I would like to upgrade to php version 7.3 on our ISP. I made a dry-run check of compatibility issues with all of our plugins and unfortunately, yours is one of them. From the report I produced it shows this… Should we be concerned with upgrading php?

Thanks and good job

The requirements on the Yith plugin site says it is compatible with 7.2 or higher. However, my SiteGround server’s compatibility scan prior to updating the PHP detected that it was not, citing the following. I’m not sure if the errors mentioned actually fix the issues as they are stated. Can you please let me know. Thank you:

Unfortunately, YITH WooCommerce Wishlist plugin is not compatible with our recommended 7.3 PHP version

I definitely need to sort this out. Suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

I am testing the free version of your plugin and it is providing me what I was looking for; huge thanks for your plugin, then !

I am also looking to switch to PHP 7.3 but the plugin PHP Compatibility checker is flagging error below:

29 | ERROR | “$this” can no longer be used in a plain function or method since PHP 7.1.

Does you plugin supports PHP 7.3 ?

Thanks for your help !

PHP Warning: “continue” targeting switch is equivalent to “break”. Did you mean to use “continue 2”

Replacing the continue statement by “continue 2” solves this. This seems correct as there is a switch inside a loop.
