What's the status on compatibility with PHP 7.2 for all products?

We’re about to migrate our servers from PHP 5.6 to 7.2 and we’ve run the PHP Compatibility Checker but several of the ThemeCo plugins and themes couldn’t be scanned due to their size. I’d like to know if the following are fully compatible with PHP 7.2:

  • Cornerstone
  • X
  • WPBakery Page Builder (since it seems to be included as part of X)

While on the subject, if anyone else is running their site on PHP 7.2, were there problems you faced with these themes/plugins?

Thank you!

Hi @phanie12

Thanks for writing in! Since PHP v7.2.x is the latest version, you may experience incompatibility issues as it will take some time to fix bugs on latest releases.

I would suggest you to switch to an earlier version instead (v7.1.x) as it will have less incompatibility issues.

Please note: There could be 3rd party plugins you have, which may have incompatibility issues with specific PHP versions. In such cases, we advice you to get in touch with the plugin developer for a resolution.

Thanks!

Thanks @mldarshana

Is there a planned date for a release that includes fixes to compatibility issues with 7.2? Our hosting provider will begin migrating all accounts to PHP 7.2 in February so we’re on a tight schedule to get all compatibility issues resolved and properly tested well before then.

We’re also doing a case-by-case analysis for compatibility issues with every single plugin and theme.

Hi @phanie12

I have checked our issue tracker and so far we don’t have any open cases for X/Pro theme, Cornerstone plugin or WPBakery Page Builder. The ones we have reported have been fixed in the latest release cycles.

So the best option you have would be to setup a staging environment using the latest PHP version and see if you’re getting any conflicts. If you encounter any issues, please report back to us. You can follow our migration guide here (https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/cornerstone-content-builder-migration/126) on how to setting up a staging environment.

Thanks!
