 * Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /
   wp/wp-includes/class-simplepie.php on line 738
 * Replacing every =& with =
    a fatal error kicks in:
 * $this->data = $this->data[‘child’][end($this->namespace)][end($this->element)][];
 * line 14567
 * Back to the deprecated errors, but hoping for a fix in the next version

 * Don’t edit core code! The issue is probably with one of your plugins or your 
   theme.
