 * I love the plugin and have used it on several sites, but I’m looking at upgrading
   to PHP7.
 * Is the Social Media Widget plugin compatible with PHP7? If not, are there plans
   to make it compatible?
 * The WP Engine PHP Compatibility Checker plugin reports it as not being compatible,
   but it is prone to false positives.
 *     ```
