 * Our host is upgrading our server to enable PHP7, so we ran compatibility checks
   with the PHP Compatibility Checker plugin ([https://wordpress.org/plugins/php-compatibility-checker/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/php-compatibility-checker/))
   to make sure our sites will function properly after the upgrade.
 * Unfortunately, WP Help throws the following warning about one file:
 * FILE: (redacted)/wp-content/plugins/wp-help/lib/requirements-check.php\
    ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————\
   FOUND 0 ERRORS AND 2 WARNINGS AFFECTING 2 LINES\ ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————\
   40 | WARNING | Method name “CWS_WP_Help_Requirements_Check::__php_at_least” is
   discouraged; PHP has reserved all method names with a double underscore prefix
   for future use\ 59 | WARNING | Method name “CWS_WP_Help_Requirements_Check::__wp_at_least”
   is discouraged; PHP has reserved all method names with a double underscore prefix
   for future use\ ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————\
 * We are happy with WP Help and would love to see these warnings resolved so that
   we can continue to use it after we upgrade to PHP7.
