Title: php 7.2 compatibility errors Last modified: May 29, 2018 --- # php 7.2 compatibility errors * Resolved [JawaScript](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crimsonguard/) * (@crimsonguard) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-7-2-compatibility-errors/) * Hello there I just checked my site prior to an upgrade to php 7.2 and BackWPup came with quite a list of errors and warnings related to php 7.2. * The list is quite long, so I just copied the beginnings below, but you can download the complete list here: [https://www.dropbox.com/s/cip4f5dbpty9frp/Scan%20Results%20for%20PHP%207.2%20Compatibility%20-%20BackWPup.txt?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/cip4f5dbpty9frp/Scan%20Results%20for%20PHP%207.2%20Compatibility%20-%20BackWPup.txt?dl=0) * My questions are: – can you confirm that your plugin is not php 7.2 compatible and that I shouldn’t try to use it with php 7.2? – is a compatibility update of your plugin planned in the following months? Any information about your plans is appreciated. * In any case, thank you for your work on this plugin.

About your warnings, the reason is that we have to keep support old PHP 5.4 and bellow. Hope my answer helpful, if not, please let me know 🙂 * Thread Starter [JawaScript](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crimsonguard/) * (@crimsonguard) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-7-2-compatibility-errors/#post-10345195) * Ok, thanks for the info. I’ll let you know if I meet any issue, but I guess I won’t. Keep up the good work. * [happyAnt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/duongcuong96/) * (@duongcuong96) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-7-2-compatibility-errors/#post-10345753) * [@crimsonguard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crimsonguard/) * If you find BackWPUp is useful for you, we would really appreciate if you leave a positive review and rating. This would encourage us to develop new free features and provide free support 😀 [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/backwpup/reviews/](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/backwpup/reviews/) Thank you! * [roam92](https://wordpress.org/support/users/roam92/) * (@roam92) * [7 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-7-2-compatibility-errors/#post-10913262) * Thank you, I’m getting the same message about the BackWPup plugin, so was wondering the same thing – and luckily Google brought me to this post for the answer.
