 * I’m running the PHP Compatibility Checker plugin to see if there are any plugins
   that might not be compatible with PHP7 before I upgrade my client’s site now 
   that their hosting has PHP7 available. After running the checker there were warnings
   about this plugin, so I wanted to check with you to see if this is a false positive,
   or if maybe the warnings popped up because the version I’m running needs to be
   updated.
 * Here are the results:
    FILE: /public_html/wp-content/plugins/connections/connections.

   Update Available: 8.6.11; Current Version: 8.6.7;
 * If it is a false positive, or just because I need to update the plugin, is the
   current version compatible with PHP7?

 * **re: Is This Plugin PHP7 Compatible**
 * Both the version you have installed and the update available are PHP7 compatible.
   Both were developed and tested on PHP7.1.
 * Hope that helps!
