You website doesn’t run on the recommended by SiteGround PHP version

By piccolo1, 5 years ago. Last reply by Andrew Misplon, 5 years ago.

I keep seeing this message on wordpress when I login to my website. I am running PHP 7.3. I upgraded the PHP today and I still get the message. How can I correct this?

I get the following errors:
FILE: /home/piccolod/public_html/wp-content/plugins/so-widgets-bundle/base/inc/lib/Less/Parser.php

    Hi, I Work Here

    Hi, thanks for reaching out :)

    We’ve looked into the highlighted warnings (not errors) in the past. These warnings are coming up due to how the PHP 7 Compatability Checker checks for compatibility. It’s basically missing the context and the context prevents the issue from occurring and flagging it incorrectly as a result.

    In other words, these warnings are false positive and safe to ignore. You’re able to use either PHP 7 or PHP 7.1 without issue. We actively use PHP 7 during development so we can assure you – there are no issues with PHP 7.

    Hope that helps.
