In reply to: Cannot update to php 5.4 due to my discontinued themeUPDATE:
I can finally update my websites to the latest php with my old theme.
After searching everywhere online for a solution, a forum said that I had to edit the php code, which terrified me because I didn’t know zip about coding stuff and was afraid to screw up my websites. So I had to take the plunge, no other choice.
Whenever I tried to upgrade my websites to php 5.4+, I got the message:
“Fatal error: Call-time pass-by-reference has been removed public_html/mywebsite.com/wp-content/themes/AffiliateTheme2/inc/class-skins.php in line 256”.
So I went into Cpanel > File Manager > public_html > mywebsite.com > themes > AffiliateTheme2 > inc > highlight “class-skins” > download a backup and put it in a folder in the external drive > code edit > scroll down to line 256 and saw:
256: $this->check_image_path(&$config_file_skin);
According to that helpful forum who knew their php mierda, I would have to delete the “&” so it became:
$this->check_image_path($config_file_skin);
So I
switch to text editor > deleted the “&” > save > prayed to the tech gods > updated my website as high as php 5.6 as allowed by Hostgator and then…
SUCCESS!!!! It worked!
Ah man… The personal satisfaction, so proud of myself! I thought I would have to pay someone to fix that.
I hope this will help other people in the future.
Yay me!

In reply to: Cannot update to php 5.4 due to my discontinued themePHP7 is not available yet when I look into my cpanel. Only goes to 5.6. I’d love to upgrade to its highest.
Oh man, it looks that I’m seriously screwed with my old, discontinued theme. I probably have to take a serious financial plunge with an upgrade.
Thanks!
