Title: PHP Compatibility Errors Last modified: January 20, 2021 --- # PHP Compatibility Errors * Resolved [Ebonie Butler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/metalandcoffee/) * (@metalandcoffee) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-compatibility-errors/) * I ran the PHP Compatibility ruleset ([https://github.com/PHPCompatibility/PHPCompatibilityWP](https://github.com/PHPCompatibility/PHPCompatibilityWP)) against the plugin code (version 2.6.20) and here are the results. I am wondering how critical these warnings/errors are as I plan an upgrade to PHP 7.4 and if any one of them plan to be addressed. * ``` FILE: plugins/ad-inserter/includes/dst/dst.php ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOUND 0 ERRORS AND 1 WARNING AFFECTING 1 LINE ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 178 | WARNING | Since PHP 7.0, functions inspecting arguments, like debug_backtrace(), no longer report the | | original value as passed to a parameter, but will instead provide the current value.
