So we can’t give you any guarantee regarding this. * If you feel adventurous, you can go ahead upgrade to PHP 7. WP RSS Aggregator is built to follow PHP standard and latest convention, so there shouldn’t be any critical problems. * But should you find any issues, please report it back to us [here](https://www.wprssaggregator.com/contact/). We’ll be happy to help you the best we can, as supporting PHP 7 lies indeed on our roadmap. * Hope this explains. * [jeffmace](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeffmace/) * (@jeffmace) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-7-compatible-6/#post-7656421) * I ran the PHP compatibility checker by WPEngine [https://wordpress.org/plugins/php-compatibility-checker/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/php-compatibility-checker/) * And it did fail their php 7 test. Hopefully this is something that could be looked into soon. I love this plugin and looking to go to 7 in the near future. Just starting to do my homework on what passes and doesn’t. * `FILE: /wp-rss-aggregator/includes/system-info.php ——————————————————————————————————————————————- FOUND 3 ERRORS AFFECTING 3 LINES ——————————————————————————————————————————————- 81 | ERROR | INI directive ‘safe_mode’ is deprecated from PHP 5.3 and forbidden from PHP 5.4. 244 | ERROR | Extension ‘mysql_’ is deprecated since PHP 5.5 and deprecated since PHP 5.6 and removed since PHP 7.0 – use mysqli instead. 246 | ERROR | Extension ‘mysql_’ is deprecated since PHP 5.5 and deprecated since PHP 5.6 and removed since PHP 7.0 – use mysqli instead. ——————————————————————————————————————————————- * FILE: /wp-rss-aggregator/includes/libraries/browser.php ——————————————————————————————————————– FOUND 1 ERROR AFFECTING 1 LINE ——————————————————————————————————————– 1065 | ERROR | Deprecated PHP4 style constructor are not supported since PHP7 ——————————————————————————————————————– * FILE: /wp-rss-aggregator/includes/libraries/php-markdown/markdown.php ———————————————————————————————————————————- FOUND 4 ERRORS AFFECTING 4 LINES ———————————————————————————————————————————- 1666 | ERROR | Deprecated PHP4 style constructor are not supported since PHP7 2271 | ERROR | Using a call-time pass-by-reference is prohibited since php 5.4 2277 | ERROR | Using a call-time pass-by-reference is prohibited since php 5.4 2828 | ERROR | Deprecated PHP4 style constructor are not supported since PHP7———————————————————————————————————————————- * FILE: /wp-rss-aggregator/includes/feed-access.php ————————————————————————————————————– FOUND 1 ERROR AFFECTING 1 LINE ————————————————————————————————————– 261 | ERROR | INI directive ‘safe_mode’ is deprecated from PHP 5.3 and forbidden from PHP 5.4. ————————————————————————————————————– * FILE: /wp-rss-feed-to-post/includes/wprss-ftp-utils.php ——————————————————————————————————————– FOUND 1 ERROR AFFECTING 1 LINE ——————————————————————————————————————– 155 | ERROR | preg_replace() – /e modifier is forbidden in PHP 7.0 ——————————————————————————————————————– * Thread Starter [eric2016](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eric2016/) * (@eric2016) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-7-compatible-6/#post-7656422) * Hi Eric Gunawan, * It’s important for you guys to make sure it is compatible because WordPress will bump recommended PHP version from 5.6 to 7.0 by the middle of 2017. * [Eric Gunawan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erricgunawan/) * (@erricgunawan) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-7-compatible-6/#post-7656424) * Hi jeffmace, * We’re really thank you for running this test. We’ll make sure to bring this result to our developers. * And thanks Eric for noticing about the PHP recommendation for WordPress in the near future. * For both of you, if you have more to discuss regarding this PHP 7 compatibility( i.e. urgent request, quick fix, etc.), you are free to open a [premium support ticket](https://www.wprssaggregator.com/contact/). * We’ll be happy to accept any feedbacks for this matter. * Thanks again for both of you, jeffmace and Eric. * [rbutterworth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rbutterworth/) * (@rbutterworth) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-7-compatible-6/#post-8251053) * Ubuntu 16.04 uses PHP7.0 by default, and Ubuntu 14 is no longer supported, so I’ve had to upgrade. Now I get no new feed items, which I suspect is due to the lack of PHP7.0 support. * How do we go about getting this fixed? * [Eric Gunawan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erricgunawan/) * (@erricgunawan) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-7-compatible-6/#post-8270229) * Hi [@rbutterworth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rbutterworth/), * PHP 7 supports for WP RSS Aggregator is currently under development and planned for a future update although we have no time-frame on its planning as yet. * If you have any error logs regarding PHP 7 supports, please don’t hesitate to send it to us [here](https://www.wprssaggregator.com/contact/).

Should you encounter any issues regarding the works of our plugins while you’re testing it, please don’t hesitate to let us know. * [Eric Gunawan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erricgunawan/) * (@erricgunawan) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-7-compatible-6/#post-9027491) * Hi [@eric2016](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eric2016/), [@jeffmace](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeffmace/), [@rbutterworth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rbutterworth/), [@plumski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/plumski/), [@sapu78](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sapu78/), [@sampohaavisto](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sampohaavisto/), [@planetregin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/planetregin/), [@turansadrigmailcom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/turansadrigmailcom/), and all those who happen to arrive at here, * We’d like to inform you that we have run tests for the current version of WP RSS Aggregator (4.11.1) on PHP 5.6 and 7.x. * So far, we have found no major compatibility issues. There are no major plugin breaking issues and no visible breakages to the functionality with both PHP 5.6 and 7.x * However, should you encounter one while setting up or using our Core plugin in the said platforms, we welcome any feedback you may have. * Thanks again for staying with us and always using the latest version of WP RSS Aggregator.
