Hello there Kevin,
hope you’re doing well today and thanks for reaching us! 🙂
As you can also see in HummingBird’s changelog here:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/hummingbird-performance/#developers
1.7.2 ( 2018-02-06 )
…
Enhance: PHP 7.2 compatibility
…
I’m also testing it in a live server using even PHP 7.2 and 7.3 and everything is working good. Feel free to grab a complete backup (all files and database) and carry on with the update.
Warm regards,
Dimitris

Really appreciate the super fast response! Here is the “error message”. I’m not technical so not sure what this means. Still ok to proceed forward?

@blarney27,
Hummingbird supports PHP version from 5.2 to 7.3. That means that the function name that are used in PHP 5.2 will still be present in the code for backward compatibility. So, yes, it is safe to upgrade.
Best regards,
Anton
