We use DoubleClick for Publishers (DFP), which allows us to pass custom tracking codes. How they use it on the accounting side of things, I don’t know, but I know that’s what we use on our sites and mobile apps for ad rev share. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [PHP 5.4 disables pages](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-54-disables-pages/) * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-54-disables-pages/#post-4191916) * Well, both sort of. But it’s really more a case of plugins not keeping up with changes in PHP. I’ve had a couple plugins that gave me this error in the last few months. We host most of our smaller WordPress sites on Bluehost. One plugin I simply rewrote and put on the repository, the other I had to make an emergency fix to, but I think the author has updated his plugin now. The call-time pass- by-reference removal is the only issue I’ve had with PHP 5.4. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [PHP 5.4 disables pages](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-54-disables-pages/) * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-54-disables-pages/#post-4191909) * [http://www.php.net/manual/en/migration54.incompatible.php](http://www.php.net/manual/en/migration54.incompatible.php) * Call-time pass by reference has been removed. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [PHP 5.4 disables pages](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-54-disables-pages/) * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-54-disables-pages/#post-4191908) * I’ve had a few plugins break when Bluehost switched to PHP 5.4.

As I recall, `/wp-includes/pluggable.php` (which defines the `wp_get_current_user` function) doesn’t get loaded until after plugins are loaded. * So, it’s most likely a plugin causing the issue. Disable your plugins and see if that eliminates the error. If not, try a default WordPress theme like Twenty Thirteen (but I’m pretty sure this is a plugin issue) * If deactivating your plugins does get rid of the error then you need to find out which plugin is causing the issue. * Assuming it is a plugin causing the problem, the plugin author needs to add this to their code: * ``` ``` * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Error When Deleting Admin Account that Created the Site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-deleting-admin-account-that-created-the-site/) * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-deleting-admin-account-that-created-the-site/page/2/#post-4188656) * Missed that too, apologies 🙂 * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Error When Deleting Admin Account that Created the Site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-deleting-admin-account-that-created-the-site/) * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-deleting-admin-account-that-created-the-site/page/2/#post-4188637) * > Doug, we have 4 accounts with Admin role.

This suggests to me that you are logged in as the user you are trying to delete (as did the error message you posted earlier). * Perhaps it would be easier to walk you through it if you list the user names ( even if they’re made up, but so we have something to reference). * For sake of discussion, let’s say you have four users, all with administrator role: * admin1 admin2 admin3 admin4 * If you want to delete admin1, then should be able to do that if you are logged in as admin2, admin3, or admin4. If you are logged in as admin1, then you won’t be able to delete admin1. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Error When Deleting Admin Account that Created the Site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-deleting-admin-account-that-created-the-site/) * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-deleting-admin-account-that-created-the-site/#post-4188623) * But never the less, if you log in with your admin account, then you should be able to delete another user, even if that other user’s role is administrator. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Error When Deleting Admin Account that Created the Site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-deleting-admin-account-that-created-the-site/) * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-deleting-admin-account-that-created-the-site/#post-4188621) * Does the other account have administrator role? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Error When Deleting Admin Account that Created the Site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-deleting-admin-account-that-created-the-site/) * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-deleting-admin-account-that-created-the-site/#post-4188619) * `ID# The current user will not be removed` * means that you tried to delete the username you are currently logged in as. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Error When Deleting Admin Account that Created the Site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-deleting-admin-account-that-created-the-site/) * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-deleting-admin-account-that-created-the-site/#post-4188617) * Like [@leejosepho](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leejosepho/), I use Better WP Security to take care of most of that… * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Error When Deleting Admin Account that Created the Site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-deleting-admin-account-that-created-the-site/) * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-deleting-admin-account-that-created-the-site/#post-4188616) * You can’t delete yourself if you’re logged in as admin. * You’ll need to create a second admin account, then log out of your original admin account, login to the new one, and then delete your original admin account.
