 * I tested this plugin with “PHP Compatibility Checker” and it shows one error 
   coming from this file wp-content/plugins/block-bad-queries/block-bad-queries.
   php:
    `49 | ERROR | The behaviour of hexadecimal numeric strings was inconsistent
   prior to PHP 7 and support has been removed in PHP 7. Found: '0x3c62723e'`

 * Yes it works fine with PHP 7. There is a bug in the PHP Compatibility Checker.
   The string it is reporting is a false positive. The plugin uses that string as
   a pattern, not as a numeric hex string. The pattern is used to check if the string
   is included in any bad requests.
