Warning: Parameter 1 to [name of the plugin] Cache::[function name]()

After switching to PHP 7 you may find one or more warnings on your WordPress pages in this pattern:

Warning: Parameter 1 to [plugin name]::[function name]() expected to be a reference, value given in [absolute path to/wp-includes/functions.php on line [number]

Fixing is easy. Just go to your plugin and search/find the first [function name] – see above. This may lock like this:

function [function name](&$buffer) {

…now delete the „&“

function [function name]($buffer) {

Done :-)

PS: Of course this is only quick&dirty to make the website run. Don’t forget to inform the plugin author(s)!
