    The plugin shows as incompatible with php 7 when checking with the PHP Compatibility Checker plugin. The error is “FOUND 1 ERROR AFFECTING 1 LINE
    ————————————————————————————————————————
    48 | ERROR | Using ‘break’ outside of a loop or switch structure is invalid and will throw a fatal error since PHP 7.0”.

    I have been getting fata php errors with the plugin activated and it goes away when I deactivate. I’m on WordPress 5.03.

    Hi, the compatibility checker erroneously thinks that the plugin is incompatible with PHP 7.

    The PHP fatal errors are probably not related to this. What are the errors?

    Thanks for the reply. I was getting the error when using php 5.6 and ran the compatibility checker before I updated to php 7.2. After I updated, the debug log was replaced, so I can’t give you the exact error, but it was something like “Fatal error. Unknown: Cannot use output buffering in output buffering display handlers in Unknown on line 0.” It was right after a php memory allocation error.

    However, since I’ve actually changed to php 7.2, the plugin works fine.

    Hi,

    Same thing for me.

    For you info,

    I ran the “PHP Compatibility Checker” plugin and here is the error, according to this plugin :

    48 | ERROR | Using ‘break’ outside of a loop or switch structure is invalid and will throw a fatal error since PHP 7.0

    Is it something to fix? Or not a real error?

    Thank you,

    Robert

    Here
    Here’s what the plugin author said “the compatibility checker erroneously thinks that the plugin is incompatible with PHP 7.”

    Seems to be true as I am using the plugin without a fatal error.

    Thank you, Nickolas and Bob, for your answer.

    Then I will use this plugin with “peace of mind” with PHP 7.2

    And a big thanks, Nickolas, for this nice and convenient plugin!
