XAMPP on local machine, here is one line of several that appear at top of bbpress login page after installation was apparently completed successfully.

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:xampphtdocsbbpressbbpressbb-settings.php on line 186

and when I try to log in a bunch more error messages. XAMPP works fine with wordpress by the way.

Thanks, Roger

Somewhere around line 25 of bb-load.php there should be a line that starts with error_reporting(. Change it to error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE | E_USER_ERROR | E_USER_WARNING);

(This has been fixed in the development version, but I don’t suggest using it on a live site)

Worked great. Thanks for the prompt reply.

Do you mean that you do not recommend using the “development version” on a live site?

Is this version OK for a live site with the fix you identified?

[Ben L.]

I don’t suggest using the development version on a live site because it isn’t as “tried and true” as the released versions.

The snippet is fine to use on a live site.

This is the proper fix for PHP 5.3

In bb-load.php, replace:

error_reporting( E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE );

With:

if (!defined(‘E_DEPRECATED’))

{

define(‘E_DEPRECATED’, 8192);

}

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED);
