Title: [Plugin: Client Status] PHP Warnings destroy XML Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Client Status] PHP Warnings destroy XML * [Knut Sparhell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/knutsp/) * (@knutsp) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-client-status-php-warnings-destroy-xml/) * In `data.php` the XML PI is echoed before `plugins.ph`p is required. This will generate a warning when others plugins try something like session_start or to set headers. * Please move this echo line to below the require_once statements. There must be no output before loading WP core. * May be also set PHP display_errors false to ensure the XML is not polluted with any warnings or errors coming from other plugins that should be irrelevant to producing the XML. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/client-status/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/client-status/) Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * Plugin Author [ericjuden](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericjuden/) * (@ericjuden) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-client-status-php-warnings-destroy-xml/#post-2933383) * Thanks, I’ve added ini_set(“display_errors”, 0) as the first line in the xml file. * Eric * Plugin Author [ericjuden](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericjuden/) * (@ericjuden) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-client-status-php-warnings-destroy-xml/#post-2933384) * Knut, * If you are interested in how 1.4 is coming, you can check out what I have here: [http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/client-status/tags/1.4_BETA](http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/client-status/tags/1.4_BETA) * It is usable, but I’m still trying to figure out the client updates from the dashboard site. If the site has more than 3 updates, it finishes 3 and leaves the site in maintenance mode. * Eric * Thread Starter [Knut Sparhell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/knutsp/) * (@knutsp) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-client-status-php-warnings-destroy-xml/#post-2933385) * Thank you! Testing it …. * Tried to install it in folder `beta-client-status` just to see that you have hard coded all the paths. * Please see [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/plugin_dir_path](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/plugin_dir_path) and also [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/admin_url](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/admin_url) will probably be handy. * Replaced all occurrences of `client-status` with `beta-client-status` in `constants. php` and go on … * Fatal error: Call-time pass-by-reference has been removed in PHP 5.4 (Deprecated since PHP 5.3). Many places where functions are called with the `&` operator as parameter prefix. * Fixed all occurrences and now it activates and looks just fine. Will take a closer look later. * Thread Starter [Knut Sparhell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/knutsp/) * (@knutsp) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-client-status-php-warnings-destroy-xml/#post-2933386) * When I have activated the beta on a client, the server installation refuses to show any status, saying “You must enter a site URL to retrieve data”. But I have a site URL for the client, of course. Strange, since the beta actually retrieves all the statuses when the client runs version 1.3.3 (except for the new status XML-RPC on/off, as expected). * I could contribute by writing tickets on Trac, but it seems I need to add a component keyword, like `client-status` to address this plugin? * Plugin Author [ericjuden](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericjuden/) * (@ericjuden) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-client-status-php-warnings-destroy-xml/#post-2933389) * Thanks for the feedback. I’ll work on the hard coded paths and the call-time pass-by-reference errors. * As for Trac, I’m fairly certain that is only for core. Best thing for now would be to keep posting in the forums. * Eric * Thread Starter [Knut Sparhell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/knutsp/) * (@knutsp) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-client-status-php-warnings-destroy-xml/#post-2933537) * Do you plan to update this plugin? * Plugin Author [ericjuden](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericjuden/) * (@ericjuden) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-client-status-php-warnings-destroy-xml/#post-2933538) * Knut, * I have not had any time to commit to this project in a while. I’m sorry for that.
