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, 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.
