Title: Plugin Issue Last modified: April 5, 2019 --- # Plugin Issue * [eric401](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eric401/) * (@eric401) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-issue-please-help/) * Hello, * I recently upgraded my php version to 7.3. Everything works great except for that I just realized my plugins dont work. When I click any of them such as Yoast or Custom Permalinks or Ready SSL, Mailchimp for WP (all very common plugins), I just get a 500 error. * It works perfectly fine when I switch it back to php 5.3 but i do not want to go that route. * I tried a bunch of troubleshooting including disabling/reenabling the plugins, etc. * Any help would be greatly appreciated! * Thank you Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) * [Joy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joyously/) * (@joyously) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-issue-please-help/#post-11397753) * Most of the well-known plugins are compatible with PHP 7+. Try installing [PHP Compatibility Checker](https://wordpress.org/plugins/php-compatibility-checker/), so you can get specifics about what is amiss. * Thread Starter [eric401](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eric401/) * (@eric401) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-issue-please-help/#post-11397769) * Thanks, Joy. I did that but when i click on “start scan” i get the same thing, 500 error. * I did change debug to true in wp-config and got these errors but i have no idea how to resolve them: * Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; WooThemes_Shortcode_Generator has a deprecated constructor in /home/xg1u6w994rcg/public_html/wp-content/themes/swatch/functions/admin-shortcode- generator.php on line 33 * Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; Woo_Widget_WooTabs has a deprecated constructor in/ home/xg1u6w994rcg/public_html/wp-content/themes/swatch/includes/widgets/widget- woo-tabs.php on line 24 * Deprecated: Function create_function() is deprecated in /home/xg1u6w994rcg/public_html/ wp-content/themes/swatch/includes/widgets/widget-woo-tabs.php on line 235 * Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; Woo_AdWidget has a deprecated constructor in /home/ xg1u6w994rcg/public_html/wp-content/themes/swatch/includes/widgets/widget-woo- adspace.php on line 6 * Notice: The called constructor method for WP_Widget in Woo_AdWidget is deprecated since version 4.3.0!

You should run it on the old, so you can find replacements for your plugins. Given the errors shown, you have some old plugins that are doing things that have been deprecated( it’s still in the new PHP, but won’t be for long). The error at the end is the real problem, though, and it’s your theme, which shouldn’t be using a mysql specific function. Either fix that or switch themes and then find plugin replacements.
