 * Hello,
 * I am in the process of upgrading my server to PHP 7 and I used the php compatibility
   module plug in.
 * It says that there is a small incompatibility in your plug in. The error/warning
   it gives:
 * Name: WP Lynx
 * FILE: /var/www/clients/client2/web13/web/wp-content/plugins/wp-lynx/class.llynx_scrape.
   php
    ——————————————————————————– FOUND 0 ERRORS AND 1 WARNING AFFECTING 1 LINE——————————————————————————–
   59 | WARNING | INI directive ‘safe_mode’ is deprecated since PHP 5.3 and removed
   since PHP 5.4 ——————————————————————————–
 * Your plug in works well and I use it form time to time. I would like to make 
   sure it keeps working once I upgrade.
 * Thanks for any comments you might have.
 * Thanks
 * Joseph

 * Thanks for reporting this, the first one is now fixed in the GitHub “dafydd” 
   branch (the development branch for 1.3.0).
 * As for the ASP style warnings, that’s a bug in the PHP compatibility module plugin.
   The template.llynx_views.php file contains a backbone.js template (hence the `
   <%= %>` tags). I guess it is more of a potential pitfall for older PHP installs
   where ASP style tags are enabled (but I don’t believe that’s very common). Eventually,
   this file will go away when Gutenberg integration is ready.
