How to Fix PHP7 Error

IMHO, this is still the best archive plugin out there, so I obstinately want to keep using it even though it is abandoned. If you too like it, feel free to follow the below steps to remove this PHP7 error:

SAR_Settings::validate($args) should be compatible with scbAdminPage::validate($new_data, $old_data) in /home/airfor43/public_html/wp-content/plugins/smart-archives-reloaded_/admin/admin.php on line 113

Step 1: ftp into your file structure
Step 2: Navigate to “/public_html/wp-content/plugins/smart-archives-reloaded_/admin”
Step 3: Edit “admin.php”
Step 4: Modify the line of code as detailed below…
– OLD: function validate( $args ) {
– NEW: function validate( $args, $garbage ) {
Step 5: Save and the error should go away on refresh

Enjoy ??

Hopefully someone will fork this plugin soon…
