PHP warning

Still getting those warnings and now even more for the addons since I activated them:

Warning: "continue" targeting switch is equivalent to "break". Did you mean to use "continue 2"? in /wp-content/plugins/wp-invoice/addons/wp-invoice-pdf/lib/third-party/dompdf/src/Renderer/Text.php on line 140

@dsl225 I am getting the same warnings and error messages and it seems to be continuously running did you ever find a solution or speak with @usability_dynamics?

I have repeatedly asked for help from Usability Dynamics. They do not respond to any of our support threads. I went to their website https://www.usabilitydynamics.com/ and sent a message there. Here is the response I got weeks later:

Hey Melissa,

Thank You for using our products. We will fix this issue and you can update it in next version of plugin.

This was sent to me on March 9, 2020 from this email address: [email protected]

I’m still waiting on the promised update.

@dsl225 @thebarkacademy from research I see that it seems to be an issue from upgrading to the latest PHP. I’m on 7.4. I don’t want to scale back down but this error file grows quite large in a day.

https://github.com/Automattic/o2/issues/165

Only issue i’m having is line 693 is blank on my .php file…

@tmalonemktg still getting all those errors and I’m on 7.3

Here is what my host did for me.

This error message suggests that the wp-crm plugin is not compatible with PHP 7.4. If it doesn’t break the website, it is possible to ignore this error. If you want to hide the error message from the website, you should change the following value from:
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_STRICT & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED
to
error_reporting = 0 in the global php.ini file.

We also added the following line to the global php.ini for your account to disable the displaying of PHP errors:

display_errors = 0

This worked for me.

@argent41
Thanks for this but I would not recommend doing this.
First, I’m getting this error on PHP 7.3, so it’s not specifically related to version 7.4

Then, it is certainly not a good practice hiding errors, as this code simply hides ALL of them but not solving anything. This present notification is simply a warning with no serious consequences for the moment but by hiding all errors the system might encounter in the future is like one saying to himself “I’m not sick” while he suffers from disease…

Yes, I understand the ramifications of turning a blind eye, but what can you do if your site is marred by a scary warning for the world to see and plugin support won’t do anything.
Stuck between a rock and a hard place – a warning to upgrade your insecure PHP version or put up with graffiti on your website.

@argent41 those warnings don’t display on visitors!
Only admins can see them!

Thanks for the heads up on that John, good to know.

Just coming back through to see if there were any updates. Yes while visitor cannot see the error logs, the error logs grow quite large rather quickly on your severe and cause your website to load slower than usual…

Good point Tony, do you know if server admin can delete these logs?
Best in the long run to find and fix the source of the error messages right?

No updates yet, but those are simple warnings and do not cause any issues.
You can safely delete them by connecting to your site’s root by FTP.

@argent41 yes I have access to my hosting servers via FTP, but I end up having to erase them every 3 or for days because it continuously runs up to over 2 megabytes a day.
