 * Hi Guys,
    Just a heads up – I had to run debug today to work out issues with 
   a different plugin. Wanted to let you know I have several entries in the debug
   log for your plugin. Same error logs every time it checks for broken links:
 * _PHP Deprecated: Function create\_function() is deprecated in */wp-content/plugins/
   broken-link-checker/modules/checkers/http.php on line 147_
 * Don’t know if it matters or not, but I’m running PHP 7.2.12 with FPM application
   served by Nginx on this site.
 * I really appreciate your broken link checker. I use it on all of my WP sites 
   and recommend it to everyone. It has saved the day for me many times!
 * Have a groovy good day 🙂

   has put above, the plugin PHP Compatibility found these issues with this fantastic
   plugin;

 * Thank you for reporting this [@forest-skills](https://wordpress.org/support/users/forest-skills/)
   [@leopard-lady](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leopard-lady/). The create_function
   issue has been fixed in the fork here: [https://github.com/HongPong/broken-link-checker](https://github.com/HongPong/broken-link-checker)
 * You can download it here:
    [https://github.com/HongPong/broken-link-checker/archive/master.zip](https://github.com/HongPong/broken-link-checker/archive/master.zip)
 * I have requested to manage this plugin here:

 * Plugin has been updated to support PHP7.2 and WP 5.1.1. These two were the cause
   for a lot of the recent bugs.
 * Please let me know if the issue persists with the latest version of BLC.
 * Cheers,
    Nemanja

 * Hi Guys – [@hongpong](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hongpong/) and [@kouteki](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kouteki/)
   
   Forgive me, but I’m confused as to which of you is taking care of this plugin
   now?
 * And which update to go with?
 * I’m currently running Nemanja’s v1.11.8
 * [@hongpong](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hongpong/) – is your update different
   from this and better in some way?
 * [@kouteki](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kouteki/) – I am running PHP v7.3.4
   and it seems to be running fine. I don’t see any errors in the debug log. Unfortunately,
   I’m not able to test it with PHP Compatibility Checker for you, as they have 
   not yet implemented testing with PHP 7.3.x
 * [@forest-skills](https://wordpress.org/support/users/forest-skills/) – Thank 
   you for your added input on this 🙂
 * Thanks guys,
    LL
