 * I love this plugin and I’ve used it extensively on my website for several years.
   
   Thank you, Max team.
 * I can’t get it to work though when using PHP versions greater than 5.6 (i.e. 
   can’t upgrade to PHP 7.0+) This seems strange and sooner or later other things
   will break with old versions of PHP I seem captive to.
 * Is the plug-in compatible with PHP 7.0 and later? Anyone else experience this?
 * Thanks.

 * What issues or error messages are you seeing? I’m running MaxGalleria with PHP
   7.2, which is the recommended version for WordPress, and I not experiencing any
   issues. You should get your site upgraded to PHP 7.2.

 * Thanks for your quick reply.
 * I don’t get error messages, the page just doesn’t show the gallery, it shows 
   a space for the images that don’t come in, it just looks broken.
 * I flip it back to an old version of php (through cpanel), like 5.6 and all is
   well again.
 * I’ve got another plug-in Fat Cat Easy Price Table, that behaves the same way.
 * I using up to date Genesis, but the theme itself is now getting old (but not 
   sure the theme should matter).
 * Glad to know yours works, but I’ve got a gremlin somewhere with these two plugins
   and new PHP versions. Probably a needle in a haystack to find it. I’ve been dealing
   with it now for a few years and php 5.6 is now getting too old. Arggghhh.

 * The page seems to be encountering an error and you can determine what the error
   is by turning on WordPress debugging. To turn on WordPress debugging, edit the
   site’s wp-config.php file and change
 * `define('WP_DEBUG', false);`
 * to
 *     ```
       define('WP_DEBUG', true);
       define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
       define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);
       @ini_set('display_errors', 0);
       ```
   
 * (Be sure to change this back when you are done.)
 * This will allow different kinds of messages, some will not be related to MaxGalleria,
   to be written to a debug.log file in the wp-content folder. Now visit the page
   containing the gallery and then check the debug.log file.

 * Thanks so much, will try that. Glad to know it’s not a php issue. Thanks again
   for all your work on this marvelous plugin.
