3.8.9 - Cant create new threads

[mrdon]

I am running 3.8.9 and PHP 5.5, and can't see to create any new threads. When I try I get a blank page with a 500 error.

I have disabled all plugins and tried creating a new thread with the default theme and I still get the same error.

Looking at the logs, the only errors I see are:

[18-Nov-2016 00:47:39 UTC] PHP Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/user/public_html/global.php(607) : eval()'d code on line 1570

What method did you use to disable addons?

[Paul M]

The reason Mark is asking you that is that the first error clearly shows plugins are not disabled.

[mrdon]

I disabled them one by one.

Please try the following:

1. To disable the plugin/hook system completely, edit includes/config.php and add the following code:
Just below

<?php

enter

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

2. Now go to AdminCP > Style Manager
and create a new style with no parent.
Now browse your forum using this new style.

Do you still have the same problem?
