Hello - was just reading a very recent post where the member is having trouble under PHP 7 and also on WpEngine with some aspect of caching turned on:
https://simple-press.com/suppo.....p7/page-2/
I'm curious that you didn't react to the fact that he is now on PHP7 - I thought the Simple-Press code was not quite ready or tested under PHP7, or had some known issues (based on various comments on other threads)?
My understanding is that PHP7 is overall faster than 5.x, and for something like a forum where caching isn't generally appropriate it would be desirable to optimize where we can.
Thanks,
Kelly

I did actually mention it quite late in one of the threads he opened.
We run under php 7 on our development system. There are no known problems with SP under php7 and the compatibility checker also bears this out. And yes - it is faster and we totally recommend its use.

Ok great! I'm sure it is a big job to deal with the PHP upgrade so didn't want to assume anything - thanks for the no doubt hard work it took!

Actually when we ran the compatibility checker we passed first time. That doesn't mean, of course, that we take advantage (yet) of any 7 features but it did mean we are in good shape to do so.

and are definitely seeing a speed improvement and reduced memory footprint... both hallmarks of php 7...
