PHP 7 Compatibility

  • Hey there,

    So, this plugin hasn’t been updated in a couple of years, but I have it working on two of my sites…that is until yesterday. Yesterday I updated my server to PHP 7 and noticed that I had two sites go down. As I was looking through the error logs, the error logs only mentioned wordpress-hit-counter:

    [22-Jul-2016 15:47:27 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function split() in /home/joshrodg/public_html/halloffame/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-hit-counter/image.php:66

    I took a look and found this post: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/php7-incompatibility-uncaught-error-undefined-function-split?replies=2

    wordpress-hit-counter has two main files: hitcounter_menu.php and image.php…I just did a find and replace…finding split and replacing with explode. After making the change, everything returned to normal and my sites came back up!

    I don’t normally like editing plugin files directly, but because the code hasn’t been updated in two years, I’m pretty sure it’s no longer being actively maintained by it’s author…and…there are literally only two files that need to be adjusted.

    I hope this helps someone out there!

    Thanks,
    Josh
