NextGEN Gallery is running ok but I’ve been advised (by Yoast SEO) that the version of PHP running on my website is no longer supported and that I should upgrade to either 5.6, 7.0 or 7.1. * I want to avoid getting an issue by checking to see if my plugins support php 7.0 before asking my hosting provider to upgrade php. To do this I used the _PHP Compatibility Checker_ plugin (same method as [@osser](https://wordpress.org/support/users/osser/) and [@stephg40122](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stephg40122/)) and hit the same potential issue as them. * Plugin Contributor [Imagely](https://wordpress.org/support/users/imagely/) * (@imagely) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/is-nextgen-gallery-php7-compatible/#post-9333791) * Our PHP 7.0.x compatibility is fine as far as we are seeing with all of our testing. * – Cais. * [hendosdad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hendosdad/) * (@hendosdad) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/is-nextgen-gallery-php7-compatible/#post-9334623) * Thank you [@imagely](https://wordpress.org/support/users/imagely/) for your reply.
