the host's
   server had an upgrqade this week to phph 5.3.9

   W3 Total Cache was the only plugin falling over. I edited some of the files (identified as Minify.php and tempcache.php in plugins/w3-total-cache/lib/W3/Plugin/ ) to elimate the errors by removing the & in lines with =& new (which has been deprecated in php 5) to read = new this removed a chunk of the error lines but the rest of the deprication errors couldn't be resolved that way.

   I have had to deactivate the plugin for now. I will reactivate at the next update. Still a great plugin!

   The remaining lines are:

   Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/lodgeofh/public_html/wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache/lib/W3/Plugin/TotalCacheAdmin.php on line 1929

   Well deprecated is not a big deal. Plugin still functions. Could lower your error notification and add & ~E_DEPRECATED to error_reporting .

   As I don't have access to my php.ini file I added
   ini_set('display_errors',0);
   to my wp-config.php file right after the first <?php

   <?php
   
   ini_set('display_errors',0);

   That stop the errors showing on the public sideAND on my WP dashboard There are however deprecation errors on the the incoming links panel.

   That, said... when I clear the W3TC's cache it spews out more deprecation errors and breaks the page - indicated deprecation errors are in W3's PgCacheFlush.php & Cache.php files.

   Can I exclude the E_Deprecation on in i_set('display_errors',0); instead of the 0 or do I need the error_reporting line as well?

   These errors will be addressed in the next release. So i would ignore those notices for now.
