    Hey Deyson,

    Thank you for these warnings, I’ll work on them for a future update.

    Note: It’s going to be hard for WordPress to move away from __(), since they’ve used that for years for strings and every plugin/theme uses it. ??

    Hello, Dan.

    Thank you very much for looking into this.
    I ran a compatibility test and as of now, this plugin is the only one that did not pass. I am sorry for the trouble. If the plugin fails after my PHP upgrade I could hard code Helpscout into WordPress, so there is not too much pressure.

    Thank you for your valuable time and hard work. Have an amazing day!
