 * Hi,
 * I have an issue, was able to track down that the problem is at aleats related
   to PHP 7.3
 * When adding an advert, under PHP 7.2 no problem to access second step to verify
   advert content before going live with it.
 * Under PHP 7.3, this step just times out after a while giving an error on the 
   whole website. Website goes down for a while then, server is overloaded.
 * Result afterwards is that hundreds of temporary adverts are created in the database(
   one per second roughly).

 * Hi,
    hmm i am using PHP7.3 as well but right now i cannot replicate this issue.
 * Are you using plain WP with just WPAdverts and default theme or do you have some
   additional plugins installed and maybe a custom theme?
 * The problem looks like some kind of infinite loop and it can be caused by some
   third party plugin, i would recommend checking if the problem persists with just
   plain WP and default theme.
 * I will double check with that with PHP7.3 myself as well once i am back in the
   office tomorrow.

 * I will do some more testing, but the issue only occurs when I switch from PHP
   7.2 to PHP 7.3 under the same configuration (WP, theme, plugins).

 * Ok i will do some testing with PHP 7.3 myself as well.
 * If you could let me know what theme and plugins you have installed on site that
   might be helpful in troubleshooting.

 * Update : Problem solved with PHP 7.3.1 which has been recompiled by our hosting
   company.
    No explanation for the infinite loop though.

 * Thanks for the feedback, i am marking this thread as resolved then, it would 
   be best to have an explanation but maybe it was just some temporary glitch.
