No Support for PHP 7

Oh wow. That’s why my newsletter markup got messed up!

Thankfully, my messed up newsletters didn’t get sent either … I am considering a migration to MailChimp. The advantage would be that full WordPress posts could be sent including all headers, images etc. On the other hand, MailChimp is missing some of MailPoet’s features too of course.

My newsletters are sent once a month. I’m going to manually switch to PHP5.4, send newsletters, switch back to PHP7. Or just screw it, no newsletters until Mailpoet fix it.

I’m sure they will.
Will you?!

Hopefully this will be fixed soon. It does not even work with php 5.6 correctly

They are working on it …?although it is a bad sign that they don’t even support the current PHP version 5.6.

Maybe it is time to look for an alternative, MailPoet has some annoying restrictions anyway.

It’s coming guys…

Hey!

Any updates on this topic?

I’ve tested all my plugins with this PHP linter:
