 * Hey!
 * I just scanned this plugin with the “PHP Compatibility Checker” ([https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/php-compatibility-checker/](https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/php-compatibility-checker/)).
   
   In general the plugin is ready for PHP7. There is just one warning.

   what-the-file/what-the-file.php
    ——————————————————————————————————————————————————-
   FOUND 0 ERRORS AND 1 WARNING AFFECTING 1 LINE ——————————————————————————————————————————————————-
   303 | WARNING | Function name “__what_the_file_main” is discouraged; PHP has 
   reserved all method names with a double underscore prefix for future use ——————————————————————————————————————————————————-
 * Would be great if you could improve this.
 * Greetings

 * Hey,
 * Thanks for the heads up! I’ll look into patching this soon. As far as I know 
   this can’t cause any issues yet on PHP7 so you can keep using it for now! 🙂

 * Hey!
 * The plugin doesn’t break on PHP 7, but I always get a notcie in my php logs.
   
   Would love to see an update to remove the notice.
