 * After activating PHP 7 I cannot use the plugin wpMandrill anymore because I get
   this error fatal error message:
 * [http://cl.ly/0I0X2a1v2T1X](http://cl.ly/0I0X2a1v2T1X)
 * It seems to evolve around the PHP code “magic quotes” has been deprecated and
   was finally removed in PHP 7: [http://php.net/manual/de/security.magicquotes.php](http://php.net/manual/de/security.magicquotes.php)
 * Can anyone help? I am not a developer, but maybe there is a quick fix around 
   this problem. Is Mailchimp reading this forum?
 * Thanks a lot!

 * Any updates on this?
 * Looks like currently the plug-in is not usable with PHP 7 for this reason.

 * I emailed Mandrill about this and they said the plugin is no longer supported.
   Here’s the full response:
 * > The wpMandrill plugin is no longer supported, so it will not be upgraded any
   > longer. You should be able to use any plugin that allows you to use your Mandrill
   > STMP information though. If you have any other questions, please let us know.
 * So switching to something like “Easy WP SMTP” would probably be best.
