 * Hey!
 * We currently host our websites with WP Engine. Our host is looking into migrating
   ours servers to PHP 7. To make sure all themes and plugins are PHP7 compatible
   WP Engine has built a compatibility test ( [https://wordpress.org/plugins/php-compatibility-checker/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/php-compatibility-checker/)).
   We use Shortcodes Ultimate for almost all our sites. However the plugin shows
   this Error:
 * FILE: /wp-content/plugins/shortcodes-ultimate/inc/core/tools.php
    ———————————————————————
   FOUND 1 ERROR AFFECTING 1 LINE ——————————————————————— 681 | ERROR | Using ‘break’
   outside of a loop or switch structure is invalid and will throw a fatal error
   since PHP 7.0 ———————————————————————
 * If this is a false-flag I will reach out to WP Engine to mark as such, however
   if this is a PHP 7 incompatibility then I’m working if there is a timeline to
   fix this?
 * Thank you for your time.
 * – Art

 * Hi Art,
 * I saw [here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-7-x-incompatibility/) that“
   The error is a false positive in the checker”
 * Can anyone confirm?

 * I really hope so. I got like 15 sites running that plugin.

 * It is NOT a false positive. We upgraded our development instance to PHP 7 and
   upon finding that SU wasn’t working, had to back it out. We await a fix, but 
   as far as I can tell haven’t heard anything from the authors.

 * The latest release now offers php7 compatibility. I am pleased to report it’s
   working for the site I have checked so far. Thanks to the developer for updating
   this useful plugin, much appreciated.
