I was just reading about the changes to WordPress in 5.3 and noticed that 5.3 aims to fully support PHP 7.4 with multiple changes to remove deprecated functionality. Before I update, will this cause any issues with s2Member or s2Member Pro? Thanks.
Compatible with WordPress 5.3?
Hi Stephen.
I haven’t tested against PHP 7.4 yet, but from what I’ve read there should be not issues. The deprecations are:
- Short open tags
- Left-associative ternary operator
- Change the Precedence of the Concatenation Operator
- Curly brace syntax for array elements
s2Member doesn’t use any of those, so you should be fine.
I have been using the latest WordPress 5.3 in my tests, and so far haven’t seen an issue. Also using the latest 5.4 Alpha and fine too.
I look forward to any other user’s comments, input or feedback on this, would love to hear your experiences from testing with them.
