Heads up! this post was created when Microthemer was at version 5. The current version is 7. Some references to the interface may be out of date.

Hi, I’m using SiteGround for hosting. I’d like to switch to PHP 7. SiteGround does a check on the sites for compatibility. It shows 2 warnings for MicroThemer 4.9.7.8:

FILE: /home/blyxum90/domains/kekkecampers.nl/wp-content/plugins/microthemer/includes/class-json.php

Hey,

Thanks for reporting this. I’ve replaced the PHP4 constructors in the file you mentioned with PHP 5-7 compatible constructors. I’ve done this on the new version 5, which will be released in a matter of days. Would you like to try it now?

I’d really appreciate it if you could let me know what the SiteGround check returns.

Many thanks,
Sebastian

Hi, the SiteGround check can take a while. I’ve had sites taking hours. I’ve installed 5.0.0.2 in a minimalistic sandbox, but the check hasn’t finished yet. If it will, I’ll let you know.

That’s great. Thanks for the update. If you have any problems using 5.0.0.2, I’m here.

Cheers,
Sebastian
