  • Hi @malae
    Thanks for sharing this report with us, I’ve logged that to our Quality Assurance department for review.

    Have a good day!

    Our team reviewed all of these warnings one by one and it has been confirmed that all of them are being used for backward compatibility.

    Thanks.

    Thanks Alaa,

    I thought that they may only be there for backward compatibility, but was unable to run checks at the time I discovered them. I thought it better to bring to the attention of WF in case there could be problems.

    Sorry to resurrect this thread, but is this backwards compatible code, only executed in environments with old PHP versions?

    Is it safe to use PHP 7.2 with WordFence?

    Best regards
    Bjarne

    Hi Bjarne,

    The answer is “yes” for both questions.

    Thanks.

    Thank you – thought so, but preferred to be sure ??
