And the plugin works like a charm again. * [peter_quinn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peter_quinn/) * (@peter_quinn) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-plugin-doesnt-work-on-php-version-7/#post-8161774) * [@ditler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ditler/)’s solution worked for me. However, I also needed to replace `=& new` with `= new` in includes/manager. php. * [naufal66262](https://wordpress.org/support/users/naufal66262/) * (@naufal66262) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-plugin-doesnt-work-on-php-version-7/#post-8167900) * thx * [Fabian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carmano/) * (@carmano) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-plugin-doesnt-work-on-php-version-7/#post-8229965) * I will do the manual fix, but it will be great to have a new official version of this plugin!
