PHP 7.3 Upgrade Compatibility

[treehuggertravel]

Hi everyone…

I want to upgrade from PHP 7.0 to 7.3.

I ran the plugin “PHP Compatibility Checker” and only cloudflare had issues out of my installed plugins.

2 Errors and 2 Warnings were thrown up. Please can someone assist and let me know if these are “real problems”.

Thanks… John

I’m running it on a bunch of 7.3 sites and it works. It clears the cache as needed and does HTTP Push.
