MaxButtons 8.6 incompatible with PHP 5.6

    After updating to MaxButtons 8.6 a customer of ours who is (unwisely) still using PHP 5.6 saw this error:

    PHP Fatal error: Default value for parameters with a class type hint can only be NULL in /wp-content/plugins/maxbuttons/classes/block.php on line 193

    That appears to be caused by this change:

    --- /wp-content/plugins/maxbuttons/classes/block.php 2021-02-26
+++ /wp-content/plugins/maxbuttons/classes/block.php 2021-05-28

-   public function parse_css($css, $mode = 'normal', $screens) {
+   public function parse_css($css, $screens, string $mode = 'normal') {

        $data = $this->getBlockData();

    That code only works with PHP 7.0 and later.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the message. We didn’t realize early enough that it wouldn’t work with PHP version 5.x . We’ve upped the required PHP version to 7, since PHP 5.x is quite end of life.

    Sorry about that!
