 * All of the links that are typically shown in the admin of WP for Incoming Links
   and Plugins or Developer News are showing hundreds of warnings:
    Deprecated: 
   Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/muzocial/
   public_html/backstage/wp-includes/class-simplepie.php on line 738 They all look
   similar to this error with various lines being referenced but something is definitely
   not right here for being a fresh install using Softaculous in our hosts Cpanel!
   This is a new installation using the Genesis Framework and themes so not anything
   out of the ordinary. Can someone get me pointed in the right direction here please
   as I have never experienced a bad install of WP until now.

 * Try re-uploading all files & folders – **except** the wp-content folder – from
   a **fresh** download of WordPress.

 * Not sure what that is suppose to do as it is the compatibility of this version
   of simplepie that is causing the issue and being reported in all warnings that
   are appearing in the Dashboard..?

 * Well, I’m not getting the same warnings when running in debug mode on any of 
   my 3.2.1 installs so, for laughs, why not try a re-upload?

 * We did, with no effect! It’s the simplepie that is causing this as EVERY warning
   out of the hundreds of them that are being displayed anywhere a rss feed is suppose
   to be displaying for Incoming Links, Plugins or Developer news in the admin is
   showing the class.simplepie.php in the warning.

 * Well, you appear to be the only one that has this problem – so it’s something
   specific to your site (like an incomplete upgrade).
