Thanks again for the reply – I’ll mark plugin as probably compatible. Hopefully, I’ll get no issues and I’ll let you know if anything crops up.

Kind Regards

Hi Edward,

Thanks for the quick reply. I intend initially to upgrade our php from current version 7.0.28 to version 7.1. You think I should have no issues with your plugin? It is indeed ‘lighter’ compared to a couple of other plugins I must check before upgrading, so can I mark you plugin as compatible ? ??

Kind Regards

Hi,

I would also like a definitive answer on this. I would like to upgrade to php 7.2 or at least 7.1 At the moment a couple of plugins are preventing me from doing this.

Report from compatibility checker gives the following for W3TC:

Hi,

At present I am running our WordPress site on php 7.0.28. The GMailSMTP plugin has been working with no problems, but I wish to upgrade to php 7.2 or at least php 7.1. When I run the ‘PHP Compatibility Checker’ (by WPengine) I too receive a report with many warnings and errors for GmailSMTP plugin. Would the author please confirm that the plugin will work under php 7.1/7.2?

Many thanks in advance

Thanks Simon,

I’ll take a look

Hi Barry,

Thank you for the very quick response and the information.
Much appreciated.

Kind regards
