 * This plugin (just like the original Link Indicator) doesn’t work with PHP7. The
   problem is this:
 * `PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function eregi_replace() 
   in /var/www/public/blog/wp-content/plugins/extlnk/extlnk.php:2177`
 * eregi_replace() was removed in PHP7:
 * [https://secure.php.net/manual/en/function.eregi-replace.php](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/function.eregi-replace.php)
 * I tried just using preg_replace, but that didn’t work either.

 * I got the plugin working by changing this line:
 * `$final_stuff = eregi_replace('[:space:](http://codex.wordpress.org/:space:)+','',
   $final_stuff);`
 * to this:
 * `$final_stuff = preg_replace('/[:space:](http://codex.wordpress.org/:space:)+/','',
   $final_stuff);`
