 * Hey – not the plugin author, but I just ran into the same issue.
 * The problem is that set_magic_quotes_runtime() was deprecated in PHP 5.3, but
   still available. In this case, the plugin would still run, but just display the
   above error. However, it was completely removed in PHP 7.0, so if you’re running
   WordPress using PHP 7, this line will cause the plugin to fail.
 * The simple fix is just to open the file, remove that line, and save the file.
   Removing it doesn’t have any negative repercussions because the intention for
   the function is achieved by its removal from PHP.

 * Commenting that line fixes PHP 7 support.
