   no problems with 5.7.1):

 * I should also mention that it’s impossible to reinstall with 5.8/5.9 as well –
   it keeps telling me it can’t write to the required files when it actually can,
   and even manually editing them doesn’t work. Once again, I could reinstall with
   5.7.1 no problems (thanks goodness!).

 * Given that 5.8/5.9 have fixes for PHP7, I think it might be worth mentioning 
   that I’m running PHP5.3 – perhaps some backward compatibility was broken.
 * I should also mention that the line 2232 warnings were with Super Cache 5.9, 
   and the line 1070 warnings were with 5.8.

 * Same problem here. Is there any fix?

 * I have just tried the 1.5.10 development version, and it still has the same problems.
   I have found that if I set it up in 1.5.7.1 and then not change my settings (
   including not deactivating on update) there aren’t any problems, but as soon 
   as I update the settings in 1.5.8 or later, these problems return.
