    Hi guys,

    we are checking our website compatibility with php 7.

    So we are installed a plugin (https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/php-compatibility-checker) to test compatibility of theme and plugins active.

    The report says we have 3 warnings and 1 error with your plugin:

    FILE: /var/www/vhosts/brandingaddicted.com/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/wp-cache.php
    —————————————————————————————————–

    Hi @brandingaddicted

    Line 652 triggers PHP warning if you are using wp-super-cache REST API (very rare case – because WP dashboard doesn’t use these API). WP Super Cache works normally on PHP 7.0 (I’ve installed it on servers which run PHP 7.0). I’m preparing pull request which will fix it.

    If you want to correct this, then you can replace line 652 with:
    global ${$setting};

    Warnings (related to safe_mode) are part of legacy code which supports older version of PHP. WP core and Super Cache still supports PHP 5.2.

    So, they are ‘FALSE POSITIVE’ and you can update PHP to 7.0 or 7.1.

    Thanks for your interest. I hope that helps.

    Regards,
    Sasa
