    Your plugin is not compatible with PHP 7.2. It causes an issue when viewing your plugin list in wp-admin. A 500 error appears to prevent the full list of plugins to be shown. There might be other issues as well. I will report them as I find them. Are you aware of this?

    Thanks,
    Brad

    I have forwarded your message to the lead developer of PowerPress. A response will be posted here as soon as he’s had a chance to look at your post.

    Hello Brad,

    Can you provide the error message in the error.log where it indicates which line and the reason for PowerPress causing your 500 error on your server? What version of PowerPress are you currently using? Also, what version of PHP 7.2 are you using?

    I’ve re-reviewed PHP 7.2’s list of deprecated functions and none of the functions in the list are in use in PowerPress. I’ve also re-tested our plugin on PHP 7.2 (specifically PHP 7.2.11) and are not seeing any issues, in the plugin, on pages, editing posts or going to the “plugins” view in WordPress to activate/deactivate PowerPress. The problem may be indirectly related to PHP 7.2, having the line number where the error is occurring and/or what the error message that is thrown with the error message can help us tremendously.

    Thanks,
    Angelo

    Hi there – https://github.com/PHPCompatibility/PHPCompatibilityWP is reporting the following:

    
FILE: ...ntent/plugins/powerpress/getid3/module.audio-video.quicktime.php
----------------------------------------------------------------------
FOUND 1 ERROR AFFECTING 1 LINE
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 116 | ERROR | list() will assign variable from left-to-right since
     |       | PHP 7.0. Ensure all variables in list() are unique to
     |       | prevent unexpected results.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

    This wouldn’t cause 500 errors, but it’s something that should be fixed. (Just rename one of the $dummy variables.)

    Hello @boonebgorges,

    Thanks for reporting. That is found in the getid3 library, it is a 3rd party library. We’ve passed this on to them in the past about PHP 7.2+ compatibility. I will check to see if they have fixed this and other PHP 7.2.

    This effects users who are publishing video. The getID3 library is only used when verifying media files, this would cause an issue for video podcasters who are using PHP 7.2+.

    As Boone said, this would not affect the listing of plugins.

    Thanks,
    Angelo

    It appears this is a problem with the GetID3 library also packed in WordPress. I will pass this bug onto the getid3 project.

    This will be fixed in PowerPress in the next release.
