Version 1.6.38 now requires higher than PHP 7.3?

    The new 1.6.38 version of this plugin no longer works with PHP 7.3 (and presumably lower versions too?). I’m seeing this fatal error in the logs with PHP 7.3 and version 1.6.38:

    PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘string’ (T_STRING), expecting function (T_FUNCTION) or const (T_CONST) in …/wp-content/plugins/header-footer-elementor/inc/class-hfe-update.php on line 32′

    Line 32 changed in 1.6.38 to add a “string” keyword:

    private string $db_option_key = ‘_hfe_db_version’;

    I suspect this might require PHP 7.4 (or even higher? I haven’t tested > 7.3 myself), though the plugin’s www.ads-software.com page and readme.txt both claim that PHP 5.4+ should work.

    Hello,

    Thanks for reaching out!

    Since HFE is based on the Elementor plugin, and WordPress itself requires PHP version 7.4 or higher, we recommend updating your PHP version to 7.4 or above to avoid these issues and ensure everything works smoothly.
    We apologize for the mismatch in the readme file regarding the PHP version requirement. We’ll get this updated soon.

    Best regards
