WP Mail SMTP has full PHP 7.x Support (7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3)

WP Mail SMTP is 100% fully compatible and functional with all PHP 7.x releases. This includes PHP 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3.

Various PHP compatibility “checker” plugins (such as PHPCompat) will report issues with WP Mail SMTP. These are false positives and can be ignored.

Several packages that WP Mail SMTP leverages include different versions of code to offer support for ALL PHP versions, from 5.4 through 7.2. The result of this is that WP Mail SMTP includes code that will flag the PHP compatibility checkers.

However, this code is conditionally loaded depending on the PHP version on your site. So, for example, if you are on an older version of PHP the plugin will use mcrypt, if you are on PHP 7.2+, that functionality is not loaded or used (as it is not available).

The PHP compatibility checkers do no currently account for smart conditional loading. Instead, they scan all the files included in the plugin and will flag items regardless if they are loaded/used or not.

It’s very important to us that users are able to use the latest, most secure, and fastest versions of PHP, so we’re committed to make sure WP Mail SMTP is 100% functional with all latest PHP releases.
