Sorry for the radio silence here. * We have been working through some blockers on the release. Specifically, we’re working through an update to PHP CodeSniffer (dependency) which has caused breaking changes. * We’re currently working through those breaks. You can follow the progress here… * [https://github.com/wpengine/phpcompat/pull/251](https://github.com/wpengine/phpcompat/pull/251) * Thread Starter [gevcen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gevcen/) * (@gevcen) * [6 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-7-4-2/#post-12496860) * Hi, * The github page hasn’t been updated for about a month. * Any idea when it would be released? * Thanks * [roam92](https://wordpress.org/support/users/roam92/) * (@roam92) * [6 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-7-4-2/#post-12524951) * Hi [@davidvee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidvee/) – * The 7.4 update for this very helpful tool has been promised for several months now… * Any updates here? * Thanks! * [davidvee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidvee/) * (@davidvee) * WPEngine Employee * [6 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-7-4-2/#post-12524961) * I’m happy to provide an update. We experienced a snag when one of the underlying libraries received an update which introduced a slew of breaking changes which would affect updating the plugi for 7.4. We’re working through those unforeseen updates now. Sorry all for the delay here. * [roam92](https://wordpress.org/support/users/roam92/) * (@roam92) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-7-4-2/#post-12798573) * Hi [@davidvee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidvee/), thank you for the update and I hope you are well. * Just checking in. Another two months have gone by, and it’s now been half a year since PHP 7.4 was released… * Is there any hope this plugin will be updated to support PHP 7.4? Hosting companies are supporting it but it seems prudent to check each website first. * Thanks! * [davidvee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidvee/) * (@davidvee) * WPEngine Employee * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-7-4-2/#post-12799509) * It’s been a hot mess for sure. The refactoring required for 7.4 is a tough hill to climb! We’re thinking through the next steps now to see what is reasonable to do here. * In the meantime, you can always use this for PHP linting depending on your level of technical expertise… [https://github.com/PHPCompatibility/PHPCompatibility](https://github.com/PHPCompatibility/PHPCompatibility) * Of course, even when using the plugin, you’ll still want to test your site in a PHP 7.4 environment before it goes live. If your site is indeed functioning in a 7.4 environment a linting scan might not provide too much value. * Of course, your host may offer you a staging site with PHP 7.4 or you could do that locally on your computer (e.g. LocalWP). * In any case, I hate to give you the “we’re not done yet” answer, but it is what it is right now.
