PHP 7.2 Checker says Cloudflare is incompatible. Can someone help?

General
#1

My host, wpengine, is requiring a switch to PHP 7.2 in coming days and weeks. They have a PHP 7.2 compatibility checker. When I run it, the only error I get is that it says Cloudflare is not compatible. Cloudflare generates 2 errors and 2 warnings. I’ve pasted them below. I don’t know if I need to deactivate Cloudflare for the time being or if I can somehow fix the problems. I have the latest version of the Cloudflare Plugin installed. I know very little website coding. Thanks, Paul

By the way, my site is ipscell.com. Thanks.

@Sandro,
I have 3.3.3 installed. Do you know if it is compatible with PHP 7.2? I’m getting a few possible errors, but when testing my site in staging as a PHP 7.2 site with Cloudflare active it seems to be working OK.
Thanks,
Paul

3.3.2 is compatible too, I think there was a general non-7.2 specific bug which was fixed with 3.3.3. So yes, 3.3.3 should work too, even though someone reported an issue in an earlier thread which was fixed by going back to 3.3.2 but you best try that yourself.
