 * I’m looking to update my PHP to 7.0 and ran the PHP Compatibility plugin to make
   sure everything would be compatible, but one of my most important widgets I use
   to monetize my blog gives me this error:
 * FILE: /home/thesty28/public_html/wp-content/plugins/rewardstyle-widgets-PNhNe0/
   plugin-update-checker/vendor/ParsedownLegacy.php
    —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
   FOUND 1 ERROR AFFECTING 1 LINE —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
   1412 | ERROR | Indirect access to variables, properties and methods will be evaluated
   strictly in left-to-right order since PHP 7.0. Use curly braces to remove ambiguity.—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
 * Anyone have any insight on how this can be fixed and/or if I am able to move 
   forward with the update without it affecting this plugin? Thanks in advance!

 * Please contact the developers of that plugin for assistance. I don’t see their
   plugin in the WordPress respository, so I can’t give you a link.
