This extension is [enabled by default](http://php.net/manual/en/xml.installation.php). So it should be there unless removed intentionally. You should check that with your host provider. * [Gwyneth Llewelyn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gwynethllewelyn/) * (@gwynethllewelyn) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/incompatible-with-php70/#post-7355049) * I wonder if the strange error I get (only on the backoffice): * `Uncaught Error: Call to a member function translate() on null in /path.to.my. wordpress.installation/wp-includes/l10n.php` * is also somehow related to PHP 7.0? Note that I’m using a beta version of WordPress, so maybe this is the real cause of that error… * Plugin Author [Chouby](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chouby/) * (@chouby) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/incompatible-with-php70/#post-7355066) * [@tiagogoncalves](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tiagogoncalves/) * I found this: [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35593521/php-7-simplexml](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35593521/php-7-simplexml) which looks similar and seems specific to Ubuntu. * [@gwynethllewelyn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gwynethllewelyn/) * I don’t think PHP7 is the cause of your issue. You should try with a default theme and without plugins to see if your problem is still there. * Thread Starter [tiago](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tiagogoncalves/) * (@tiagogoncalves) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/incompatible-with-php70/#post-7355076) * on my server after running `php -m` I got: * ``` [PHP Modules] calendar Core ctype date exif fileinfo filter ftp gettext hash iconv json libxml mysqli mysqlnd openssl pcntl pcre PDO pdo_mysql Phar posix readline Reflection session shmop sockets SPL standard sysvmsg sysvsem sysvshm tokenizer Zend OPcache zlib ``` * Is the “libxml”? * [desirelabs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/desirelabs/) * (@desirelabs) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/incompatible-with-php70/#post-7355111) * Hello, in case it’ll help : `apt-get install php7.0-xml` `service apache2 restart` * cheers * Thread Starter [tiago](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tiagogoncalves/) * (@tiagogoncalves) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/incompatible-with-php70/#post-7355112) * Thanks! it worked out!
