We use CM Answers Pro and CM Answers Anonymous in our enterprise WordPress multi-site instance. PHP 5x is end of life and will now longer be supported after December 31st. That means no more updates, no more security patches, no more assistance when issues are discovered.when a piece of software reaches end of life, and is still widely used, that software becomes a prime target for bad actors. I used PHP Compatibility checker plugin to scan our site. While CM Answers Pro shows as compatible (with warnings) see below –

Could you please advise me on the status oh PHP compatibility for these plugins? If they are not yet compatible, is it on your road map? It would be a real pain to try and find a replacement plugin that is compatible due to the number of subsites that would require modification.

Please advise.

Thanks

Could you please advise me on the status of PHP 7.2 compatibility? I see you stated in our previous conversation that you will release a new version before 12/31/2018, but I do not see where a new version was released in over 1 month. We are using CM Answers Pro as well as CM Answers Anonymous Posting. It is active on a number of our blog sites and we are getting ready to upgrade PHP from 5.6 to 7.2. I need to know how this will impact the plugin before we proceed. Otherwise we’ll have to delete the plugin and find another solution. Please advise on the compatibility of your plugin with PHP 7.2.

Specifically, these are the errors we are seeing when performing a PHP7.2 compatibility check.
