 * I made the following change to line 137 of the class.add-from-server.php of the
   plugin, and it worked.
 * “Original String”: $this->settings = new add_from_server_settings(&$this);
 * changed to this: $this->settings = new add_from_server_settings($this);
 * Only difference being the “&”.
 * The error I was receiving was:
 * Fatal error: Call-time pass-by-reference has been removed in /homepages/31/d451794017/
   htdocs/app/wp-content/plugins/Add-From-Server1/class.add-from-server.php on line
   137

 * Thanks. Same error. Your solution worked. Seemed to have something to do with
   my host changing to php5.4

 * I’ve updated the line of code, and activated the plugin – but now the line of
   code is crudely inserted as text on my WordPress Dashboard!!
 * What is up with this plugin?

 * On Line 137 replace it with $this->settings = new add_from_server_settings($this);(
   removing the & ) this will make it compatible with PHP 5.4 and get rid of the
   error and works wonders like previously suggested.
