 * I have upgrade my WP version with 4.8 and found the compatibility issue with 
   php7. That’s what we got after checking our site with php7cc before upgrading
   PHP5 to PHP7 on a server.
 * Do you have plans to fix that and when will it be done?

 * WordPress not only supports PHP 7, it’s recommended that you use 7.0 or higher.
 * I’m not familiar with PHP7cc, but I believe the warnings about `func_get_args()`
   is just something that _might_ cause issues, and that the programmers should 
   check, but won’t necessarily cause problems if they’ve been accounted for.
 * The other issue, regarding `set_magic_quotes_runtime()`, doesn’t seem to account
   for WordPres checking the PHP version before running it: [https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/search?utf8=✓&q=set_magic_quotes_runtime&type=](https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/search?utf8=✓&q=set_magic_quotes_runtime&type=)

 * is this in wp4.8 resolves such warning?
 * I thing this should be resolved in 4.8 if you are making wp compatible with PHP7,
   as you are mention in wp requirement is PHP7 or higher.
 * set_magic_quotes_runtime() I want your attention here, because if you using this
   function in our wp setup and PHP7 is already mention that we have removed this,
   then why are you calling this fun’c and from where we will get definition of 
   this fun’c.

 * No, WordPress’ _requirement_ isn’t PHP7, just the recommendation. WordPress still
   supports older versions of PHP, which is why this function is still in core.
 * As I said though, the important thing is that WordPress checks which version 
   of PHP is running, and _will not run this function_ if it’s not there because
   you’re running PHP7.
