    Hi folks.

    My provider switched to php Version 7.2 and my site went totally down.
    Switching back to 7.0 brought it back on.
    I installed “PHP Compatibility Checker” and it gave me a red warning on ip geo block (see below).

    Question: Do I have to uninstall it?
    Are there any updates coming?
    I’m not a programmer, just user ??

    greetings from Germany,
    Marcus

    Hi @kradblatt,

    I’m sorry about your situation. But all the warnings and errors you reported here are related to the fallback functions for PHP 5.x.

    PHP 5.x support for random_bytes() and random_int()

    Those will not be executed on PHP 7.0+. And I have confirmed that this plugin will work with PHP 5.2 through 7.2.

    So you don’t have to uninstall this plugin.

    WP core also includes the same functions (but a little bit old). So I will adopt them instead of new ones in this plugin to prevent users from worrying about.

    Thanks for your reporting!
