Im so thankfull for a forum like this, what a great forum and I will most-likely use it as I am in the (very) beginning stages of learning php.
I need some help, serious help
I am a web developer for my company and I look after all their websites. (Joomla, Drupal, Wordpress etc) After the php upgrade a couple of weeks ago lilā old me am sitting with enormous issues with all of my websites.
The site I need help from a php developer is called www.blog.topplaces.co.za (Wordpress) Im not much of a Wordpress fundi, but I have tried numerous things to try get rid of the error messages in the backend of my site, which is:

ā¦this error carries on over a few 100 linesā¦I have tried installing the plugin called āLog Deprecated Noticesā which shows where these errors are, and how to ārename themā I have done thisā¦but only come up with more errors in the FRONT END of my site.
Is there ANYONE who can spare some time on helping a girl out pleaseā¦?
First thing to try is to get the latest version of simplepie and update your installation to that -chances are they have fixed the deprecation errors. http://simplepie.org/development/
I have managed to upload the plugin with the core - had to adjust some cache folders to workā¦installed WP-Super cache to make it work and deleted some other cache pluginā¦phewā¦
Things are looking ok, there are no errors in the front-site, but in the backend still the following. I have left all settings default in SimplePie - should I??? Why am I getting these errors: in

You must be careful before upgrading the PHP version or stay up to date with the applications/scripts that you have used like WP, Joomla, etc. So just upgrading PHP is not good enough, you can hide the errors but it will harm your site/server by logging the error/warnings in a file internally. So I would recommend to upgrade WP to latest version if possible which does not have this deprecated problem. Otherwise if you just want suppress the warnings/notices and, etc. you can use your own error handler. See some examples here http://www.php.net/set_error_handler.
