 * I have updated php from 5.3 to 5.4 and now I am getting white screen. Below is
   the error which I am getting.
 * `PHP Fatal error: Call-time pass-by-reference has been removed in wp-content/
   plugins/like-button-plugin-for-wordpress/include/fb_meta.php on line 169`
 * I have tried updating the plugin to latest version but its still having the issue.
