Connections is 100% compatible with PHP 7. It is developed and tested on version 7.0.12. Static analysis is not everything… 🙂 * `…/plugins/connections/vendor/php_class_upload/class.upload.php` No longer used, included only to maintain backwards compatibility for commercial add-ons which still use it because users have not upgraded the add-ons. This library is only updated if needed for security issues. * `…/plugins/connections/includes/system-info/inc.system-info.php` This is only diagnostic info for troubleshooting users still on old version of PHP. Will not affect users on newer versions: * `…/plugins/connections/includes/class.metabox-api.php` `…/plugins/connections/ includes/class.sanitize.php` False positive, “string” is allowed as a function name in PHP 7, it is only disallowed as a class name. * `…/plugins/connections/includes/class.utility.php` Deprecated function which is no longer used. Included for backward compatibility only. * If you do find any issues while running on PHP7 with Connections, let me know and I’ll resolve it right away! * Again, thanks for taking the time to let me know. - This reply was modified 9 years, 7 months ago by [Steven](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shazahm1hotmailcom/). * Thread Starter [mustermann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mustermann/) * (@mustermann) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php7-errors-with-this-plugin/#post-8329873) * Hi, * is in the plugin “PHP Compatibility Checker plugin” a bug?

Can you give more detail or explain further? * As I mentioned Connections is 100% PHP 7 compatible. If you run into any actual issues with running Connections with PHP 7 let me know and I’ll address. As I mentioned, all development is on PHP 7.0.12 and there are no issues that I am aware of. The notices generated by the other “PHP Compatibility Checker plugin are explained in my previous reply and are not issues.
