Plug-In crashed at settings page

    I loaded and activated the plugin twice, and each time, when I clicked on the Settings for SFS I got this response:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function boolval() in /home2/planetpe/public_html/wp/wp-content/plugins/simple-feed-stats/simple-feed-stats.php on line 990

    It’s so catastrophic that I assume my setup might be responsible. Any ideas what plugins might be affecting it?

    It just means that you’re probably using an older version of PHP (less than 5.5) which does not support the boolval() function:

    https://php.net/manual/en/function.boolval.php

    What version PHP are using? (If unsure you can ask your web host)

    It’s hostgator and they use according to cPanel 5.4.45.

    Thanks for replying.

    Yep that explains it. Although PHP 5.4 is considered ancient, it still is supported by WordPress:

    As you can see there, it is recommended that you upgrade your setup going forward.

    Nevertheless, I have added this issue to the to-do list for the next update. Should be able to add a boolval() fallback for older PHP versions.

    Thanks for reporting.

    Just to follow up with this, this is fixed in the next version of the plugin ??

    Just downloaded the updated plug-in and it’s working fine. I’m looking forward to seeing what it does. I’m already impressed with the multiple help buttons on the settings page. I wish more plug-in designers would use this to help us non-designers / programmers understand what they do!
