Plugin Not Compatible With PHP 7.2

Hi,
Those warnings are for whois library (which is a third party library not maintained by us).
This will not affect the other more important functional parts of the plugin.

I will check whether that library has any updates for PHP7.x and if it doesn’t then I think I will remove that feature because it has limited value since you can easily do a whois lookup online.

I think that’s actually a great idea. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t just go to whois.com. I didn’t even realize your plugin did that. lol

wrong support
sorry

After updating to most recent version it works very well with php 5.6, but upon running compatibility of the plugin with php 7.2. i got the following warnings. please let me know how I could fix them, especially I am not very well versed in php.
thank you.

This plugin is excellent and it is unfortunate that it is not updated to php 7.2.
From the errors above, for someone who is adept at php 7.2, it would take him/her half an our to update the plugin and put back in the lead of security plugins.

Anyone out there who can help would be very much appreciated?

Hi @andyrogers,
As mentioned previously, those warnings pertain to the third party library (created and maintained by somebody else) which is used for the “whois” feature.
I will be removing that feature because it adds no significant value and you can always perform a whois lookup easily online.

please remove it as soon as possible because it is affecting the functionality of wordpress websites at some service providers where they stopped supporting php 5.6.

Thank you for your good work. It is very much appreciated. ??

Hi @wpsolutions

Thanks for a great plugin.

I just ran an update for it today and am still seeing the errors indicated above.

Can you estimate a time frame when we might see the whois functionality removed? I’ll know to check after that time and will stop bugging you.

Thanks again!

Bruce

Hi Bruce,
I will do another update within the next day or two in which the whois feature will have been removed.
