    Wordpress 4.9.2 suggests to run on PHP 7.2. I upgraded Wordfence this morning and ran the PHP Compatibility check plugin on my site, and it came back with the below issues with Wordfence and PHP 7.2

    Can this be fixed?

  • Hi @jrthor2
    These referenced lines of the code are being used for backwards compatibility, I mean these are false-positive warnings, you don’t have to worry about that.

    I’m quoting this text from the PHP Compatibility Checker page:

    Please note that linting code is not perfect. This plugin cannot detect unused code-paths that might be used for backwards compatibility, and thus might show false positives. We maintain a whitelist of plugins that can cause false positives. We are continuously working to ensure the checker provides the most accurate results possible.

    Thanks.
