PHP7 compatibility

    Hello 🙂

    I tried to add plugin compatibility for your plugin, but my test server runs PHP7.

    This caused the following error on activation:
    Fatal error: 'break' not in the 'loop' or 'switch' context in /..../wp-content/plugins/dw-question-answer/inc/actions.php on line 921

    The problem is is that the break; on line 921 is redundant. You can safely remove it.

    Other than that, the constructors are old-style and should be replace public function __construct() { }

    These are the cases I found:
    DWQA_Related_Question_Widget
    DWQA_Popular_Question_Widget
    DWQA_Latest_Question_Widget
    DWQA_Closed_Question_Widget

    These constructors will also output a deprecation notice through WordPress’ WP_Widget class since WP4.3.

    Hope this gets an update! 🙂

    Thanks and have a great day!

    Hi sergioxii,

    I’m not using this plugin, I was just testing its compatibility and found these issues.

    Nevertheless, you can safely use this plugin. Enabling WP_DEBUG on a production site isn’t recommended.

    @sergioxii, I have this working fine on PHP7.

    (I say “fine”: what I mean is that there are bugs, but they are not caused by PHP7. I and others have reported the bugs and the fixes in the forum, so you can implement them for yourself. The devs’ response seems to be to say “thanks” but not actually bring out an update to implement them for you.)
