 * Hi,
 * I’m currently preparing my WordPress website for PHP 7.3, and the PHP Compatibility
   Checker plugin has detected the following warning in your plugin file :
 * FILE: shiftnav-responsive-mobile-menu/admin/settings-api.class.php
    LINE 121 
   | WARNING | Function create_function() is deprecated since PHP 7.2; Use an anonymous
   function instead
 * Will this be fixed in the next version?

 * Yes, that is planned in the next update – thanks!
 * If you need an immediate fix, you can replace admin/settings-api.class.php line
   121
 * `$callback = create_function('', 'echo "'.str_replace('"', '\"', $section['desc']).'";');`
 * with
 *     ```
       $callback = function() use ( $section ){
       	echo str_replace('"', '\"', $section['desc']);
       };
       ```
   
 * 🙂
