WordPress Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated /home/domainname/wordpress/wp-settings.php on line 512

when we have installed our wordpress we had old php version might be 4 or below php 5. as our server update php 4 to php 5 or more, this error start showing as our wordpress codes are php 4 compatible. so we have 2 options,

1, reinstall new fresh wordpress.

2. use below solution to avoid errors.

I think the better solution you can do the second one.

Solutions

You need to edit two php files,

domainname/wp-settings.php

search this code

if (defined(’WP_DEBUG’) and WP_DEBUG == true) {
error_reporting(E_ALL);
} else {
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE ^ E_USER_NOTICE);
}

Replace with

if (defined(’WP_DEBUG’) and WP_DEBUG == true) {
error_reporting(E_ALL);
} else {
error_reporting(0);
}

now the second file

domainname/wp-config.php

may sure keep a backup of these files before make any change, may be it can stop working your entire website

just add this code at top of this file

error_reporting(0);

save the file and check the website the error will be done.

It’s worked for me 🙂

In cpanel server WordPress upgrades will get you to permission issues most of the time. The easy solution is to configure wordpress with FTP login credentials. To get this done add following lines to wp-config.php file – assumed that WordPress installed under wordpress directory in public_html

define(‘FS_METHOD’, ‘ftpext’);
define(‘FTP_BASE’, ‘/public_html/wordpress/’);
define(‘FTP_CONTENT_DIR’, ‘/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/’);
define(‘FTP_PLUGIN_DIR ‘, ‘/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/’);
define(‘FTP_PUBKEY’, ‘/home/username/.ssh/id_rsa.pub’);
define(‘FTP_PRIKEY’, ‘/home/username/.ssh/id_rsa’);
define(‘FTP_USER’, ‘username’);
define(‘FTP_PASS’, ‘password’);
define(‘FTP_HOST’, ‘localhost’);
define(‘FTP_SSL’, false);

Where “username” is your cpanel account name and “password” is cpanel account password. Adding these lines will keep you away from prompting FTP username and password when you try upgrade.
