It hasn’t been done yet and without a doubt, planned for a future update. * In the meantime, we have seen that our plugins can run on some of our customers which have PHP 5.5 and above without their functionalities are being affected. Should your host decided to upgrade to PHP 5.6 or above and you have any issues regarding the works of our plugins, please don’t hesitate to let us know. * [Eric Gunawan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erricgunawan/) * (@erricgunawan) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-compatibility-issues/#post-9027500) * Hi [@meadwench](https://wordpress.org/support/users/meadwench/), * We’d like to inform you that we have run tests for the current version of WP RSS Aggregator (4.11.1) on PHP 5.6 and 7.x. * So far, we have found no major compatibility issues. There are no major plugin breaking issues and no visible breakages to the functionality with both PHP 5.6 and 7.x * However, should you encounter one while setting up or using our Core plugin in the said platforms, we welcome any feedback you may have. * Thanks again for staying with us and always using the latest version of WP RSS Aggregator.
