Incompatible with PHP 5.6

    The conditional fields module has become incompatible with php version 5.6 due to today’s release of version 1.9.15.
    I know the minimum recommended php version for WordPress is 7.4, but one of my projects is still running on 5.6.
    I have updated manually the wpcf7cf-options.php file. On line 291 there is a ternary operator which is not compatible with old php.
    This is not a request, and it is not absolutely necessary to fix it, I can live with it (I turned off the automatic updates of the module), I just wanted to let you know.

    Otherwise If it is not fixed, please update the plugin page where version 5.6 or higher is described.

    Good call, thanks for letting me know. I think I’ll update the minimum PHP version.
    I discovered some cool PHP 7 features recently, and have gotten used to the ?? operator. It makes coding so much more convenient, so even if I revert that back to if-isset now, I will probably reuse it unintentionally again for a next update.

    Thanks for the reply.
    Oh, it was not ternary but a null coalescing operator, I wrote wrong.
    I also use it regularly too. 🙂

    @pauger Hi, I have the same problem as you. Can you send the full manual change you made to line 291. I’m not a developer but just a graphic designer, so not very good at php code! : s thank you

    Hi @onepresto!

    Just replace the line 291 in the file
    wp-content/plugins/cf7-conditional-fields/wpcf7cf-options.php

    from
    $notice_id = sanitize_text_field($_POST['noticeId'] ?? '');
    to

    $notice_id = (isset($_POST['noticeId'])) ? sanitize_text_field($_POST['noticeId']) : '';

    The last function (290-297) shoud be

    function wpcf7cf_dismiss_notice() {
    $notice_id = (isset($_POST['noticeId'])) ? sanitize_text_field($_POST['noticeId']) : '';
    $notice_suffix = $notice_id ? '_'.$notice_id : $notice_id;

    $settings = wpcf7cf_get_settings();
    $settings['notice_dismissed'.$notice_suffix] = true;
    wpcf7cf_set_options($settings);
}
