Are there any plans to make this plug-in compatible with PHP 7.2? * [OrlandoWebDev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/orlandowebdev/) * (@orlandowebdev) * [7 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-7-2-compatibility-errors-found/#post-10926614) * I haven’t tested this yet, but it appears the maintainer of the plugin is using mcrypt has a fallback. This is a false positive by the WP Engine PHP Compatibility checker. * [https://github.com/wpengine/phpcompat/issues/212](https://github.com/wpengine/phpcompat/issues/212) * Thread Starter [electriceel33](https://wordpress.org/support/users/electriceel33/) * (@electriceel33) * [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-7-2-compatibility-errors-found/#post-10934961) * [@zbrastudios](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zbrastudios/) I can confirm that it’s a false positive like [@orlandowebdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/orlandowebdev/) mentioned. We just deployed our update to PHP 7.2 and didn’t have any compatibility issues with the plugin. Should be good to go, cheers! * Plugin Author [Cliff Seal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cliffseal/) * (@cliffseal) * [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-7-2-compatibility-errors-found/#post-10935243) * Thanks for stepping in here, [@orlandowebdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/orlandowebdev/)!
