When i tried to use PHP 7.1 my website is down.

Wow that does not look good. I’m using PHP 7.0.27, I do tend to upgrade when new PHP available, but I always run the compatibility checker. Will do so and return here with results. Thanks for the heads up.
I tried to scan Wordfence with the PHP Compatibility Checker set to scan for PHP 7.1 (from WPengine) and it skips scanning Wordfence because it’s “too large.” (Any tips on how to get the scan to work?)
But, it appears Compatibility Checker does generate false positives, perhaps try a test site using Wordfence and PHP 7.1, meanwhile it’ll be interesting to see what the Wordfence folks have to say about this.
Out of curiosity, having been burned before by plugin bloat, I checked sizes of Wordfence plugin folders on my systems:
Wordfence 6 folder is 7.62 MB
Wordfence 7 folder is 8.54 MBDisappointing, as in, what in the world are they doing that needs 13% bloat, perhaps all those additional tabs and the whitespace?
