TablePress is fully compatible to PHP 7. For details on those warnings that you are probably seeing in the compatibility checker, please see [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tablepress-php-70-compatibility/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tablepress-php-70-compatibility/) * Regards, Tobias * P.S.: Please note that the same question was asked 7 posts below yours already. * [mustermann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mustermann/) * (@mustermann) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php7-compatibility-42/#post-8324604) * I the PHP7 checker found 2 Errors in the plugin: * FOUND 2 ERRORS AFFECTING 2 LINES ————————————————————————————————————– 185 | ERROR | Extension ‘mysql_’ is deprecated since PHP 5.5 and removed since PHP 7.0 – use mysqli instead. 186 | ERROR | Extension ‘mysql_’ is deprecated since PHP 5.5 and removed since PHP 7.0 – use mysqli instead. * thank you for help * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php7-compatibility-42/#post-8325004) * Hi [@mustermann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mustermann/), * please see the link that I posted above for details on exactly these two error messages, thanks!

Their report is absolutely correct! It’s just that they can not detect (because from what I know they do static code analysis) that TablePress contains measures to prevent that the functions in questions are called when PHP 7.0 is used. However, I can not simply remove these functions as they are needed when older versions of PHP are used on the server. * Regards, Tobias * [mustermann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mustermann/) * (@mustermann) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php7-compatibility-42/#post-8325068) * Thanks for the explanation Tobias * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php7-compatibility-42/#post-8325143) * Hi, * no problem, you are very welcome! 🙂 Good to hear that this helped! * Best wishes, Tobias Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) The topic ‘PHP7 Compatibility’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/tablepress/assets/icon.svg?rev=3192944) * [TablePress - Tables in WordPress made easy](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/reviews/) ## Tags * [compatibility](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/compatibility/) * [PHP7](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/php7/) * 7 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * Last activity: [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php7-compatibility-42/#post-8325143) * Status: resolved
